Heat shock proteins in vascular disease - a review (2005)
Journal Article
Mehta, T., Greenman, J., Ettelaie, C., Venkatasubramaniam, A., Chetter, I., & McCollum, P. (2005). Heat shock proteins in vascular disease - a review. European journal of vascular and endovascular surgery : the official journal of the European Society for Vascular Surgery, 29(4), 395-402. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejvs.2005.01.005

Introduction There is growing evidence that heat shock proteins (HSPs), a family of stress-inducible proteins may be involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic vascular diseases. Here, we systematically review the evidence behind this notion.... Read More about Heat shock proteins in vascular disease - a review.

Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate complex healthcare interventions - A case study (2004)
Journal Article
Wong, I. C. K. (2004). Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate complex healthcare interventions - A case study. Pharmacy world & science : PWS, 26(5), 247-252. doi:10.1023/B:PHAR.0000042920.34663.04

In 2001 the UK National Health Service (NHS) issued its National Service Framework for the Elderly (NSF-E). This identified the elderly as a vulnerable group needing a high level of pharmaceutical intervention. As such, the NSF-E outlined plans to im...

A Comparative Study of Aortic Wall Stress Using Finite Element Analysis for Ruptured and Non-ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms*1 (2004)
Journal Article
VENKATASUBRAMANIAM, A., FAGAN, M., MEHTA, T., MYLANKAL, K., RAY, B., KUHAN, G., …MCCOLLUM, P. (2004). A Comparative Study of Aortic Wall Stress Using Finite Element Analysis for Ruptured and Non-ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms*1. European journal of vascular and endovascular surgery : the official journal of the European Society for Vascular Surgery, 28(2), 168-176. https://doi.org/10.1016/S1078-5884%2804%2900178-9

Background. The decision to repair an asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is currently based on diameter (greater than or equal to 5.5 cm) alone. However, aneurysms less than 5.5 cm do rupture while some reach greater than 5.5 cm without rup...

Temporary balloon catheter occlusion for control of haemorrhage following penetrating axillary artery injury (2004)
Journal Article
Mehta, T., Venkata Subramaniam, A., Chetter, I., Nicholson, A., & Wilkinson, A. (2004). Temporary balloon catheter occlusion for control of haemorrhage following penetrating axillary artery injury. European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Extra, 8(2), 29-30. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejvsextra.2004.05.014

Penetrating injuries of the axillary artery are uncommon. Their repair can be difficult in the presence of torrential haemorrhage, which obscures the surgical field. We describe the use of interventional radiology for temporary control of bleeding to...

The value of abdominal examination in the diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (2004)
Journal Article
Venkatasubramaniam, A., Mehta, T., Chetter, I., Bryce, J., Renwick, P., Johnson, B., …McCollum, P. (2004). The value of abdominal examination in the diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysm. European journal of vascular and endovascular surgery : the official journal of the European Society for Vascular Surgery, 27(1), 56-60. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejvs.2003.09.006

Background. There is considerable variability in the reported value of clinical examination in the diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). This study aims to assess accuracy of abdominal examination by a doctor, a nurse and the patient in the...
