Journal Article
Lipscomb, M. (2010). Events and event identity: Under-explored topics in nursing. Nursing Philosophy, 11(2), 88-99. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1466-769X.2010.00435.x

Theoretic interest in the nature of events and event identity is apparent across a wide range of fields. However, this interest has not yet made itself known in nursing. In this paper, it is asserted that nurse theoreticians and researchers should co... Read More about Events and event identity: Under-explored topics in nursing.

Prospective observational measurement of tracheal tube cuff pressures in the emergency department (2010)
Journal Article
Chopra, M., Jones, L., Boulanger, C., Benger, J., Higginson, I., Williamson, D., …Lloyd, G. (2010). Prospective observational measurement of tracheal tube cuff pressures in the emergency department. Emergency Medicine Journal, 27(4), 270-271. https://doi.org/10.1136/emj.2009.075200

Background: Tracheal mucosal blood flow is impaired when tracheal tube cuff pressure is above 30 cm of water, with the potential for tracheal mucosal necrosis. Previous studies have found excessive cuff pressures in simulated patients intubated by No...

Assessment of the effects of the pesticide imidacloprid on the behaviour of the aquatic oligochaete lumbriculus variegatus (2010)
Journal Article
Soares, A. M., & Sardo, A. M. (2010). Assessment of the effects of the pesticide imidacloprid on the behaviour of the aquatic oligochaete lumbriculus variegatus. Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 58(3), 648-656. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00244-010-9470-0

Contaminants, such as pesticides, can cause direct toxic effects when released into aquatic environments. Suitably sensitive species can help us understand and predict the impacts of such pollutants. Automated sediment toxicity testing and biomonitor... Read More about Assessment of the effects of the pesticide imidacloprid on the behaviour of the aquatic oligochaete lumbriculus variegatus.

A single blinded randomised controlled pilot trial of prism adaptation for improving self-care in stroke patients with neglect (2010)
Journal Article

Prism adaptation has been shown to alleviate the symptoms of unilateral spatial neglect following stroke in single case and small group studies. The purposes of this single blinded pilot randomised controlled trial were to determine the feasibility o...

Predicting the outcome of anomia therapy for people with aphasia post CVA: Both language and cognitive status are key predictors (2010)
Journal Article
Lambon Ralph, M. A., Snell, C., Fillingham, J. K., Conroy, P., & Sage, K. (2010).

Neuropsychological Rehabilitation, 20(2), 289-305. https://doi.org/10.1080/09602010903237875

The aim of this study was to determine whether it was possible to predict therapy gain from participants' performance on background tests of language and cognitive ability. To do this, we amalgamated the assessment and therapy results from 33 people...
