The extent and characteristics of United Kingdom hospital pharmacists keeping, or not keeping, a professional development portfolio
(2009)
The aim of this study was to examine the use of continuing professional development (CPD) portfolios by hospital pharmacists. The objectives were to assess the extent to which pharmacists use portfolios in CPD and to examine ...
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 ...
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, ...
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.
Proteomic biomarkers of peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from postmenopausal women undergoing an intervention with soy isoflavones
(2007-11)
The incidence of cardiovascular diseases increases after menopause, and soy consumption is suggested to inhibit disease development.
Multivariate analysis of the Fugl-Meyer outcome measures assessing the effectiveness of GENTLE/S robot-mediated stroke therapy
(2007)
Robot-mediated therapies offer entirely new approaches to neurorehabilitation. In this paper we present the results obtained from trialling the GENTLE/S neurorehabilitation system assessed using the upper limb section of ...
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 ...
Evidence for associations between common polymorphisms of estrogen receptor beta gene with homocysteine and nitric oxide
(2006-06)
Homocysteine and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) affect nitric oxide (NO) concentration, thereby contributing to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Both amino acids can be reduced in vivo by estrogen. Variation in the estrogen ...
Soy-isoflavone-enriched foods and markers of lipid and glucose metabolism in postmenopausal women : interactions with genotype and equol production
(2006-03)
The hypocholesterolemic effects of soy foods are well established, and it has been suggested that isoflavones are responsible for this effect. However, beneficial effects of isolated isoflavones on lipid biomarkers of ...
