Prospective blinded comparison of surface versus wire electromyographic analysis of muscle recruitment in shoulder instability
(2009)
This pilot study assesses level of agreement between surface and fine-wire electromyography (EMG), in order to establish if surface is as reliable as fine wire in the diagnosis and treatment of abnormal muscle patterning ...
Revascularization versus medical therapy for renal-artery stenosis
(2009)
Atherosclerotic renovascular disease is a common condition with a rate of death of about 16% per year, largely from associated cardiovascular disease.1-3 Stenosis of the renal artery is associated with both hypertension ...
The extent and characteristics of United Kingdom hospital pharmacists keeping, or not keeping, a professional development portfolio

Superior discrimination of speech pitch and its relationship to verbal ability in autism spectrum disorders
(2008-09)
Whilst hypersensitivity to pitch information appears to be characteristic of many individuals with autism spectrum disorders little is known about the implications of such a tendency for language acquisition and development. ...
Colorectal tumor vascularity: quantitative assessment with multidetector CT--do tumor perfusion measurements reflect angiogenesis?
(2008)
To establish the relationships between quantitative perfusion computed tomography (CT) parameters-specifically, primary tumor blood flow, blood volume, transit time, and permeability surface-area product-and immunohistologic ...
Biomechanics of ankle instability. Part 2 : Postural sway-reaction time relationship
(2008)
Purpose: To test the hypothesis that ankles with functional instability will demonstrate greater single-limb postural sway (PS) than their contralateral stable joint and stable healthy controls and to examine the relationship ...
Quantitative assessment of colorectal cancer tumor vascular parameters by using perfusion CT: influence of tumor region of interest
(2008)
To prospectively determine whether position and size of tumor region of interest (ROI) influence estimates of colorectal cancer vascular parameters at computed tomography (CT).
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 ...
