Simulated consultations: a sociolinguistic perspective (2016)
Journal Article

Background Assessment of consulting skills using simulated patients is widespread in medical education. Most research into such assessment is sited in a statistical paradigm that focuses on psychometric properties or replicability of such tests. Equ...

Toward integrated historical climate research: the example of atmospheric circulation reconstructions over the earth (2016)
Journal Article

Climate change has become a key environmental narrative of the 21st century. However, emphasis on the science of climate change has overshadowed studies focusing on human interpretations of climate history, of adaptation and resilience, and of explor...

Continued versus discontinued cannabis use in patients with psychosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2016)
Journal Article

Background: Although the link between cannabis use and development of psychosis is well established, less is known about the effect of continued versus discontinued cannabis use after the onset of psychosis. We aimed to summarise available evidence f... Read More about Continued versus discontinued cannabis use in patients with psychosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Delivery strategies to control inflammatory response: Modulating M1–M2 polarization in tissue engineering applications (2016)
Journal Article

Macrophages are key players in many physiological scenarios including tissue homeostasis. In response to injury, typically the balance between macrophage sub-populations shifts from an M1 phenotype (pro-inflammatory) to an M2 phenotype (anti-inflamma...
