Antenatal testing and the subsequent birth of a child with Down syndrome : a phenomenological study of parents' experiences
(2010)The objective was to gain a deeper insight into the lived experiences of parents during antenatal testing for Down syndrome and the subsequent birth of their baby. A phenomenological research inquiry used unstructured ... -
Support and information about Down's syndrome
(2010)UK policies emphasize the importance of providing balanced and accurate information on Down's syndrome to pregnant women and supporting them to make informed choices about screening, diagnostic tests and, ultimately, whether ... -
Point-of-care tetanus immunoassay : an audit of unscheduled tetanus prophylaxis
(2012)Tetanus is a life threatening non-communicable infection caused by the anaerobic bacillus tetanus clostridium which enters the body through a wound. The World Health Organisation (2006) aim to eradicate tetanus incidence ... -
Religion in trauma care : Grand narratives and sacred rituals
(2010-07-01)This article outlines major religious practices observed in the UK and discusses how associated spiritual and religious custom and rites should be honoured by emergency practitioners. The article does not intend to be an ... -
Emergency nurse initiation of discussion about tissue donation with suddenly bereaved relatives
(2008)This service evaluation assesses the frequency of emergency nurse initiation of discussion about tissue donation with suddenly bereaved relatives. Data was retrieved from one accident and emergency department (A&E) in the ... -
The Scope of Radiographic Practice 2008 : A research report compiled by the University of Hertfordshire in collaboration with the Institute for Employment Studies
(University of Hertfordshire, 2009)This report was commissioned by the Society and College of Radiographers (SCoR) at the end of 2007 to identify the current scope of practice for the radiographic workforce across the spectrum of clinical imaging and ... -
Towards social inclusion through lifelong learning in mental health : Analysis of change in the lives of the emilia project service users
(2011-05-01)Background: The application of formal lifelong learning to enhance social inclusion in mental health is rarely investigated in terms of change in the lives of service users on a cross-country comparative scale. Aims: This ... -
Multiparameter Quantum Stochastic Processes
(World Scientific Publishing, 2011-01)We extend the non-commutative constructions outlined in Ref.1–3 to the general n parameter case, these being integrals over an n - dimensional parameter space, employing martingales as integrand. We extend previous results ... -
Multidimensional Quantum Stochastic Integrals
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2011-01-01)Quantum stochastic analogues (ℋ,script A,{script A} ,m,ℝ), of a classical stochastic base may be formed whereby a classical sample space Ω is replaced by a Hilbert Space ℋ, σ-field ℱ is replaced by a von Neumann algebra ... -
Quasi-Free Stochastic Integrals and Martingale Representation
(World Scientific Publishing, 2008-11)We discuss the construction of quantum stochastic integrals over the positive plane. Non-commutative representations for the quasi-free CAR and CCR settings are presented extending results obtained previously for martingales ... -
Quantum stochastic processes
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2009)We consider quantum analogues of n-parameter stochastic processes, associated integrals and martingale properties extending classical results obtained in [1, 2, 3], and quantum results in [4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]. -
Repression of SHP-1 expression by p53 leads to trkA tyrosine phosphorylation and suppression of breast cancer cell proliferation.
(2009-10-29)The nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor, trkA, the tumour suppressor p53 and the phosphatase SHP-1 are critical in cell proliferation and differentiation. SHP-1 is a trkA phosphatase that dephosphorylates trkA at tyrosines ... -
Epidermal growth factor upregulates motility of Mat-LyLu rat prostate cancer cells partially via voltage-gated Na+ channel activity.
(2008-04)The main aim of this investigation was to determine whether a functional relationship existed between epidermal growth factor (EGF) and voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) upregulation, both associated with strongly ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Bioharness (TM) multivariable monitoring device Part I : Validity
(2012-09)The BioharnessTM monitoring system may provide physiological information on human performance but there is limited information on its validity. The objective of this study was to assess the validity of all 5 BioharnessTM ... -
Bioharness (TM) multivariable monitoring device - Part II : Reliability
(2012-09)The BioharnessTM monitoring system may provide physiological information on human performance but the reliability of this data is fundamental for confidence in the equipment being used. The objective of this study was to ... -
A preliminary analysis of team performance in English first-class Twenty-Twenty (T20) cricket
(2012-04)T20 cricket is becoming the most popular and financially valuable form of the game, yet information related to the performances of winning teams is limited. This preliminary study investigated batting and bowling performance ... -
The effect of a heart failure training intervention assessed via clinical simulation
(2011)Prehospital differential diagnosis of heart failure (HF) by paramedics is sometimes unreliable (Schaider et al, 1995) and may lead to therapeutic interventions being withheld (Jenkinson et al, 2008) or the initiation of ... -
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 ...
