Incretin-modulated beta cell energetics in intact islets of Langerhans
(2014-06-01)
Incretins such as glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) are released from the gut and potentiate insulin release in a glucose-dependent manner. Although this action is generally believed to hinge on cAMP and protein kinase A ...
The impact of postgraduate training on UK optometrists' clinical decision-making in glaucoma
(2014-05-31)
PURPOSE: To investigate the impact of a postgraduate training module on optometrists' clinical decision-making in relation to the diagnosis and management of primary open-angle glaucoma. METHODS: A group of United Kingdom ...
The placebo and nocebo effects on peak minute power during incremental arm crank ergometry
(2014-05-19)
This investigation aimed to explore the effects of inert sugar-free drinks described as either 'performance enhancing' (placebo) or 'fatigue inducing' (nocebo) on peak minute power (PMP;W) during incremental arm crank ...
The influence of different force and pressure measuring transducers on lower extremity kinematics measured during running
(2014-02-01)
In running analyses where both kinetic and kinematic information is recorded, participants are required to make foot contact with a force and/or pressure measuring transducer. Problems arise if participants modify their ...
Movement speed is biased by prior experience
(2014-01-01)
How does the motor system choose the speed for any given movement? Many current models assume a process that finds the optimal balance between the costs of moving fast and the rewards of achieving the goal. Here, we show ...
The effect of different durations of carbohydrate mouth rinse on cycling performance
(2014)
Carbohydrate (CHO) mouth rinse has been shown to improve time trial performance. Although the exact mechanism remains un-established, research postulates that there are oral cavity receptors which increase neural drive. ...
Baseline factors predicting change from the initial DMARD treatment during the first 2 years of rheumatoid arthritis : experience in the ERAN inception cohort
(2013-05)
Outcomes in early Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) may be improved by rapidly establishing a stable and effective disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) treatment regimen. We aimed to investigate whether baseline factors ...
Determination of gait events using an externally mounted shank accelerometer
(2013-02-01)
Biomechanical analysis requires the determination of specific foot contact events. This is typically achieved using force platform information; however, when force platforms are unavailable, alternative methods are necessary. ...
Can simvastatin improve erectile function and health-related quality of life in men aged ≥40 years with erectile dysfunction? : Results of the Erectile Dysfunction and Statins Trial [ISRCTN66772971]
(2013-01-29)
To evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of simvastatin on erectile function and health-related quality of life in men aged ≥40 years with erectile dysfunction (ED).
The effect of caffeine ingestion on skill maintenance and fatigue in epee fencers
(2013)
The ergogenic effect of caffeine on sports performance focuses predominantly on endurance sports (Doherty & Smith, 2004 ) with little research on intermittent high intensity sports. This study aimed to explore the effect ...
