Engineered Nanomaterial Impact in the Liver following Exposure via an Intravenous Route–The Role of Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes and Gene Expression in the Organ. Journal of Nanomedicine and Nanotechnology, 4, 157. https://doi.org/10.4172/2157-7439.1000157

Background and methods: Following exposure via a number of routes (inhalation, ingestion or injection), some
Nanomaterials (NMs) translocate to secondary tissues, prominently the liver. This study investigated the effects of an
array of NMs, varyin... Read More about Engineered Nanomaterial Impact in the Liver following Exposure via an Intravenous Route–The Role of Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes and Gene Expression in the Organ.

The intermediate filament protein, vimentin, is a regulator of NOD2 activity (2012)
Journal Article
Stevens, C., Henderson, P., Nimmo, E. R., Soares, D. C., Dogan, B., Simpson, K. W., Barrett, J. C., Wilson, D. C., & Satsangi, J. (2013). The intermediate filament protein, vimentin, is a regulator of NOD2 activity. Gut, 62(5), 695-707. https://doi.org/10.1136/gutjnl-2011-301775

Objective Mutations in the nucleotide-binding oligomerisation domain-containing protein 2 (NOD2) gene remain the strongest genetic determinants for Crohn's disease (CD). Having previously identified vimentin as a novel NOD2-interacting protein, the a... Read More about The intermediate filament protein, vimentin, is a regulator of NOD2 activity.

Multicentre cohort study of red blood cell use for revision hip arthroplasty and factors associated with greater risk of allogeneic blood transfusion (2012)
Journal Article
Walsh, T. S., Palmer, J., Watson, D., Biggin, K., Seretny, M., Davidson, H., Harkness, M., & Hay, A. (2012). Multicentre cohort study of red blood cell use for revision hip arthroplasty and factors associated with greater risk of allogeneic blood transfusion. British Journal of Anaesthesia, 108(1), 63-71. https://doi.org/10.1093/bja/aer326

Background Revision hip arthroplasty (RHA) is associated with high rates of allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT). We aimed to determine factors associated with ABT in patients undergoing RHA in Scottish hospitals, with particular focus on perioperative...
