Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with etanercept with reference to disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs : long-term safety and survival using prospective, observational data
(2014-01)
The objective of this study was to examine the long-term safety of etanercept (ETN) in comparison with conventional DMARDs in a large observational cohort of RA patients in the UK.
Trajectories of functional limitation in early rheumatoid arthritis and their association with mortality
(2013-11)
This study aimed to identify subgroups with distinct trajectories of functional (HAQ) progression over 10 years following diagnosis of RA and identify baseline characteristics associated with the trajectories and their ...
Energy metabolism, body composition, and urea generation rate in hemodialysis patients
(2013-10-01)
Hemodialysis (HD) adequacy is currently assessed using normalized urea clearance (Kt/V), although scaling based on Watson volume (V) may disadvantage women and men with low body weight. Alternative scaling factors such as ...
Influence of surface on impact shock experienced during a fencing lunge
(2013-08)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of sports surface on the magnitude of impact shock experienced during a lunge movement. Thirteen experienced, competitive fencers (age 32.4 ± 4.6 years; height 178.4 ...
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. ...
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 ...
Kinematic determinants of weapon velocity during the fencing lunge in experienced épée fencers
(2013)
The lunge is the most common attack in fencing, however there is currently a paucity of published research investigating the kinematics of this movement. The aim of this study was to investigate if kinematics measured ...
In vivo decontamination of the nerve agent VX using the domestic swine model
(2012-11)
The purpose of this in vivo study was to assess a new, putatively optimised method for mass casualty decontamination ("ORCHIDS protocol") for effectiveness in removing the chemical warfare agent VX from the skin of ...
