‘We tend to get pad happy’: A qualitative study of health practitioners’ perspectives on the quality of continence care for older people in hospital (2021)
Journal Article

Bladder and bowel control difficulties affect 20% and 10% of the UK population, respectively, touch all age groups and are particularly prevalent in the older (65+ years) population. However, the quality of continence care is often poor, compromising...

5-aminosalicylic acid inhibits stem cell function in human adenoma derived cells: Implications for chemoprophylaxis in colorectal tumorigenesis (2021)
Journal Article

Background: Most colorectal cancers (CRC) arise sporadically from precursor lesions: colonic polyps. Polyp resection prevents progression to CRC. Risk of future polyps is proportional to the number and size of polyps detected at screening, allowing i...

Leaf arginine spraying improves leaf gas exchange under water deficit and root antioxidant responses during the recovery period (2021)
Journal Article

© 2021 Elsevier Masson SAS Arginine (Arg) metabolism is associated with many cellular and developmental processes in plants and proline, nitric oxide (NO) and polyamines (PAs) have a wide range of physiological functions in plants, including increase...

Alternative mobile phase additives for the characterization of protein biopharmaceuticals in liquid chromatography – Mass spectrometry (2021)
Journal Article

When analyzing large complex protein biopharmaceuticals, ion-pairing agents imparting low pH are widely used as mobile phase additives to improve the chromatographic performance. However, one of the most effective additives in RPLC and HILIC, trifluo...

Peaks in bat activity at turbines and the implications for mitigating the impact of wind energy developments on bats (2021)
Journal Article

Wind turbines are a relatively new threat to bats, causing mortalities worldwide. Reducing these fatalities is essential to ensure that the global increase in wind-energy facilities can occur with minimal impact on bat populations. Although individua...

Transcriptomic analyses of MYCN-regulated genes in anaplastic Wilms' tumour cell lines reveals oncogenic pathways and potential therapeutic vulnerabilities (2021)
Journal Article

The MYCN proto-oncogene is deregulated in many cancers, most notably in neuroblastoma, where MYCN gene amplification identifies a clinical subset with very poor prognosis. Gene expression and DNA analyses have also demonstrated overexpression of MYCN...

Using UAV-mounted thermal cameras to detect the presence of nesting nightjar in upland clear-fell: A case study in South Wales, UK (2021)
Journal Article

1. Confirming the presence and location of European Nightjar Caprimulgus europaeus nests is a significant fieldwork challenge in ecological monitoring. Nest sites can be located through direct observation or capture and radio tracking of breeding ind...

Management of fatigue with physical activity and behavioural change support in vasculitis: A feasibility study (2021)
Journal Article

OBJECTIVE: Patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) experience high levels of fatigue, despite disease remission. This study assessed the feasibility and acceptability of a definitive randomized controlled trial of a behavioural-based physical...

Use of a nitrification inhibitor reduces nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from compacted grassland with different soil textures and climatic conditions (2021)
Journal Article

Grassland accounts for 70 % of the global agricultural area. Grassland amended with N fertiliser, although increasing productivity, encourages the emission of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). Soil compaction can result in impeded water movemen...

Prevalence, distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of bacterial isolates from a tertiary Hospital in Malawi (2021)
Journal Article

Background: Bacterial infections are a significant cause of sickness and death in sub-Saharan Africa. This study aimed at establishing the prevalence, distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of major bacterial isolates from patients acc...
