Oral ketamine vs placebo in patients with cancer-related neuropathic pain (2018)
Journal Article
Fallon, M. T., Wilcock, A., Kelly, C. A., Paul, J., Lewsley, L., Norrie, J., & Laird, B. J. A. (2018). Oral ketamine vs placebo in patients with cancer-related neuropathic pain. JAMA Oncology, 4(6), 870-872. https://doi.org/10.1001/jamaoncol.2018.0131

Ketamine hydrochloride is used as an adjuvant treatment for cancer-related neuropathic pain, but evidence of its effectiveness is limited.1 Findings of a large trial investigating the use of ketamine for general cancer pain were negative, but the pop...

FGF21 is an insulin-dependent postprandial hormone in adult humans (2017)
Journal Article
Samms, R. J., Lewis, J. E., Norton, L., Stephens, F. B., Gaffney, C. J., Butterfield, T., …Tsintzas, K. (in press). FGF21 is an insulin-dependent postprandial hormone in adult humans. Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, https://doi.org/10.1210/jc.2017-01257

Context: Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) secretion has been shown to respond directly to carbohydrate consumption, with glucose, fructose and sucrose all reported to increase plasma levels of FGF21 in rodents and humans. However, carbohydrate con... Read More about FGF21 is an insulin-dependent postprandial hormone in adult humans.

Applications and limitations of measuring environmental DNA as indicators of the presence of aquatic animals (2015)
Journal Article
Rees, H. C., Gough, K. C., Middleditch, D. J., Patmore, J. R., & Maddison, B. C. (2015). Applications and limitations of measuring environmental DNA as indicators of the presence of aquatic animals. Journal of Applied Ecology, 52(4), https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2664.12467

1. In Rees et al. (2014b), we reviewed the current status of environmental DNA (eDN A) tomonitor aquatic populations. Our aim was to focus on discus sion of methodologies used,application of eDNA analysis as a survey tool in ecology, and to include s...

The application of eDNA for monitoring of the great crested newt in the UK (2014)
Journal Article
Rees, H. C., Bishop, K., Middleditch, D. J., Patmore, J. R., Maddison, B. C., & Gough, K. C. (2014). The application of eDNA for monitoring of the great crested newt in the UK. Ecology and Evolution, 4(21), https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1272

Current ecological surveys for great crested newts are time-consuming and expensive and can only be carried out within a short survey window. Additional survey methods which would facilitate the detection of rare or protected species such as the grea...

The detection of aquatic animal species using environmental DNA – a review of eDNA as a survey tool in ecology (2014)
Journal Article
Rees, H. C., Maddison, B. C., Middleditch, D. J., Patmore, J. R., & Gough, K. C. (2014). The detection of aquatic animal species using environmental DNA – a review of eDNA as a survey tool in ecology. Journal of Applied Ecology, 51, https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2664.12306

1. Knowledge of species distribution is critical to ecological management and conservation biology. Effective management requires the detection of populations, which can sometimes be at low densities and is usually based on visual detection and count...
