Physical activity preferences and type 2 diabetes: Exploring demographic, cognitive, and behavioral differences (2010)
Journal Article
Forbes, C. C., Plotnikoff, R. C., Courneya, K. S., & Boulé, N. G. (2010). Physical activity preferences and type 2 diabetes: Exploring demographic, cognitive, and behavioral differences. Diabetes Educator, 36(5), 801-815. https://doi.org/10.1177/0145721710378538

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to examine physical activity counseling and program preferences in a sample of adults with type 2 diabetes. Specifically, the objectives were to determine physical activity preferences (objective 1), and whether...

The role of blood pressure variability in the development of nephropathy in type 1 diabetes (2010)
Journal Article
Kilpatrick, E. S., Rigby, A. S., & Atkin, S. L. (2010). The role of blood pressure variability in the development of nephropathy in type 1 diabetes. Diabetes Care, 33(11), 2442-2447. https://doi.org/10.2337/dc10-1000

OBJECTIVE - Increases in blood pressure and visit-to-visit variability have both been found to independently increase the likelihood of cardiovascular events in nondiabetic individuals. This study has investigated whether each may also influence the... Read More about The role of blood pressure variability in the development of nephropathy in type 1 diabetes.

Microfluidic perfusion system for maintaining viable heart tissue with real-time electrochemical monitoring of reactive oxygen species (2010)
Journal Article
Cheah, L.-T., Dou, Y. H., Seymour, A. M. L., Dyer, C. E., Haswell, S. J., Wadhawan, J. D., & Greenman, J. (2010). Microfluidic perfusion system for maintaining viable heart tissue with real-time electrochemical monitoring of reactive oxygen species. Lab on a chip, 10(20), 2720-2726. https://doi.org/10.1039/c004910g

A microfluidic device has been developed to maintain viable heart tissue samples in a biomimetic microenvironment. This device allows rat or human heart tissue to be studied under pseudo in vivo conditions. Effluent levels of lactate dehydrogenase an...

Energy delivery during 810 nm endovenous laser ablation of varicose veins and post-procedural morbidity (2010)
Journal Article
Carradice, D., Mazari, F. A., Mekako, A., Hatfield, J., Allgar, V., & Chetter, I. (2010). Energy delivery during 810 nm endovenous laser ablation of varicose veins and post-procedural morbidity. European journal of vascular and endovascular surgery : the official journal of the European Society for Vascular Surgery, 40(3), 393-398. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejvs.2010.04.010

Aim: The durability of occlusion post endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) for varicose veins is linked to the magnitude of energy delivered to the vein and consequently increasing amounts of energy are employed. The aim of this study is to establish whet... Read More about Energy delivery during 810 nm endovenous laser ablation of varicose veins and post-procedural morbidity.

A randomised trial of high vs low intensity training in breathing techniques for breathless patients with malignant lung disease: A feasibility study (2010)
Journal Article
Barton, R., English, A., Nabb, S., Rigby, A. S., & Johnson, M. J. (2010). A randomised trial of high vs low intensity training in breathing techniques for breathless patients with malignant lung disease: A feasibility study. Lung Cancer, 70(3), 313-319. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lungcan.2010.03.007

Background: Breathlessness remains a refractory symptom in malignant lung disease. Breathing training is an effective, non-pharmacological intervention but it is unclear how this should be delivered. This feasibility study aimed to assess recruitment...

Biomarkers of chemotherapy resistance in breast cancer identified by proteomics: current status (2010)
Journal Article
Hodgkinson, V. C., Eagle, G. L., Drew, P. J., Lind, M. J., & Cawkwell, L. (2010). Biomarkers of chemotherapy resistance in breast cancer identified by proteomics: current status. Cancer Letters, 294(1), 13-24. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.canlet.2010.01.036

This review describes and discusses the advantages and limitations of proteomic approaches in the identification of biomarkers associated with chemotherapy resistance. Both gel-based (two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) and gel-free (... Read More about Biomarkers of chemotherapy resistance in breast cancer identified by proteomics: current status.

A randomized, controlled dose-ranging study of risedronate in children with moderate and severe osteogenesis imperfecta (2009)
Journal Article
Bishop, N., Harrison, R., Ahmed, F., Shaw, N., Eastell, R., Campbell, M., Knowles, E., Hill, C., Hall, C., Chapman, S., Sprigg, A., & Rigby, A. (2010). A randomized, controlled dose-ranging study of risedronate in children with moderate and severe osteogenesis imperfecta. Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 25(1), 32-40. https://doi.org/10.1359/jbmr.090712

Moderate to severe osteogenesis imperfecta is associated with multiple fractures in childhood. There are no published data regarding the effects of third-generation bisphosphonates in these children. This randomized study investigated which of three... Read More about A randomized, controlled dose-ranging study of risedronate in children with moderate and severe osteogenesis imperfecta.
