Measuring disability in multiple sclerosis: Is the Community Dependency Index an improvement on the Barthel Index? (2004)
Journal Article
Nicholl, L., Hobart, J., Dunwoody, L., Cramp, F., & Lowe-Strong, A. (2004). Measuring disability in multiple sclerosis: Is the Community Dependency Index an improvement on the Barthel Index?. Multiple Sclerosis, 10(4), 447-450. https://doi.org/10.1191/1352458504ms1056oa

The Community Dependency Index (CDI) was developed due to concerns that the Barthel Index (BI) was limited as a measure of physical function in community settings. However no studies have compared the two rating scales within multiple sclerosis (MS)....

Surface dyslexia in semantic dementia: A comparison of the influence of consistency and regularity (2004)
Journal Article
Ralph, M. A., Bateman, D., Jefferies, E., Patterson, K., & Jones, R. (2004). Surface dyslexia in semantic dementia: A comparison of the influence of consistency and regularity. Neurocase, 10(4), 290-299. https://doi.org/10.1080/13554790490507623

This study addressed the question of exactly which aspects of spelling-sound consistency influence accuracy of reading aloud in surface dyslexic patients with semantic dementia. Oral reading data were obtained from twelve patients on three sets of wo... Read More about Surface dyslexia in semantic dementia: A comparison of the influence of consistency and regularity.

Voltammetric behavior of Chlorophyll a at a screen-printed carbon electrode and its potential role as a biomarker for monitoring fecal contamination (2004)
Journal Article
Hart, J. P., Pemberton, R., & Amine, A. (2004). Voltammetric behavior of Chlorophyll a at a screen-printed carbon electrode and its potential role as a biomarker for monitoring fecal contamination. Analytical Letters, 37(8), 1625-1643. https://doi.org/10.1081/AL-120037592

Direct cyclic voltammetric determination of Chlorophyll a (Chl a) at a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) resulted in a single, irreversible anodic oxidation peak at Ep = +400 mV vs. Ag/AgCl. Electrochemical investigations revealed that Chl a was...

International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, 19(7), 624-633. https://doi.org/10.1002/gps.1133

Background. The objective was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of donepezil (5 and 10 mg/day) compared with placebo in alleviating manifestations of mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD). Method. A systematic review of individual patient...
