Journal Article
Simpson, R. J., Florida-James, G. D., Whyte, G. P., Middleton, N., Shave, R., George, K., & Guy, K. (2007). The effects of marathon running on expression of the complement regulatory proteins CD55 (DAF) and CD59 (MACIF) on red blood cells. European Journal of Applied Physiology, 99(2), 201-204. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00421-006-0326-2

Exercise is known to result in the haemolysis of red blood cells (RBCs). Although mechanical stressors such as footstrike and an increased velocity of blood flow may be involved, the biological mechanisms that underpin RBC haemolysis remain elusive....

The requirements for original doctoral research in nursing. (2006)
Journal Article
Snowden, A. (2006). The requirements for original doctoral research in nursing. Nursing Times, 102, 38-40

Clinical and academic doctorates (PhDs) demand an original piece of research. This article examines how to generate such research in nursing and proposes that it is not as elusive as it first appears.

Identification and survival of carriers of mutations in DNA mis-match repair genes in colon cancer. (2006)
Journal Article
Barnetson, R. A., Tenesa, A., Farrington, S. M., Nicholl, I. D., Cetnarskyj, R., Porteous, M. E., Campbell, H., & Dunlop, M. G. (2006). Identification and survival of carriers of mutations in DNA mis-match repair genes in colon cancer. New England Journal of Medicine, 354, 2751-2763

Background The identification of mutations in germ-line DNA mismatch-repair genes at the time of diagnosis of colorectal cancer is important in the management of the disease.

Methods Without preselection and regardless of family history, we recru... Read More about Identification and survival of carriers of mutations in DNA mis-match repair genes in colon cancer..

UKCP: a collaborative network of cerebral palsy registers in the United Kingdom. (2006)
Journal Article
Bonellie, S., Colver, A., Surman, G., Chalmers, J., Dolk, H., Hemming, K., King, A., Kurinczuk, J. J., Parkes, J., & Platt, M. J. (2006). UKCP: a collaborative network of cerebral palsy registers in the United Kingdom. Journal of Public Health, 28, 148-156. https://doi.org/10.1093/pubmed/fdi087

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a relatively rare condition with enormous social and financial impact. Information about CP is not routinely collected in the United Kingdom. We have pooled non-identifiable data from the five currently active UK CP registers t... Read More about UKCP: a collaborative network of cerebral palsy registers in the United Kingdom..

Data mining medical information: should artificial neural networks be used to analyse trauma audit data? (2006)
Journal Article
Chesney, T., Penny, K. I., Oakley, P., Davies, S., Chesney, D., Maffulli, N., & Templeton, J. (2006). Data mining medical information: should artificial neural networks be used to analyse trauma audit data?. International Journal of Healthcare Information Systems and Informatics, 1, 51-64. https://doi.org/10.4018/jhisi.2006040104

Trauma audit is intended to develop effective care for injured patients through process and outcome analysis, and dissemination of results. The system records injury details such as the patient’s sex and age, the mechanism of the injury, various meas...

Central periodic breathing observed on hospital admission is associated with an adverse prognosis in conscious acute stroke patients (2006)
Journal Article
Rowat, A. M., Dennis, M. S., & Wardlaw, J. M. (2006). Central periodic breathing observed on hospital admission is associated with an adverse prognosis in conscious acute stroke patients. Cerebrovascular Diseases, 21, 340-347. https://doi.org/10.1159/000091540

Background: Central periodic breathing (CPB) is common following acute stroke, but its prognostic significance is uncertain. We determined the frequency of CPB on admission with stroke and assessed whether it was related to outcome. Methods: We measu...
