The genetic and biochemical mechanisms underlying cereal seed dormancy (2023)
Journal Article

The crop seeds have been a staple food for humans, and seed yield is important for sustaining agriculture development and enhancing human adaptability to food risks. The phenomenon of pre-harvest sprouting (PHS), caused by seed dormancy deficiency, a... Read More about The genetic and biochemical mechanisms underlying cereal seed dormancy.

Evaluation of bioelectrical impedance analysis in measuring body fat in 6-to-12-year-old boys compared to air displacement plethysmography (2022)
Journal Article

Air displacement plethysmography (ADP) has been considered the 'standard' method to determine body fat in children due to superior validity and reliability compared to bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). However, ADP and BIA are used interchangea...

Dual wavelength retinal vessel oximetry – influence of fundus pigmentation (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Clinical methods examining oxygenation parameters in humans have been used in many different care settings, but concerns have been raised regarding their clinical utility when assessing people with darker skin pigmentation. While saturati... Read More about Dual wavelength retinal vessel oximetry – influence of fundus pigmentation.

Factors influencing conveyance of older adults with minor head injury by paramedics to the emergency department: A multiple methods study (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Head injury (HI) in older adults due to low-energy falls result in a substantial number of emergency department (ED) attendances. However, mortality associated with minor HI is very low. Reducing conveyance to hospital is important for ol...
