Cutaneous hyperpigmentation after endovenous laser therapy: a case report and literature review (2007)
Journal Article
Mekako, A., & Chetter, I. (2007). Cutaneous hyperpigmentation after endovenous laser therapy: a case report and literature review. Annals of vascular surgery, 21(5), 637-639. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.avsg.2007.03.013

Endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) for the treatment of varicose veins has been shown to be effective and relatively safe. Reported complications are few and transient. Whereas it is not uncommon to have cutaneous hyperpigmentation following treatment m...

Plasma tissue factor is a predictor for restenosis after femoropopliteal angioplasty (2007)
Journal Article
Ray, B., Chetter, I. C., Lee, H. L. D., Ettelaie, C., & McCollum, P. T. (2007). Plasma tissue factor is a predictor for restenosis after femoropopliteal angioplasty. British journal of surgery, 94(9), 1092-1095. https://doi.org/10.1002/bjs.5759

Background:In vitro studies suggest an association between raised levels of tissue factor and restenosis after coronary percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). This prospective, controlled study examined the association between plasma tissue fac... Read More about Plasma tissue factor is a predictor for restenosis after femoropopliteal angioplasty.

Attitudes to research in surgical training (Winner) (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Coughlin, P. A., & Chetter, I. Attitudes to research in surgical training (Winner)

Cystic lesions of the pancreas (CLP) are increasingly being recognised due to the wide-spread use of cross-sectional imaging. The vast majority although asymptomatic is associated with malignant potential and proves to be a diagnostic challenge. Ther... Read More about Attitudes to research in surgical training (Winner).

Inflammatory mediators modulate thrombin and cathepsin-G signaling in human bronchial fibroblasts by inducing expression of proteinase-activated receptor-4 (2007)
Journal Article
Ramachandran, R., Sadofsky, L., Xiao, Y., Botham, A., Cowen, M., Morice, A., & Compton, S. J. (2007). Inflammatory mediators modulate thrombin and cathepsin-G signaling in human bronchial fibroblasts by inducing expression of proteinase-activated receptor-4. American journal of physiology. Lung cellular and molecular physiology, 292(3), L788-L798. https://doi.org/10.1152/ajplung.00226.2006

Human lung fibroblasts express proteinase-activated receptor-1 (PAR 1 ), PAR 2 and PAR 3 , but not PAR 4 . Because PAR 2 has inflammatory effects on human primary bronchial fibroblasts (HPBF), we asked 1) whether the inflammatory mediators TNF-α and...

Differential functions of tissue factor in the trans-activation of cellular signalling pathways (2006)
Journal Article
Ettelaie, C., Li, C., Collier, M. E. W., Pradier, A., Frentzou, G. A., Wood, C. G., Chetter, I. C., McCollum, P. T., Bruckdorfer, K. R., & James, N. J. (2007). Differential functions of tissue factor in the trans-activation of cellular signalling pathways. Atherosclerosis, 194(1), 88-101. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2006.10.010

In this study we examined the ability of tissue factor (TF) alone, or in conjunction with factor VIIa, factor Xa and TFPI in activating a number of key signalling pathways associated with cellular growth, stress and differentiation responses in human...

A nonrandomised controlled trial of endovenous laser therapy and surgery in the treatment of varicose veins (2006)
Journal Article
Mekako, A. I., Hatfield, J., Bryce, J., Lee, D., McCollum, P. T., & Chetter, I. (2006). A nonrandomised controlled trial of endovenous laser therapy and surgery in the treatment of varicose veins. Annals of vascular surgery, 20(4), 451-457. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10016-006-9095-y

Endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) is a minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins. This study compares early quality-of-life (QoL) outcomes following EVLT and surgery. Two nonrandomized groups were studied: an EVLT group with 70 patients, median a...
