Abstract
Introduction Asthma has a considerable, but potentially, avoidable burden on many populations globally. Scotland has some of the poorest health outcomes from asthma. Although ambient pollution, weather changes and sociodemographic factors ha...

Validation of the dyspnea exertion scale of breathlessness in people with life-limiting illness (2018)
Journal Article
Sandberg, J., Johnson, M. J., Currow, D. C., & Ekström, M. (2018). Validation of the dyspnea exertion scale of breathlessness in people with life-limiting illness. Journal of pain and symptom management, 56(3), 430-435.e2. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpainsymman.2018.05.002

Background
Although chronic breathlessness is common in life-limiting illnesses, validated feasible instruments to measure functional impact of the symptom in this population are scarce. We aimed to validate the Dyspnea Exertion Scale (DES) compared... Read More about Validation of the dyspnea exertion scale of breathlessness in people with life-limiting illness.

Journal Article
Hardy, J., Skerman, H., Glare, P., Philip, J., Hudson, P., Mitchell, G., Martin, P., Spruyt, O., Currow, D., & Yates, P. (2018).

A Randomized Trial of Early Endovenous Ablation in Venous Ulceration (2018)
Journal Article
Gohel, M. S., Heatley, F., Liu, X., Bradbury, A., Bulbulia, R., Cullum, N., Epstein, D. M., Nyamekye, I., Poskitt, K. R., Renton, S., Warwick, J., & Davies, A. H. (2018). A Randomized Trial of Early Endovenous Ablation in Venous Ulceration. New England Journal of Medicine, 378(22), 2105-2114. https://doi.org/10.1056/nejmoa1801214

BACKGROUND
Venous disease is the most common cause of leg ulceration. Although compression therapy improves venous ulcer healing, it does not treat the underlying causes of venous hypertension. Treatment of superficial venous reflux has been shown t... Read More about A Randomized Trial of Early Endovenous Ablation in Venous Ulceration.

Self-reported skin concerns: An epidemiological study of community-dwelling older people (2018)
Journal Article
Cowdell, F., Dyson, J., Long, J., & Macleod, U. (2018). Self-reported skin concerns: An epidemiological study of community-dwelling older people. International journal of older people nursing, 13(3), e12195. https://doi.org/10.1111/opn.12195

Background
Globally the population is getting older and it is essential to develop effective interventions to promote healthy ageing. Skin change with age is inevitable and renders this often neglected organ more vulnerable to damage and breakdown;...
