Non-medical colonoscopy (2006)
Journal Article
Maslekar, S. K., Gardiner, A., Hughes, M., & Duthie, G. S. (2006). Non-medical colonoscopy. Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 63(5), AB114. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gie.2006.03.148

Aims: There is increasing demand for colonoscopy especially with introduction of screening programmes. Though colonoscopy is performed by doctors and nurses, there is an acute shortage of trained colonoscopists

Sacral nerve neuromodulation as primary treatment for faecal incontinence with disrupted anal sphincters: medium and long-term results (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gardiner, A., Maslekar, S., & Duthie, G. (2006). Sacral nerve neuromodulation as primary treatment for faecal incontinence with disrupted anal sphincters: medium and long-term results. Gastroenterology, 130(4), A728 - A728

Introduction The standard treatment for faecal incontinence secondary to obstetric sphincterdamage is anal sphincter repair. However, the results of this procedure deteriorate withtime. Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) has become an established therapy...

Concordant genetic estimators of migration reveal anthropogenically enhanced source-sink population structure in the River Sculpin, Cottus gobio (2006)
Journal Article
Hänfling, B., & Weetman, D. (2006). Concordant genetic estimators of migration reveal anthropogenically enhanced source-sink population structure in the River Sculpin, Cottus gobio. Genetics, 173(3), 1487-1501. https://doi.org/10.1534/genetics.105.054296

River systems are vulnerable to natural and anthropogenic habitat fragmentation and will often harbor populations deviating markedly from simplified theoretical models. We investigated fine-scale population structure in the sedentary river fish Cottu...

Non-medical colonoscopists are safe and effective: results from randomised controlled trial (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gardiner, A., Skinn, E., Maslekar, S., & Duthie, G. Non-medical colonoscopists are safe and effective: results from randomised controlled trial

Introduction: There is an increasing demand for colonoscopy, especially with introduction of screening programmes. Though it is performed by doctors and nurses, there is an acute shortage of trained colonoscopists. Non-medical personnel were therefor...

Can artificial neural networks predict which patients need a colonoscopy? (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gardiner, A., Maslekar, S., & Duthie, G. (2006). Can artificial neural networks predict which patients need a colonoscopy?. Gut : journal of the British Society of Gastroenterology, 55, A23 - A23

Introduction: Artificial neural networks (ANN) are computer programs used to identify complex relations within data sets undetectable with conventional linear statistical analysis. One such complex problem is the prediction of need for lower gastroin... Read More about Can artificial neural networks predict which patients need a colonoscopy?.

Predation risk as a driving force for sexual segregation: A cross-population comparison (2006)
Journal Article
Croft, D., Morrell, L. J., Wade, A. S., Piyapong, C., Ioannou, C. C., Dyer, J. R. G., Chapman, B. B., Wong, Y., & Krause, J. (2006). Predation risk as a driving force for sexual segregation: A cross-population comparison. The American naturalist, 167(6), 867-878. https://doi.org/10.1086/504853

Sexual segregation is widespread throughout the animal kingdom. Although a number of hypotheses have been proposed to account for observed patterns, the generality of the mechanisms remains debated. One possible reason for this is the focus on segreg... Read More about Predation risk as a driving force for sexual segregation: A cross-population comparison.

Systematic review of factors influencing patient and practitioner delay in diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal cancer (2006)
Journal Article
Macdonald, S., Macleod, U., Campbell, N. C., Weller, D., & Mitchell, E. (2006). Systematic review of factors influencing patient and practitioner delay in diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal cancer. The British Journal of Cancer, 94(9), 1272-1280. https://doi.org/10.1038/sj.bjc.6603089

As knowledge on the causation of cancers advances and new treatments are developed, early recognition and accurate diagnosis becomes increasingly important. This review focused on identifying factors influencing patient and primary care practitioner...

Regional differences in multidimensional aspects of health: Findings from the MRC cognitive function and ageing study (2006)
Journal Article
Matthews, F. E., Miller, L. L., Brayne, C., & Jagger, C. (2006). Regional differences in multidimensional aspects of health: Findings from the MRC cognitive function and ageing study. BMC public health, 6, https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2458-6-90

Background: Differences in mortality and health experience across regions are well recognised and UK government policy aims to address this inequality. Methods combining life expectancy and health have concentrated on specific areas, such as self-per...
