Electrical stimulation vs. standard care for chronic ulcer healing: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (2014)
Journal Article
Barnes, R., Shahin, Y., Gohil, R., & Chetter, I. (2014). Electrical stimulation vs. standard care for chronic ulcer healing: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials. European Journal of Clinical Investigation, 44(4), 429-440. https://doi.org/10.1111/eci.12244

Background We conducted a systematic review to investigate the effect of electrical stimulation on ulcer healing compared to usual treatment and/or sham stimulation. This systematic review also aimed to investigate the effect of different types of...

Randomized clinical trial of selective versus routine preoperative duplex ultrasound imaging before arteriovenous fistula surgery: Duplex imaging before arteriovenous fistula surgery (2014)
Journal Article
Barnes, R., Chetter, I. C., & Smith, G. E. (2014). Randomized clinical trial of selective versus routine preoperative duplex ultrasound imaging before arteriovenous fistula surgery: Duplex imaging before arteriovenous fistula surgery. British journal of surgery, 101(5), 469-474. https://doi.org/10.1002/bjs.9435

BackgroundAnatomical suitability for arteriovenous fistula (AVF) formation was formerly determined by clinical examination alone. There are potential benefits from imaging to assess anatomical suitability. Existing studies examined the role of routin...

Effect of supervised exercise on physical function and balance in patients with intermittent claudication (2014)
Journal Article
Mockford, K. A., Gohil, R. A., Mazari, F., Khan, J. A., Vanicek, N., Coughlin, P. A., & Chetter, I. C. (2014). Effect of supervised exercise on physical function and balance in patients with intermittent claudication. British journal of surgery, 101(4), 356-362. https://doi.org/10.1002/bjs.9402

Background The aim of the study was to identify whether a standard supervised exercise programme (SEP) for patients with intermittent claudication improved specific measures of functional performance including balance. Methods A prospective observati... Read More about Effect of supervised exercise on physical function and balance in patients with intermittent claudication.

Fear of falling in claudicants and its relationship to physical ability, balance, and quality of Life (2014)
Journal Article
Lane, R. A., Mazari, F., Mockford, K. A., Vanicek, N., Chetter, I. C., & Coughlin, P. A. (2014). Fear of falling in claudicants and its relationship to physical ability, balance, and quality of Life. Vascular and endovascular surgery, 48(4), 297-304. https://doi.org/10.1177/1538574413519711

Objectives: Intermittent claudication is associated with poor physical function, quality of life (QoL), and balance impairment. Fear of falling (FoF) is a recognized contributing factor to poor physical ability. Any link between claudication and FoF...

The effect of deep hypothermia on the human pulmonary circulation (2014)
Journal Article
Ariyaratnam, P., Loubani, M., Cale, A. R., Chaudhry, M., Cowen, M. E., Jarvis, M. A., …Morice, A. H. (2014). The effect of deep hypothermia on the human pulmonary circulation. Journal of Thermal Biology, 40(1), 20-24. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtherbio.2014.01.001

Objective: Acute rises in pulmonary artery pressures following complex cardiac surgery are associated with high morbidity and mortality. We hypothesised that periods of deep hypothermia predispose to elevated pulmonary pressures upon rewarming. We in...

Increased platelet binding to circulating monocytes in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. (2014)
Journal Article
Fahim, A., Crooks, M. G., Morice, A. H., & Hart, S. P. (2014). Increased platelet binding to circulating monocytes in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Lung, 192(2), 277-284. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00408-013-9546-5

Purpose Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common idiopathic interstitial pneumonia and its prognosis is poor. Epidemiological evidence suggests an association of IPF with vascular disease and thrombotic tendency, which may be related to...

Characterization of physical properties of tissue factor-containing microvesicles and a comparison of ultracentrifuge-based recovery procedures (2014)
Journal Article
Ettelaie, C., Collier, M., Maraveyas, A., & Ettelaie, R. (2014). Characterization of physical properties of tissue factor-containing microvesicles and a comparison of ultracentrifuge-based recovery procedures. Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 3(1), 1-14. https://doi.org/10.3402/jev.v3.23592

© 2014 Camille Ettelaie et al. Microvesicles were isolated from the conditioned media of 3 cell lines (MDA-MB-231, AsPC-1 and A375) by ultracentrifugation at a range of relative centrifugal forces, and the tissue factor (TF) protein and activity, mic...
