Positional relationship between leg rotation and lumbar spine during quiet standing
(IOS Press, 2008)
Healthcare professionals frequently evaluate spinal posture on visual assessment during the clinical examination. While this visual assessment of the spine has been shown to be unreliable, the use of a plumbline as to aid ...
Cannabinoid receptor CB2 localisation and agonist-mediated inhibition of capsaicin responses in human sensory neurons
(2008)
Cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) agonists provide the potential for treating chronic pain states without CNS effects associated with CB1 receptor activation. Animal models suggest that they act mainly via non-neuronal cells, ...
Biomechanics of ankle instability Part 1 : Reaction time to simulated ankle sprain
(2008)
Purpose: To test the hypothesis that ankles with functional instability will demonstrate slower muscular reaction times than their contralateral stable ankle (SA) and stable healthy controls to a simulated nonpathological ...
Electronic prescribing reduced prescribing errors in a pediatric renal outpatient clinic
(2008)
To assess the effect of an electronic prescribing (EP) system on the incidence and type of prescribing errors and the number of error-free visits.
Anger, disgust, and presumption of harm as reactions to taboo-breaking behaviors
(2007-11)
Three experiments investigated the relationship between the presumption of harm in harmfree violations of creatural norms (taboos) and the moral emotions of anger and disgust. In Experiment 1, participants made a presumption ...
A randomized controlled trial of family therapy and cognitive behavior therapy guided self-care for adolescents with bulimia nervosa and related disorders
(2007)
To date no trial has focused on the treatment of adolescents with bulimia nervosa. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of family therapy and cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) guided ...
Effect of a collaborative approach on the quality of prescribing for geriatric inpatients: a randomized, controlled trial
(2007)
To evaluate the effect of pharmaceutical care provided in addition to acute Geriatric Evaluation and Management (GEM) care on the appropriateness of prescribing.
Student research projects: the experiences of student dietitians, university faculty members, and collaborators
(2007)
Two universities in the United Kingdom made systematic attempts to increase the number of student dietitians' research projects that are supervised by university faculty members in conjunction with external collaborators ...
Localized and non-contact mechanical stimulation of dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons using scanning ion conductance microscopy
(2007)
Mechanosensitive ion channels convert external mechanical force into electrical and chemical signals in cells, but their physiological function in different tissues is not clearly understood. One reason for this is that ...
An investigation into the in vivo performance variability of pH responsive polymers for ileo-colonic drug delivery using gamma scintigraphy in humans
(2006-12)
Gastrointestinal performance of tablets coated with pH responsive acrylic polymers (Eudragit) was investigated in human volunteers. Tablet cores were coated with Eudragit S dissolved in ethanol (organic), Eudragit S aqueous ...
