The streptavidin/biotinylated DNA/protein bound complex protocol for determining the association of c-JUN protein with NANOG promoter (2007)
Journal Article

Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a widely used and pre-eminent technique for detecting the association of an individual protein or a particular protein complex with its specific DNA sequence(s) in vivo. Herein we introduce a novel and simple b... Read More about The streptavidin/biotinylated DNA/protein bound complex protocol for determining the association of c-JUN protein with NANOG promoter.

Characterization of an enhancer region of the galanin gene that directs expression to the dorsal root ganglion and confers responsiveness to axotomy (2007)
Journal Article

Galanin expression markedly increases in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) after sciatic nerve axotomy and modulates pain behavior and regeneration of sensory neurons. Here, we describe transgenic mice expressing constructs with varying amounts of seque...

Bone mineral density, polyphenols and caffeine: a reassessment (2007)
Journal Article

Several studies have shown beneficial associations between tea consumption and bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture risk. Current investigations into potential mechanisms of benefit are focused upon the F and polyphenol components of tea. However,...

Effect of maternal dietary restriction during pregnancy on lamb carcass characteristics and muscle fiber composition (2007)
Journal Article

Two experiments were conducted to determine whether the decreased proportion of fast muscle fibers seen previously in 2-wk-old lambs from ewes that were dietary restricted from d 30 to 70 of gestation are still evident in older lambs and what the con...

Critical Psychiatry (2007)
Journal Article

Critical psychiatry appraises and comments upon psychiatric services as they are usually provided. This article, prompted by the publication of a recent book, considers the place of critical psychiatry historically and in the context of contemporar... Read More about Critical Psychiatry.

National evaluation of NHS genetics service investments: emerging issues from the cancer genetics pilots (2007)
Journal Article

In seeking to fulfil the ambition of the 2003 genetics white paper, Our Inheritance, Our Future, to ‘mainstream’ genetic knowledge and practices, the Department of Health provided start-up funding for pilot services in various clinical areas, includi...

The Virtual International Stroke Trials Archive (2007)
Journal Article

Background and Purpose - Stroke has global importance and it causes an increasing amount of human suffering and economic burden, but its management is far from optimal. The unsuccessful outcome of several research programs highlights the need for r... Read More about The Virtual International Stroke Trials Archive.

A Utilitarian Perspective of Social and Medical Contributions to Three Illustrative Conditions, and Recent UK NHS Policy Initiatives (2007)
Journal Article

Background: To date debate concerning the relative merits of social and medical sciences has been largely academic. Aims: To outline and critically appraise a utilitarian approach to mental health research that reflects a critical realist perspect...

Bacteriophage therapy to reduce Salmonella colonization of broiler chickens (2007)
Journal Article

Acute enteric infections caused by salmonellas remain a major public health burden worldwide. Poultry, particularly chickens, are known to be the main reservoir for this zoonotic pathogen. Although some progress has been made in reducing Salmonella c... Read More about Bacteriophage therapy to reduce Salmonella colonization of broiler chickens.

Self-reported efficacy of an online dental anxiety support group: A pilot study (2007)
Journal Article

This study aimed to explore the self-reported effectiveness of an existing online dental anxiety support group in terms of perceived level of anxiety since accessing the group. An online questionnaire was completed by 91 individuals who accessed the... Read More about Self-reported efficacy of an online dental anxiety support group: A pilot study.

Should eye protection be worn during dermatological surgery: prospective observational study (2007)
Journal Article

Background There is a potential risk of infection with blood-borne viruses if a doctor receives a blood splash to a mucous membrane. The quantification of facial contamination with blood has never been documented in the context of dermatological sur...

Randomized controlled trial of the intraligamental use of a local anaesthetic (lignocaine 2%) versus controls in paediatric tooth extraction (2007)
Journal Article

Background. Children still experience pain upon waking following dental extraction under general anaesthesia. Local anaesthetic has been shown to reduce this pain, but needs to be administered via a method that causes minimum injury or distress to th...

Dynamic instabilities in scalar neural field equations with space-dependent delays (2007)
Journal Article

In this paper we consider a class of scalar integral equations with a form of space-dependent delay. These nonlocal models arise naturally when modelling neural tissue with active axons and passive dendrites. Such systems are known to support a dynam...
