Robertson, T., Benzeval, M., Betzer, M., Booker, C., Castagné, R., Delpierre, C., Gallagher, I., Kelly-Irving, M., McCrory, C., Morris, T., Narimatsu, E., & Paval, R. (online). A glossary for social-to-biological research. Longitudinal and Life Course Studies, https://doi.org/10.1332/17579597y2024d000000032

Research has shown that our socially structured experiences elicit a biological response, leading to the observation that numerous biomarkers (objective biological measures that are representative of various biological processes) are socially pattern...

Defining non-inferiority margins in randomised controlled surgical trials: a protocol for a systematic review (2024)
Journal Article
Kuemmerli, C., Gallagher, I. J., Skipworth, R., & Laird, B. (2024). Defining non-inferiority margins in randomised controlled surgical trials: a protocol for a systematic review. BMJ Open, 14(8), Article e089587. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2024-089587

Background: The reporting of randomised controlled non-inferiority (NI) drug trials is poor with less than 50% of published trials reporting a justification of the NI margin. This is despite the introduction of the Consolidated Standards of Reporting...

A systematic review and Bayesian meta-analysis assessing intelectin-1 in cancer patients and healthy individuals (2024)
Journal Article
Paval, D. R., Di Virgilio, T. G., Skipworth, R. J. E., & Gallagher, I. J. (2024). A systematic review and Bayesian meta-analysis assessing intelectin-1 in cancer patients and healthy individuals. Frontiers in Oncology, 14, Article 1198555. https://doi.org/10.3389/fonc.2024.1198555

Background: Intelectin-1 (ITLN1) is an adipokine with multiple physiological functions, including a role in tumour formation and development. Previous research reported variable ITLN1 levels for cancer patients and healthy individuals. This study aim...

Association between menstrual cycle phase and metabolites in healthy, regularly menstruating women in UK Biobank, and effect modification by inflammatory markers and risk factors for metabolic disease (2023)
Journal Article
MacGregor, K. A., Ho, F. K., Celis-Morales, C. A., Pell, J. P., Gallagher, I. J., & Moran, C. N. (2023). Association between menstrual cycle phase and metabolites in healthy, regularly menstruating women in UK Biobank, and effect modification by inflammatory markers and risk factors for metabolic disease. BMC Medicine, 21(1), Article 488. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12916-023-03195-w

Background: Preliminary evidence demonstrates some parameters of metabolic control, including glycaemic control, lipid control and insulin resistance, vary across the menstrual cycle. However, the literature is inconsistent, and the underlying mechan...

Transcriptomics for Clinical and Experimental Biology Research: Hang on a Seq (2023)
Journal Article
Stokes, T., Cen, H. H., Kapranov, P., Gallagher, I. J., Pitsillides, A. A., Volmar, C., Kraus, W. E., Johnson, J. D., Phillips, S. M., Wahlestedt, C., & Timmons, J. A. (2023). Transcriptomics for Clinical and Experimental Biology Research: Hang on a Seq. Advanced Genetics, 4(2), Article 2200024. https://doi.org/10.1002/ggn2.202200024

Sequencing the human genome empowers translational medicine, facilitating transcriptome-wide molecular diagnosis, pathway biology, and drug repositioning. Initially, microarrays are used to study the bulk transcriptome; but now short-read RNA sequenc... Read More about Transcriptomics for Clinical and Experimental Biology Research: Hang on a Seq.

Bayesian analysis of changes in standing horizontal and vertical jump after different modes of resistance training (2022)
Journal Article
Wilson, M. T., Macgregor, L. J., Fyfe, J., Hunter, A. M., Hamilton, D. L., & Gallagher, I. J. (2022). Bayesian analysis of changes in standing horizontal and vertical jump after different modes of resistance training. Journal of Sports Sciences, 40(15), 1700-1711. https://doi.org/10.1080/02640414.2022.2100676

Training interventions often have small effects and are tested in small samples. We used a Bayesian approach to examine the change in jump distance after different resistance training programmes. Thirty-three 18- to 45-year-old males completed one of... Read More about Bayesian analysis of changes in standing horizontal and vertical jump after different modes of resistance training.

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 18(8), Article 3973. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph18083973

This cross-sectional study explored the differences in sociodemographics, dietary intake, and household foodways (cultural, socioeconomic practices that affect food purchase, consumption, and preferences) of food secure and food insecure older women...
