Objective
Intermittent claudication occurs in 20 % of the population over 70 and treatment includes a supervised exercise programme (SEP). Whilst there is evidence demonstrating walking improvements following a SEP there is conflicting data on the ph...

A validation and calibration process for self-reported tobacco use with participants’ cotinine levels: an example from the Building Blocks trial (2018)
Journal Article
Huang, C., Roberts, Z., Cannings-John, R., Sanders, J., Pickett, K., Montgomery, A., & Robling, M. (2019). A validation and calibration process for self-reported tobacco use with participants’ cotinine levels: an example from the Building Blocks trial. Nicotine and Tobacco Research, 21(12), 1660-1664. https://doi.org/10.1093/ntr/nty232

Reducing smoking in pregnancy was a primary outcome in our Building Blocks trial of the Family Nurse Partnership. We calibrated maternal reports of smoking using cotinine values derived from urine samples to assess tobacco use. This involves identify...

© 2018 The Author(s). Background: In hospital, staff need to routinely monitor patients to identify those who are seriously ill, so that they receive timely treatment to improve their condition. A Paediatric Early Warning System is a multi-faceted so...

To determine the extent of physiological variation of uptake of 18F-flurodeoxyglucose (FDG) within palatine tonsils. To define normal limits for side-to-side variation and characterize factors affecting tonsillar uptake of FDG.

Over a period of 16... Read More about Determinants of physiological uptake of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose in palatine tonsils.
