Journal Article
Paterson, R. E., Redman, S. G., Unwin, R., McElhinney, E., Macphee, M., & Downer, F. (2016). Non-medical prescribing assessment – An evaluation of a nationally agreed multi method approach. Nurse Education in Practice, 16(1), 280-286. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nepr.2015.10.008

In the United Kingdom, legislation permits nurses and allied health professionals to prescribe for patients within their care. Preparation for this role includes learning, teaching and assessment that is embedded in practice, supervised by a designat...

Journal Article
Hougaard, K. S., Campagnolo, L., Chavatte-Palmer, P., Tarrade, A., Rousseau-Ralliard, D., Valentino, S., Park, M. V. D. Z., de Jong, W. H., Wolterink, G., Piersma, A. H., Ross, B. L., Hutchison, G. R., Hansen, J. S., Vogel, U., Jackson, P., Slama, R., Pietroiusti, A., & Cassee, F. R. (2015). A perspective on the developmental toxicity of inhaled nanoparticles. Reproductive Toxicology, 56, 118-140. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.reprotox.2015.05.015

This paper aimed to clarify whether maternal inhalation of engineered nanoparticles (NP) may constitute a hazard to pregnancy and fetal development, primarily based on experimental animal studies of NP and air pollution particles. Overall, it is plau... Read More about A perspective on the developmental toxicity of inhaled nanoparticles.

The total margin of exposure of ethanol and acetaldehyde for heavy drinkers consuming cider or vodka (2015)
Journal Article
Lachenmeier, D. W., Gill, J. S., Chick, J., & Rehm, J. (2015). The total margin of exposure of ethanol and acetaldehyde for heavy drinkers consuming cider or vodka. Food and Chemical Toxicology, 83, 210-214. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fct.2015.05.006

Heavy drinkers in Scotland may consume 1600 g ethanol per week. Due to its low price, cider may be
preferred over other beverages. Anecdotal evidence has linked cider to specific health hazards beyond
other alcoholic beverages. To examine this hypo... Read More about The total margin of exposure of ethanol and acetaldehyde for heavy drinkers consuming cider or vodka.

Multi-walled carbon nanotube induced frustrated phagocytosis, cytotoxicity and pro-inflammatory conditions in macrophages are length dependent and greater than that of asbestos (2015)
Journal Article
Boyles, M. S., Young, L., Brown, D. M., MacCalman, L., Cowie, H., Moisala, A., Smail, F., Smith, P. J., Proudfoot, L., Windle, A. H., & Stone, V. (2015). Multi-walled carbon nanotube induced frustrated phagocytosis, cytotoxicity and pro-inflammatory conditions in macrophages are length dependent and greater than that of asbestos. Toxicology in Vitro, 29(7), 1513-1528. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tiv.2015.06.012

The potential toxicity of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been compared to pathogenic fibres such as asbestos. It is important to test this hypothesis to ascertain safe methods for CNT production, handling and disposal. In this study aspects reported to...

Evaluation of a specialist physiotherapy service for homeless people (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hislop, J., & Newlands, C. Evaluation of a specialist physiotherapy service for homeless people. Presented at World Confederation for Physical Therapy Congress 2015, Singapore

Background: Research suggests that homeless people experience higher levels of mental and physical health problem than the rest of the population. Despite the greater need for healthcare, many homeless people face additional problems in accessing app... Read More about Evaluation of a specialist physiotherapy service for homeless people.

Quetiapine immediate release v. placebo for schizophrenia: systematic review, meta-analysis and reappraisal (2015)
Journal Article
Hutton, P., Taylor, P. J., Mulligan, L., Tully, S., & Moncrieff, J. (2015). Quetiapine immediate release v. placebo for schizophrenia: systematic review, meta-analysis and reappraisal. British Journal of Psychiatry, 206(5), 360-370. https://doi.org/10.1192/bjp.bp.114.154377

Background:
Immediate-release (IR) quetiapine has been used to treat schizophrenia since 1997, although all the principal placebo-controlled trials have >50% missing outcome data. New studies with relatively lower rates of participant withdrawal hav... Read More about Quetiapine immediate release v. placebo for schizophrenia: systematic review, meta-analysis and reappraisal.

Invadolysin acts genetically via the SAGA complex to modulate chromosome structure (2015)
Journal Article
Janiszewski, M. M., Heck, M. M., Rao, S. G., Janiszewski, M. M., Duca, E., Nelson, B., Abhinav, K., Panagakou, I., Vass, S., & Heck, M. M. S. (2015). Invadolysin acts genetically via the SAGA complex to modulate chromosome structure. Nucleic Acids Research, 43(7), 3546-3562. https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkv211

Identification of components essential to chromosome structure and behaviour remains a vibrant area of study. We have previously shown that invadolysin is essential in Drosophila, with roles in cell division and cell migration. Mitotic chromosomes ar...
