Are There Non-Invasive Biomarker(s) That Would Facilitate the Detection of Ovarian Torsion? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (2024)
Journal Article
Naylor, M., Doherty, G., Draper, H., Fletcher, D. M., Rigby, A., Adedipe, T., & Guinn, B. A. (2024). Are There Non-Invasive Biomarker(s) That Would Facilitate the Detection of Ovarian Torsion? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 25(21), Article 11664. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms252111664

Ovarian torsion (OT) is a rare gynaecological emergency that requires a prompt diagnosis for optimal patient management. To determine whether there were any biomarkers suitable for the non-invasive detection of OT, two independent reviewers performed...

Embedding new technology into clinical ultrasound practice: Is role extension for sonographers the key to improving patient pathways? (2022)
Journal Article
Parker, P., Edwards, H., Twiddy, M., Whybrow, P., & Rigby, A. (2022). Embedding new technology into clinical ultrasound practice: Is role extension for sonographers the key to improving patient pathways?. Ultrasound, 31(2), 84-90. https://doi.org/10.1177/1742271X221139210

Introduction: MicroUS is a new imaging technique that may have potential to reliably monitor prostate disease and therefore release capacity in MRI departments. Firstly, however, it is essential to identify which healthcare staff may be suitable to l...

Relation Between Thyroid Function and Mortality in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure (2020)
Journal Article
Samuel, N. A., Cuthbert, J. J., Brown, O. I., Kazmi, S., Cleland, J. G., Rigby, A. S., & Clark, A. L. (2021). Relation Between Thyroid Function and Mortality in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure. The American journal of cardiology, 139, 57-63. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.amjcard.2020.10.034

Thyroid dysfunction is common in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), but there is conflicting evidence regarding its prognostic significance. We investigated the relation between thyroid function and prognosis in a large, well characterized co...
