Perinatal maternal life events and psychotic experiences in children at twelve years in a birth cohort study (2013)
Journal Article

Background: International studies indicate that the median prevalence of psychotic experiences in children is 7%. It has been proposed that environmental stress during pregnancy may affect the neurodevelopment of the foetus and lead to a vulnerabilit...

Holocene-aged human footprints from the Cuatrociénegas Basin, NE Mexico (2013)
Journal Article

Two sets of well-preserved human footprints have been found in tufa sediments in the Cuatrociénegas Basin, NE Mexico, and here we present their U-series dates of 10.55±0.03ka and 7.24±0.13ka. The former are the oldest known footprints in Mexico, alth... Read More about Holocene-aged human footprints from the Cuatrociénegas Basin, NE Mexico.

Complete genome sequence of universal bacteriophage host strain Campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni PT14 (2013)
Journal Article

Campylobacter jejuni strain PT14 is a clinical isolate previously used to propagate bacteriophages in the United Kingdom phage typing scheme. The strain has proven useful in the isolation of Campylobacter bacteriophages from several sources, and it f...

The impact of cafeteria diet feeding on physiology and anxiety-related behaviour in male and female Sprague-Dawley rats of different ages (2013)
Journal Article

There is emerging experimental evidence that hyper-energetic diets not only cause obesity but also impact on behaviour in rodents. A hyper-energetic comfort diet/cafeteria diet (CD) fed during early development programmes anxiety-related behaviour in...

Finite element investigation of the effect of spina bifida on loading of the vertebral isthmus (2013)
Journal Article

Background: Spondylolysis (SL) of the lower lumbar spine is frequently associated with spina bifida occulta (SBO).
