The meaning of patient satisfaction: An explanation of high reported levels (1998)
Journal Article
Williams, B., Coyle, J., & Healy, D. (1998). The meaning of patient satisfaction: An explanation of high reported levels. Social Science and Medicine, 47(9), 1351-1359. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0277-9536%2898%2900213-5

The social policy background to the proliferation of patient satisfaction surveys is a desire for increased patient representation and participation. Within this context, it is assumed that satisfaction surveys embody patients' evaluations of service... Read More about The meaning of patient satisfaction: An explanation of high reported levels.

Design of hypoxia-targeting radiopharmaceuticals: selective uptake of copper-64 complexes in hypoxic cells in vitro (1998)
Journal Article
Dearling, J. L. J., Lewis, J. S., Mullen, G. E. D., Rae, M. T., Zweit, J., & Blower, P. J. (1998). Design of hypoxia-targeting radiopharmaceuticals: selective uptake of copper-64 complexes in hypoxic cells in vitro. European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, 25(7), 788-792. https://doi.org/10.1007/s002590050283

The well-known perfusion tracer CuPTSM, labelled with 62Cu or 64Cu, is believed to be trapped in cells non-selectively by a bioreductive mechanism. It is proposed that by modifying the ligand to increase its electron donor strength (for example by ad...

Leg extensor power and quadriceps strength: an assessment of repeatability in patients with osteoarthritic knees (1998)
Journal Article
Robertson, S., Frost, H., Doll, H., & O’Connor, J. J. (1998). Leg extensor power and quadriceps strength: an assessment of repeatability in patients with osteoarthritic knees. Clinical Rehabilitation, 12(2), 120-126. https://doi.org/10.1191/026921598673072472

OBJECTIVE:
To assess the repeatability of two muscle function measures -- leg extensor power (LEP) and isometric quadriceps force (IQF) -- in a population of patients with osteoarthritis of the knee.
DESIGN:
Repeat measures of LEP and IQF at 25 de... Read More about Leg extensor power and quadriceps strength: an assessment of repeatability in patients with osteoarthritic knees.

A fitness programme for patients with chronic low back pain: 2-year follow-up of a randomised controlled trial (1998)
Journal Article
Frost, H., Lamb, E. S., Moffett, K. . A. J., Fairbank, T. J., & Moser, S. J. (1998). A fitness programme for patients with chronic low back pain: 2-year follow-up of a randomised controlled trial. PAIN, 75(2), 273-279. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0304-3959%2898%2900005-0

The aim of this study was to assess the long-term effect of a supervised fitness programme on patients with chronic low back pain. The design of the study was a single blind randomised controlled trial with follow-up, by postal questionnaire, 2 years...
