Statistical analysis plan for the ‘Tranexamic acid for hyperacute primary IntraCerebral Haemorrhage’ (TICH-2) trial (2017)
Journal Article

Rationale Aside from blood pressure lowering, treatment options for intracerebral haemorrhage remain limited and a proportion of patients will undergo early haematoma expansion with resultant significant morbidity and mortality. Tranexamic acid (T... Read More about Statistical analysis plan for the ‘Tranexamic acid for hyperacute primary IntraCerebral Haemorrhage’ (TICH-2) trial.

Constraint induced movement therapy in hemiplegic cerebral palsy: a national survey of its use by physiotherapists in the UK (2017)
Journal Article

Background/aims: There is an emerging evidence base into the use of Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) in hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy (CP). However, there is little evidence of its use in the UK. This study aimed to conduct a national survey of...

The after-hours circadian mutant has reduced phenotypic plasticity in behaviors at multiple timescales and in sleep homeostasis (2017)
Journal Article

Circadian clock is known to adapt to environmental changes and can significantly influence cognitive and physiological functions. In this work, we report specific behavioral, cognitive, and sleep homeostatic defects in the after hours (Afh) circadian... Read More about The after-hours circadian mutant has reduced phenotypic plasticity in behaviors at multiple timescales and in sleep homeostasis.

The empirical link between export entry mode diversity and export performance: A contingency- and institutional-based examination (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 Elsevier Inc. This study examines, for the first time, the critical issue of whether firms ought to adopt various entry modes in their export activities, i.e. whether firms ought to carry-out greater levels of export entry mode diversity, as a...

Ecotoxicity assessment of dicationic versus monocationic ionic liquids as a more environmentally friendly alternative (2017)
Journal Article

One of the reasons why ionic liquids have received growing interest from researchers is their environmentally interesting characteristics, such as their negligible vapour pressure and their good chemical and thermal properties. In particular, dicatio... Read More about Ecotoxicity assessment of dicationic versus monocationic ionic liquids as a more environmentally friendly alternative.

Identification and expression profiling of Pht1 phosphate transporters in wheat in controlled environments and in the field (2017)
Journal Article

Phosphorus (P) is an important macronutrient with critical functions in plants. Phosphate (Pi) transporters which mediate Pi acquisition and Pi translocation within the plant are key factors in Pi deficiency responses. However, their relevance for ad... Read More about Identification and expression profiling of Pht1 phosphate transporters in wheat in controlled environments and in the field.

Inflammation-mediated muscle metabolic dysregulation local and remote to the site of major abdominal surgery (2017)
Journal Article

Background & aims: Postoperative hyperglycaemia is common in patients having major surgery and is associated with adverse outcomes. This study aimed to determine whether bacteraemia contributed to postoperative systemic inflammation, and whether incr... Read More about Inflammation-mediated muscle metabolic dysregulation local and remote to the site of major abdominal surgery.

Association between ultrasound-detected synovitis and knee pain: a population-based case-control study with both cross-sectional and follow-up data (2017)
Journal Article

Background: Recently an important role for synovial pathology in the initiation and progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA) has been emphasised. This study aimed to examine whether ultrasonographydetected synovial changes (USSCs) associate with knee... Read More about Association between ultrasound-detected synovitis and knee pain: a population-based case-control study with both cross-sectional and follow-up data.

ATNT: an enhanced system for expression of polycistronic secondary metabolite gene clusters in Aspergillus niger (2017)
Journal Article

Background: Fungi are treasure chests for yet unexplored natural products. However, exploitation of their real potential remains difficult as a significant proportion of biosynthetic gene clusters appears silent under standard laboratory conditions.... Read More about ATNT: an enhanced system for expression of polycistronic secondary metabolite gene clusters in Aspergillus niger.

The impact of dairy cows' bedding material and its microbial content on the quality and safety of milk: a cross sectional study of UK farms (2017)
Journal Article

The introduction of bedding dairy cows on recycled manure solids (RMS) in the UK led to concern by competent authorities that there could be an increased, unacceptable risk to animal and human health. A cross-sectional study was designed to evaluate...

Seasonal variation in the nutrient profile of Arthrospira fusiformis biomass harvested from an Ethiopian soda lake, Lake Chitu (2017)
Journal Article

The extent of seasonal variation in the nutrient profile of Arthrospira biomass harvested from Lake Chitu was investigated to evaluate the variability of the quality of the product over a period of a year. Protein content varied from 47.9 to 55.7% fo... Read More about Seasonal variation in the nutrient profile of Arthrospira fusiformis biomass harvested from an Ethiopian soda lake, Lake Chitu.
