Postload glucose spike but not fasting glucose determines prognosis after myocardial infarction in patients without known or newly diagnosed diabetes (2020)
Journal Article
Chattopadhyay, S., George, A., John, J., & Sathyapalan, T. (2021). Postload glucose spike but not fasting glucose determines prognosis after myocardial infarction in patients without known or newly diagnosed diabetes. Journal of Diabetes, 13(3), 191-199. https://doi.org/10.1111/1753-0407.13111

Background: The effect of postload glucose spikes (PGS), the difference between 2 hour post-load plasma glucose (2hPLPG) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG), on post–myocardial infarction (post-MI) prognosis in nondiabetic patients is unexplored. Method... Read More about Postload glucose spike but not fasting glucose determines prognosis after myocardial infarction in patients without known or newly diagnosed diabetes.

Thrombospondin-1 promotes hemostasis through modulation of cAMP signaling in blood platelets (2020)
Journal Article
Aburima, A., Berger, M., Spurgeon, B. E., Webb, B. A., Wraith, K. S., Febbraio, M., Poole, A. W., & Naseem, K. M. (2021). Thrombospondin-1 promotes hemostasis through modulation of cAMP signaling in blood platelets. Blood, 137(5), 678-689. https://doi.org/10.1182/blood.2020005382

Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) is released by platelets upon activation and can increase platelet activation, but its role in hemostasis in vivo is unclear. We show that TSP-1 is a critical mediator of hemostasis that promotes platelet activation by modula...

Wound healing: Cellular mechanisms and pathological outcomes (2020)
Journal Article
Wilkinson, H. N., & Hardman, M. J. (2020). Wound healing: Cellular mechanisms and pathological outcomes. Open Biology, 10(9), Article 200223. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsob.200223

Wound healing is a complex, dynamic process supported by a myriad of cellular events that must be tightly coordinated to efficiently repair damaged tissue. Derangement in wound-linked cellular behaviours, as occurs with diabetes and ageing, can lead... Read More about Wound healing: Cellular mechanisms and pathological outcomes.

Atmospheric particulate matter from an industrial area as a source of metal nanoparticle contamination in aquatic ecosystems (2020)
Journal Article
Souza, I. D. C., Morozesk, M., Mansano, A. S., Mendes, V. A., Azevedo, V. C., Matsumoto, S. T., Elliott, M., Monferrán, M. V., Wunderlin, D. A., & Fernandes, M. N. (2021). Atmospheric particulate matter from an industrial area as a source of metal nanoparticle contamination in aquatic ecosystems. Science of the Total Environment, 753, Article 141976. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.141976

Air pollution legislation and control worldwide is based on the size of particulate matter (PM) to evaluate the effects on environmental and human health, in which the small diameter particles are considered more dangerous than larger sizes. This stu... Read More about Atmospheric particulate matter from an industrial area as a source of metal nanoparticle contamination in aquatic ecosystems.

Obesity and Insulin Resistance: A Review of Molecular Interactions (2020)
Journal Article
Yaribeygi, H., Maleki, M., Sathyapalan, T., Jamialahmadi, T., & Sahebkar, A. (2022). Obesity and Insulin Resistance: A Review of Molecular Interactions. Current Molecular Medicine, 21(3), 182-193. https://doi.org/10.2174/1566524020666200812221527

The prevalence of insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus is rising globally in epidemic proportions. Diabetes and its complications contribute to significant morbidity and mortality. An increase in sedentary lifestyle and consumption of a more ener... Read More about Obesity and Insulin Resistance: A Review of Molecular Interactions.

Implementation of geriatric assessment in oncology settings: A systematic realist review (2020)
Journal Article
McKenzie, G. A., Bullock, A. F., Greenley, S. L., Lind, M. J., Johnson, M. J., & Pearson, M. (2021). Implementation of geriatric assessment in oncology settings: A systematic realist review. Journal of Geriatric Oncology, 12(1), 22-33. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jgo.2020.07.003

Older adults with cancer are more likely to have worse clinical outcomes than their younger counterparts, and shared decision-making can be difficult, due to both complexity from adverse ageing and under-representation in clinical trials. Geriatric a... Read More about Implementation of geriatric assessment in oncology settings: A systematic realist review.

Current insights into exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation in patients with coronary heart disease and chronic heart failure (2020)

Understanding ethnic variations in HIV prevalence in Kenya: the role of cultural practices (2020)
Journal Article
Magadi, M., Gazimbi, M., Wafula, C., & Kaseje, M. (2021). Understanding ethnic variations in HIV prevalence in Kenya: the role of cultural practices. Culture, health & sexuality, 23(6), 822-839. https://doi.org/10.1080/13691058.2020.1734661

Patterns of HIV prevalence in Kenya suggest that areas where various cultural practices are prevalent bear a disproportionate burden of HIV. This paper examines (i) the contextual effects of cultural practices (polygyny, male circumcision) and relate...
