Health and social factors for health visitor caseload weighting: Reliability, accuracy and current and potential use (2002)
Journal Article

The reliability and validity of data collection and recording for a health visitor caseload weighting system operating in a large combined acute and community trust in Bristol was examined. Client families were recruited from all participating (servi... Read More about Health and social factors for health visitor caseload weighting: Reliability, accuracy and current and potential use.

The effect of selegiline in the treatment of people with Alzheimer's disease: A meta-analysis of published trials (2002)
Journal Article

Objective: To evaluate the effect of selegiline in the treatment of patients with Alzheimer's disease, in terms of cognitive performance, functional ability, emotional state (including behaviour and mood) and global response. Data sources: The Cochra... Read More about The effect of selegiline in the treatment of people with Alzheimer's disease: A meta-analysis of published trials.

The fabrication and characterisation of a highly sensitive polypyrrole sensor and its electrical responses to amines of differing basicity at high humidities (2002)
Journal Article

Ammonia is a common feedstock for many chemical processes involving nitrogen compounds. It is a poisonous, colourless gas with a pungent smell and a fairly low odour threshold of approximately 5 ppm. The recommended threshold limit value for human ex...

Expression of lux genes in a clinical isolate of Streptococcus pneumoniae: Using bioluminescence to monitor gemifloxacin activity (2002)
Journal Article

A clinical isolate of Streptococcus pneumoniae was transformed with a plasmid containing the lux operon of Photorhabdus luminescens that had been modified to function in gram-positive bacteria. Cells containing this plasmid produced light stably and...

Dynamic imaging of endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ concentration in insulin-secreting MIN6 cells using recombinant targeted cameleons: Roles of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA)-2 and ryanodine receptors (2002)
Journal Article

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays a pivotal role in the regulation of cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]cyt) and hence in insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in both the uptake and release of Ca...
