​​Understanding the co-occurrence of alcohol consumption and physical activity in UK adults: A multi-method approach ​ (2024)
Thesis
Akwa, L. G. (2024). ​​Understanding the co-occurrence of alcohol consumption and physical activity in UK adults: A multi-method approach ​. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4910580

Background
Alcohol consumption and physical inactivity are leading risk factors for disease and mortality in adults globally. Despite growing interest in the co-occurrence of health behaviours, there is limited evidence on the co-occurrence of alcoh...

A proof of concept study evaluating the role of emerging ultrasound technologies in the active surveillance of localised prostate cancer (2024)
Thesis
Parker, P. C. A proof of concept study evaluating the role of emerging ultrasound technologies in the active surveillance of localised prostate cancer. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4866373

Background
Although one in eight men will develop some form of prostate cancer (PCa) within their lifetime, not all PCa is of high-risk of progression. In such cases active surveillance (AS) provides an alternative to radical treatment (Hamdy et al....

A mixed methods study of outcomes, experiences, and perceptions of through-knee and above-knee amputation (2022)
Thesis
Crane, H. A mixed methods study of outcomes, experiences, and perceptions of through-knee and above-knee amputation. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4312145

Through-knee amputation (TKA) has several theoretical physical advantages over above-knee amputation (AKA), yet AKA remains the preferred level of amputation by UK vascular surgeons when below-knee amputation (BKA) is not feasible. How clinician’s pe... Read More about A mixed methods study of outcomes, experiences, and perceptions of through-knee and above-knee amputation.

Emerging environmental contaminants and human health : risk assessment of dietary exposure to microplastics (2022)
Thesis
Ntanopoulos, E. Emerging environmental contaminants and human health : risk assessment of dietary exposure to microplastics. (Thesis). Hull York Medical School, the University of Hull and the University of York. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4224197

Microplastics (MPs) are an emerging contaminant ubiquitous in the environment. There is growing concern regarding potential human health effects. A major human exposure route is hypothesised to be the dietary pathway via ingestion of contaminated foo...
