Postactivation performance enhancement (PAPE) using a vertical jump to improve vertical jump performance (2022)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: Postactivation performance enhancement (PAPE) is a principle that suggests that an acute bout of high intensity voluntary exercise will be followed by an improvement in strength, power, and speed of a subsequent task. This study intended... Read More about Postactivation performance enhancement (PAPE) using a vertical jump to improve vertical jump performance.

This paper will draw on ongoing research funded by AHRC which works with 5 schools / Early Year centres in some of the most socio-economically deprived areas of Bristol. It will reflect on how we have used maps as a way of exploring children's experi... Read More about Using mapping to explore experiences of the pandemic with 3-11 year olds.

The sands of time: Adolescents' temporal perceptions of peer relationships and autonomy in the context of living with chronic pain (2022)
Journal Article

The incidence of chronic and recurrent pain increases in adolescence. Prevalence of adolescent chronic pain is estimated to be 11%-44%, with approximately 5% adolescents experiencing moderate-to-severe chronic pain. Adolescents with chronic pain also...

Collaboration between doctoral researchers and patient research partners: Reflections and considerations (2022)
Journal Article

A key principle of working in collaboration with patient research partners (patients contributing to research projects as team members, rather than as participants) is that they should be equal partners with researchers and health professionals. This... Read More about Collaboration between doctoral researchers and patient research partners: Reflections and considerations.

Foundational research could improve future transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation evaluations (2022)
Journal Article

Background and objectives: There is a lack of good quality evidence regarding the effectiveness of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for chronic musculoskeletal pain, including chronic low back pain. High quality randomised controlle... Read More about Foundational research could improve future transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation evaluations.

Completeness of police reporting of traffic crashes in Nepal: Evaluation using a community crash recording system (2022)
Journal Article

Objective: Accurate road crash reporting is essential for evaluating road safety interventions and plans. Under-reporting of road traffic crashes, injuries, and fatalities in police records has been widely described. The aim of this study was to appl...

Assessment and treatment of nocturia in neurological disease in a primary care setting: Systematic review and nominal group technique consensus (2022)
Journal Article

Context: Neurological disease can affect the rate of urine production and bladder storage function, increasing nocturia severity, with additional risks if mobility or cognition is impaired. Objective: To conduct a systematic review (SR) of nocturia i...

Point-of-care testing in paediatric settings in the UK and Ireland: A cross-sectional study (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Point-of-care testing (POCT) is diagnostic testing performed at or near to the site of the patient. Understanding the current capacity, and scope, of POCT in this setting is essential in order to respond to new research evidence which may...

Assessment and treatment of nocturia in endocrine disease in a primary care setting; systematic review and nominal group technique consensus (2022)
Journal Article

Context: Salt and water homeostasis is regulated hormonally, so polyuria can result from endocrine disease directly or via secondary effects. These mechanisms are not consistently considered in primary care management of nocturia. Objective: To condu...

Use of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaires bladder diary (ICIQ-BD) in men seeking therapy for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Completion rates and correspondence to other measures need to be established for the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire (ICIQ) bladder diary (ICIQ-BD) in the assessment of male lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Ob... Read More about Use of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaires bladder diary (ICIQ-BD) in men seeking therapy for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).

Implications of cardiovascular disease for assessment and treatment of nocturia in primary care; systematic review and nominal group technique consensus (2022)
Journal Article

Context: Heart conditions affect salt and water homeostasis as a consequence of the underlying condition, compensatory processes, and therapy, and can result in nocturnal polyuria. These processes need to be identified as part of a full evaluation of...

Nocturia and chronic kidney disease: Systematic review and nominal group technique consensus for primary care assessment and treatment (2022)
Journal Article

Context: Reduced renal function impairs salt and water homeostasis, which can drive nocturnal or 24-h polyuria. Nocturia can arise early in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Evidence-based recommendations can facilitate management outside nephrology clin...

Qualitative assessment of the conservative management of nocturia with standardised written materials for Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in men treated in primary care (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Many men prefer conservative treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) but education and self-help guidance are limited in primary care. Objective: To report qualitative interview findings for men reporting nocturia in a primary ca...

Association of sleep disorders with nocturia: A systematic review and nominal group technique consensus on primary care assessment and treatment (2022)
Journal Article

Context: Sleep disorders affect responsiveness to sensory information and can cause nocturnal polyuria and reduced sleep depth; hence, these are potentially influential in understanding the mechanism of nocturia. Objective: To report the systematic r...
