In vitro antimicrobial activity of Cymbopogon flexuosus against Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter baumannii (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Green, N., & Adukwu, E. (2018, June). In vitro antimicrobial activity of Cymbopogon flexuosus against Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter baumannii. Poster presented at ECM Forum Summer Conference 2018, Birmingham, UK

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) are both significant nosocomial pathogens that have become increasingly resistant to conventional antimicrobial therapies. There is a need for alternative therapies to com... Read More about In vitro antimicrobial activity of Cymbopogon flexuosus against Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter baumannii.

Association between number of injections during long-term anti VEGF therapy and retinal electrophysiological parameters (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Hobby, A. E., Huntjens, B., Mahroo, O. A. R., Crabb, D. P., & Binns, A. M. (2018, April). Association between number of injections during long-term anti VEGF therapy and retinal electrophysiological parameters

Purpose : Some studies report a reduction in retinal ganglion cell layer thickness during long-term antiVEGF therapy in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). We explored whether electroretinogram (ERG) parameters, including those deriv...

The application of gene expression profiling in predictions of occult lymph node metastasis in colorectal cancer patients (2018)
Journal Article
Peyravian, N., Larki, P., Gharib, E., Nazemalhosseini-Mojarad, E., Anaraki, F., Young, C., …Zali, M. (2018). The application of gene expression profiling in predictions of occult lymph node metastasis in colorectal cancer patients. Biomedicines, 6(1), 27. https://doi.org/10.3390/biomedicines6010027

A key factor in determining the likely outcome for a patient with colorectal cancer is whether or not the tumour has metastasised to the lymph nodes-information which is also important in assessing any possibilities of lymph node resection so as to i...

GJA4/connexin 37 mutations correlate with secondary lymphedema following surgery in breast cancer patients (2018)
Journal Article
Hadizadeh, M., Mohaddes Ardebili, S., Salehi, M., Young, C., Mokarian, F., McClellan, J., …Bonab, M. A. (2018). GJA4/connexin 37 mutations correlate with secondary lymphedema following surgery in breast cancer patients. Biomedicines, 6(1), 23. https://doi.org/10.3390/biomedicines6010023

Lymphedema is a condition resulting from mutations in various genes essential for lymphatic development and function, which leads to obstruction of the lymphatic system. Secondary lymphedema is a progressive and incurable condition, most often manife...
