Journal Article

Background: Complete and accurate data on maternal smoking prevalence during pregnancy are not available at a local geographical scale in England. We employ a synthetic estimation approach to predict the expected prevalence of smoking during pregnanc...

Supporting adherence for people starting a new medication for a long-term condition through community pharmacies: a pragmatic randomised controlled trial of the New Medicine Service (2015)
Journal Article

Objective: To examine the effectiveness of the New Medicine Service (NMS), a national community pharmacy service to support medicines-taking in people starting a new medicine for a long-term condition, compared with normal practice. Methods: Pragm...

In-hospital mortality following surgical lung biopsy for interstitial lung disease in the USA: 2000-2011 (2015)
Journal Article

Rationale: Surgical lung biopsy can help to determine a specific diagnosis in interstitial lung disease, but has associated risks. Most currently available mortality data are derived from case series and may not be generalizable to broader population...

Thermoresponsive magnetic colloidal gels via surface-initiated polymerisation from functional microparticles (2015)
Journal Article

Novel magnetothermally responsive core-shell microparticles have been synthesized. The aqueous suspensions of these particles exhibit fast thermoreversible fluid-to-gel transitions and retain good magnetic properties. Rheological measurements demonst...

Cognitive Rehabilitation for Attention and Memory in people with Multiple Sclerosis: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial (CRAMMS) (2015)
Journal Article

Background People with multiple sclerosis have problems with memory and attention. Cognitive rehabilitation is a structured set of therapeutic activities designed to retrain an individual’s memory and other cognitive functions. Cognitive rehabili...

Glyceryl Trinitrate for Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Results From the Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke (ENOS) Trial, a Subgroup Analysis (2015)
Journal Article

Background and purpose: The Efficacy of Nitric oxide in Stroke (ENOS) trial found that transdermal glyceryl trinitrate (GTN, a nitric oxide donor) lowered blood pressure but did not improve functional outcome in patients with acute stroke. However, G... Read More about Glyceryl Trinitrate for Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Results From the Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke (ENOS) Trial, a Subgroup Analysis.

Early apoptosis of porcine alveolar macrophages limits avian influenza virus replication and proinflammatory dysregulation (2015)
Journal Article

Pigs are evidently more resistant to avian than swine influenza A viruses, mediated in part through frontline epithelial cells and alveolar macrophages (AM). Although porcine AM (PAM) are crucial in influenza virus control, their mode of control is u...

L-band scintillations and calibrated total electron content gradients over Brazil during the last solar maximum (2015)
Journal Article

This work presents a contribution to the understanding of the ionospheric triggering of L-band scintillation in the region over São Paulo state in Brazil, under high solar activity. In particular, a climatological analysis of Global Navigation Satell...

Four-dimensional projective orbifold hypersurfaces (2015)
Journal Article

We classify four-dimensional quasismooth weighted hypersurfaces with small canonical class, and verify a conjecture of Johnson and Kollar on infinite series of quasismooth hypersurfaces with anticanonical hyperplane section in the case of fourfolds....

Fragment-Based Discovery of Subtype-Selective Adenosine Receptor Ligands from Homology Models (2015)
Journal Article

Fragment-based lead discovery (FBLD) holds great promise for drug discovery, but applications to G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been limited by a lack of sensitive screening techniques and scarce structural information. If virtual screening... Read More about Fragment-Based Discovery of Subtype-Selective Adenosine Receptor Ligands from Homology Models.

Prevalence and risk factors for reduced sound tolerance (hyperacusis) in children (2015)

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of reduced sound tolerance (hyperacusis) in a UK population of 11-year-old children and examine the association of early life and auditory risk factors with report of hyperacusis. Design: A prospective UK populat... Read More about Prevalence and risk factors for reduced sound tolerance (hyperacusis) in children.

Sequence and partial functional analysis of canine Bcl-2 family proteins (2015)
Journal Article

Dogs present with spontaneous neoplasms biologically similar to human cancers. Apoptotic pathways are deregulated during cancer genesis and progression and are important for therapy. We have assessed the degree of conservation of a set of canine Bcl-... Read More about Sequence and partial functional analysis of canine Bcl-2 family proteins.

Interfacial contribution to thickness dependent in-plane anisotropic magnetoresistance (2015)
Journal Article

We have studied in-plane anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) in cobalt films with overlayers having designed electrically interface transparency. With an electrically opaque cobalt/overlayer interface, the AMR ratio is shown to vary in inverse propor...
