Background: General and preventive health checks are a key feature of contemporary policies of anticipatory care. Ensuring high and equitable uptake of such general health checks is essential to ensuring health gain and preventing health inequalities...

Skill mix—HCAs and their role in quality healthcare (2012)
Journal Article
McIntosh, B., & Smith, S. (2012). Skill mix—HCAs and their role in quality healthcare. British journal of healthcare assistants : for HCAs and assistant practitioners, 6(8), 396-399. https://doi.org/10.12968/bjha.2012.6.8.396

The NHS must increase productivity by 6% every year if it is to make projected efficiency savings of £21 billion by 2014. At the same time, it is expected to maintain or improve the quality of care. We know staff costs make up 60% of the NHS budget,... Read More about Skill mix—HCAs and their role in quality healthcare.

PLOS Pathogens, 8(8), Article e1002901. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1002901

Little is known about the role of viral genes in modulating host cytokine responses. Here we report a new functional role of the viral encoded IE1 protein of the murine cytomegalovirus in sculpting the inflammatory response in an acute infection. In...

Self-attacking and self-reassurance in persecutory delusions: A comparison of healthy, depressed and paranoid individuals (2012)
Journal Article
Hutton, P., Kelly, J., Lowens, I., Taylor, P. J., & Tai, S. (2013). Self-attacking and self-reassurance in persecutory delusions: A comparison of healthy, depressed and paranoid individuals. Psychiatry Research, 205(1), 127-136. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psychres.2012.08.010

Previous research has found that reduced self-reassurance and heightened verbal 'self-attacking' of a sadistic and persecutory nature are both associated with greater subclinical paranoia. Whether these processes are also linked to clinical paranoia...

The presence of long spinal muscles increases stiffness and hysteresis of the caprine spine in-vitro (2012)
Journal Article
Valentin, S., Groesel, M., & Licka, T. (2012). The presence of long spinal muscles increases stiffness and hysteresis of the caprine spine in-vitro. Journal of Biomechanics, 45(15), 2506-2512. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2012.07.022

Long muscle-tendon-units are known to contribute to spinal stiffness and hysteresis in-vivo, yet their contribution as a passive structure in-vitro is less well defined. Twelve full length caprine spines including the head, pelvis and all spinal musc...
