How Long Does It Take to Read a Mammogram? Investigating the Reading Time of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis and Digital Mammography (2024)
Journal Article

Purpose To analyse digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) reading times in the screening setting, compared to 2D full-field digital mammography (FFDM), and investigate the impact of reader experience and professional group on interpretation times. Me... Read More about How Long Does It Take to Read a Mammogram? Investigating the Reading Time of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis and Digital Mammography.

Real-imaginary spectrum decomposition of the transparency spectra in microwave dressed Rydberg systems (2024)
Journal Article

To distinguish the contributions of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and Autler-Townes splitting (ATS) in their applications in precision laser spectroscopy, we propose a real-imaginary spectrum decomposition method to investigate the t...

Smoking, nicotine and pregnancy 2 (SNAP2) trial: protocol for a randomised controlled trial of an intervention to improve adherence to nicotine replacement therapy during pregnancy (2024)
Journal Article

IntroductionSmoking during pregnancy is harmful to unborn babies, infants and women. Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is offered as the usual stop-smoking support in the UK. However, this is often used in insufficient doses, intermittently or for t...

The Potential of Plant-Produced Virus-like Particle Vaccines for African Horse Sickness and Other Equine Orbiviruses (2024)
Journal Article

African horse sickness is a devastating viral disease of equids. It is transmitted by biting midges of the genus Culicoides with mortalities reaching over 90% in naïve horses. It is endemic to sub-Saharan Africa and is seasonally endemic in many part...
