Storage of MPs in Channel sediments (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This work aims to understand where microplastics (MPs) are stored within rivers. MPs are becoming prevalent in the news as studies are finding up to 14 million-tonnes of MPs on the ocean floor (Barrett et al., 2020). This is an issue as rivers drain...

Investigating the role of perceived ingroup and outgroup colourism on body image and wellbeing among Black, Asian, and other racialised/ethnic minority groups living in the UK (2023)
Journal Article

Colourism is a form of prejudice and discrimination based on skin shade, disadvantaging people of colour with darker skin. This study investigates the relationship between perceived colourism, body image, and psychological wellbeing, considering perc...

Oncological outcomes after transanal total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer (2023)
Journal Article

Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) was developed to overcome the technical difficulties of a transabdominal minimal-access approach to resection of low rectal cancer1–4. TaTME was reported to be feasible and effective, with the potential adv... Read More about Oncological outcomes after transanal total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer.

Early intravenous Beta-Blockade with esmolol in adults with severe Traumatic Brain Injury (EBB-TBI): A phase 2a intervention design study (2023)
Journal Article

Background
Targeted beta-blockade after severe traumatic brain injury may reduce secondary brain injury by attenuating the sympathoadrenal response. The potential role and optimal dose for esmolol, a selective, short-acting, titratable beta-1 beta...
