The use of complementary and alternative therapies in health care: a selective review of the literature and discussion of the implications for nurse practitioners and health-care managers
(1994)
Much has been written concerning the use of complementary and alternative therapies in health care. It is the author's belief that much of the current debate exists within a context of little knowledge of the research ...
The effect of non-protein liquid meals on the hepatic venous pressure gradient in patients with cirrhosis
(1990)
It has been suggested that protein feeding increases portal pressure in cirrhotic patients, but that carbohydrate and fat have little effect. We examined the relationship between feeding and portal pressure, using different ...
From educational philosophy to educational practice: fidelity and the curriculum in context
(1990)
As part of a higher degree on research methods, exploratory work was undertaken concerning educational philosophy and educational practice using an ethnographic approach. This author discusses, using this exploratory work, ...
Teacher behaviour: a determinant of student self esteem
(1989)
This small scale piece of research was undertaken to establish whether there existed a relationship between teacher behaviour and the reported self esteem inventories of four students. Using a low inference category system ...
Explorations of a crisis intervention service
(1987)

Validation of a computer based system for assessing dietary intake
(1987)
Dietary intake was assessed in 50 patients in hospital by using a dietary history method and computer based system for data collection and standard food tables to calculate the composition of nutrients. The results were ...
Coupling of photoactivatable glycolipid probes to apolipoproteins A-I and A-II in human high density lipoproteins 2 and 3
(1985-08)
High density lipoprotein (HDL) from human serum was subfractionated into HDL2 and HDL3 by rate-zonal density gradient ultracentrifugation. The orientation of apoproteins (apo) A-I and A-II in these subfractions was ...
The effect of guar gum on carbohydrate-, fat- and protein-stimulated gut hormone secretion: modification of postprandial gastric inhibitory polypeptide and gastrin responses
(1985)
The effect of incorporating guar gum into predominantly single-component meals of carbohydrate, fat or protein on liquid gastric emptying and on the secretion of gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), gastrin and motilin, ...

A series of studies on the 'personal styles' of clients and therapists is reviewed, and their findings are drawn together within the framework of personal construct theory. It is argued that the technical eclecticism of ...
Identification of membrane proteins of human blood platelets with a hydrophobic photolabel
(1984-12-05)
A photoactivable glycolipid probe, 12-(4-azido-2-nitrophenoxy)stearoyl[1-14C]glucosamine, was used to label proteins and lipids of platelet membranes. The proteins were analyzed by two-dimensional high-resolution ...
