Description and measurement of visual scanning training in Occupational Therapy for patients with visual search deficits following stroke (2014)
Report

Executive Summary
Background

Visual search is a process which is integral for carrying out most activities of daily living; for example for finding utensils needed in preparing a meal or for avoiding hazards when crossing the road. This essential... Read More about Description and measurement of visual scanning training in Occupational Therapy for patients with visual search deficits following stroke.

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation as an adjunct to education and exercise for knee osteoarthritis: A randomized controlled trial (2014)
Journal Article

Objective To determine the additional effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for knee osteoarthritis (OA) when combined with a group education and exercise program (knee group). Methods The study was a randomized, sham-controll...

A pilot study of the association between tobacco use and mid-term outcomes following total hip replacement (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Introduction: Smoking is an important and modifiable risk factor in many disease processes. The detrimental effects of smoking are numerous and well documented with smokers being at increased risk of respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease and ma...

Background synaptic activity in rat entorhinal cortex shows a progressively greater dominance of inhibition over excitation from deep to superficial layers (2014)
Journal Article

The entorhinal cortex (EC) controls hippocampal input and output, playing major roles in memory and spatial navigation. Different layers of the EC subserve different functions and a number of studies have compared properties of neurones across layers... Read More about Background synaptic activity in rat entorhinal cortex shows a progressively greater dominance of inhibition over excitation from deep to superficial layers.

A randomised trial of the effect of the glycine reuptake inhibitor Org 25935 on cognitive performance in healthy male volunteers (2014)
Journal Article

Objective Cognitive impairment is integral to many neurological illnesses. Specific enhancement of glutamatergic transmission may improve memory and learning. Org 25935 increases the synaptic availability of glycine, an obligate co-agonist with gluta... Read More about A randomised trial of the effect of the glycine reuptake inhibitor Org 25935 on cognitive performance in healthy male volunteers.

Experience in judging intent to harm modulates parahippocampal activity: An fMRI study with experienced CCTV operators (2014)
Journal Article

Does visual experience in judging intent to harm change our brain responses? And if it does, what are the mechanisms affected? We addressed these questions by studying the abilities of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) operators, who must identify the...

Mismatch negativity (MMN) reveals inefficient auditory ventral stream function in chronic auditory comprehension impairments (2014)
Journal Article

Background: Auditory discrimination is significantly impaired in Wernicke's aphasia (WA) and thought to be causatively related to the language comprehension impairment which characterises the condition. This study used mismatch negativity (MMN) to in... Read More about Mismatch negativity (MMN) reveals inefficient auditory ventral stream function in chronic auditory comprehension impairments.

Recommendations, evaluation and validation of a semi-automated, fluorescent-based scoring protocol for micronucleus testing in human cells (2014)
Journal Article

Micronucleus (MN) induction is an established cytogenetic end point for evaluating structural and numerical chromosomal alterations in genotoxicity testing. A semi-automated scoring protocol for the assessment of MN preparations from human cell lines... Read More about Recommendations, evaluation and validation of a semi-automated, fluorescent-based scoring protocol for micronucleus testing in human cells.

Managing Osteoarthritis in Primary Care: Exploring Healthcare Professionals' Views on a Multiple-Joint Intervention Designed to Facilitate Self-Management (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Aim: Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions and a major cause of chronic pain and disability. Self-management of OA through education and exercise are recommended as core treatments....

Fixed bearing lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty-Short to midterm survivorship and knee scores for 101 prostheses (2014)
Journal Article

Background: Isolated unicompartmental knee arthritis is less common laterally than medially. Lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) constitutes only 1% of all knee arthroplasty performed. Use of medial UKA is supported by several published... Read More about Fixed bearing lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty-Short to midterm survivorship and knee scores for 101 prostheses.
