Patients’ views on care and their association with outcomes in palliative care (2019)
Journal Article
Pinto, C., Firth, A. M., Groeneveld, E. I., Guo, P., Sykes, N., & Murtagh, F. E. (2019). Patients’ views on care and their association with outcomes in palliative care. Palliative medicine, 33(4), 467-469. https://doi.org/10.1177/0269216319831383

When patients face advanced illness, their experience of care is especially important. In palliative care, we often rely on the accounts of bereaved relatives to report the quality of end-of-life care, and there are no validated patient-reported meas...

Textural analysis demonstrates heterogeneous [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in radiologically normal lung in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (2018)
Journal Article
Aliyu, S. A., Avery, G., Cawthorne, C., Archibald, S. J., Kadir, T., Willaime, J. M., …Crooks, M. G. (2018). Textural analysis demonstrates heterogeneous [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in radiologically normal lung in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. European respiratory journal, 52(5), 1801138. https://doi.org/10.1183/13993003.01138-2018

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanning in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has revealed increased [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]-FDG) uptake in areas of the lungs that appear normal on high resolution computed tomography (HRCT). We hypothesi... Read More about Textural analysis demonstrates heterogeneous [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in radiologically normal lung in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

The role of miniaturization in the evolution of the mammalian jaw and middle ear (2018)
Journal Article
Lautenschlager, S., Gill, P. G., Luo, Z. X., Fagan, M. J., & Rayfield, E. J. (2018). The role of miniaturization in the evolution of the mammalian jaw and middle ear. Nature, 561(7724), 533-537. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-018-0521-4

The evolution of the mammalian jaw is one of the most important innovations in vertebrate history, and underpins the exceptional radiation and diversification of mammals over the last 220 million years. In particular, the transformation of the mandi... Read More about The role of miniaturization in the evolution of the mammalian jaw and middle ear.

Correlates of rate heterogeneity in avian ecomorphological traits (2018)
Journal Article
Chira, A. M., Cooney, C. R., Bright, J. A., Capp, E. J. R., Hughes, E. C., Moody, C. J. A., …Thomas, G. H. (2018). Correlates of rate heterogeneity in avian ecomorphological traits. Ecology letters, 21(10), 1505-1514. https://doi.org/10.1111/ele.13131

Heterogeneity in rates of trait evolution is widespread, but it remains unclear which processes drive fast and slow character divergence across global radiations. Here, we test multiple hypotheses for explaining rate variation in an ecomorphological... Read More about Correlates of rate heterogeneity in avian ecomorphological traits.

CAMERA - complete assessment of elderly patients with cancer: A non-randomised feasibility study (2018)
Journal Article
Jackson, G., Gabe, R., Johnson, M., Date, K., Harman, D., Maraveyas, A., …Lind, M. J. (2019). CAMERA - complete assessment of elderly patients with cancer: A non-randomised feasibility study. Journal of Geriatric Oncology, 10(1), 175-177. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jgo.2018.07.005

One of the primary risk factors in the development of cancer is older age. The demographic shift to an ageing population has given rise to an increased number of older patients with cancer. The extreme heterogeneity within this population renders app... Read More about CAMERA - complete assessment of elderly patients with cancer: A non-randomised feasibility study.

Tuning selective reflection of light by surface anchoring in cholesteric cells with oblique helicoidal structures (2018)
Journal Article
Iadlovska, O. S., Maxwell, G. R., Babakhanova, G., Mehl, G. H., Welch, C., Shiyanovskii, S. V., & Lavrentovich, O. D. (2018). Tuning selective reflection of light by surface anchoring in cholesteric cells with oblique helicoidal structures. Optics letters, 43(8), 1850-1853. https://doi.org/10.1364/ol.43.001850

Selective reflection of light by oblique helicoidal cholesteric (ChOH) can be tuned in a very broad spectral range by an applied electric field. In this work, we demonstrate that the peak wavelength of the selective reflection can be controlled by su...
