Journal Article
Johnston, H. J., Hutchison, G. R., Christensen, F. M., Peters, S., Hankin, S., & Stone, V. (2009). Identification of the mechanisms that drive the toxicity of TiO2 particulates: the contribution of physicochemical characteristics. Particle and fibre toxicology, 6(1), 33. https://doi.org/10.1186/1743-8977-6-33

This review focuses on outlining the toxicity of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) particulates in vitro and in vivo, in order to understand their ability to detrimentally impact on human health. Evaluating the hazards associated with TiO₂ particles is vital a...

The Biological Mechanisms and Physicochemical Characteristics Responsible for Driving Fullerene Toxicity (2009)
Journal Article
Johnston, H. J., Hutchison, G. R., Christensen, F. M., Aschberger, K., & Stone, V. (2010). The Biological Mechanisms and Physicochemical Characteristics Responsible for Driving Fullerene Toxicity. Toxicological Sciences, 114(2), 162-182. https://doi.org/10.1093/toxsci/kfp265

This review provides a comprehensive critical review of the available literature purporting to assess the toxicity of carbon fullerenes. This is required as prior to the widespread utilization and production of fullerenes, it is necessary to consider...

Although communication issues within health care have received greater research and policy attention in recent years, one growing aspect of such communication has been largely overlooked. In this paper we suggest that visual forms of communication, a... Read More about Images in Health Care: Potential and Problems.

Reflections on applying for NHS ethical approval and governance in a climate of rapid change: prioritising process over principles (2009)
Journal Article
McDonach, E., Barbour, R. S., & Williams, B. (2009). Reflections on applying for NHS ethical approval and governance in a climate of rapid change: prioritising process over principles. International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 12(3), 227-241. https://doi.org/10.1080/13645570701606127

Ethical review and governance of health services research in the UK have undergone significant changes in recent years. Tracing this incremental development helps to understand the rationale for introducing a more standardised process. Reflecting on...
