Preferred exercise modalities in patients with intermittent claudication (2018)
Journal Article
Harwood, A., Hitchman, L. H., Ingle, L., Doherty, P., & Chetter, I. C. (2018). Preferred exercise modalities in patients with intermittent claudication. Journal of Vascular Nursing, 36(2), 81-84. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvn.2017.12.002

Conventional supervised exercise programs (SEPs) for claudicants are traditionally based on time-constrained, group-based structured programs usually at a hospital site. Uptake of an SEP is poor, despite the high-level evidence demonstrating its clin... Read More about Preferred exercise modalities in patients with intermittent claudication.

A Microdose PET Study of the Safety, Immunogenicity, Biodistribution, and Radiation Dosimetry of 18F-FBA20FMDV2 for Imaging the Integrin αvβ6 (2018)
Journal Article
Keat, N., Kenny, J., Chen, K., Onega, M., Garman, N., Slack, R. J., …Lukey, P. T. (2018). A Microdose PET Study of the Safety, Immunogenicity, Biodistribution, and Radiation Dosimetry of 18F-FBA20FMDV2 for Imaging the Integrin αvβ6. Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology, 46(2), 136-143. https://doi.org/10.2967/jnmt.117.203547

The αvβ6 integrin is involved in the pathogenesis of cancer and fibrosis. A radiolabeled 20-amino-acid αvβ6-binding peptide, derived from the foot and mouth virus (NAVPNLRGDLQVLAQKVART [A20FMDV2]), has been developed to image αvβ6 levels preclinicall...
