PAin SoluTions in the Emergency Setting (PASTIES); A protocol for two open-label randomised trials of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) versus routine care in the emergency department (2013)
Journal Article

Introduction: Pain is the commonest reason that patients present to an emergency department (ED), but it is often not treated effectively. Patient controlled analgesia (PCA) is used in other hospital settings but there is little evidence to support i...

Infrared Spectroscopic Studies of Cells and Tissues: Triple Helix Proteins as a Potential Biomarker for Tumors (2013)
Journal Article

In this work, the infrared (IR) spectra of living neural cells in suspension, native brain tissue, and native brain tumor tissue were investigated. Methods were developed to overcome the strong IR signal of liquid water so that the signal from the ce...

The prevalence of metabolic syndrome amongst patients with severe mental illness in the community in Hong Kong - a cross sectional study (2013)
Journal Article

Background: Patients with severe mental illness are at increased risk of developing metabolic disorders. The risk of metabolic syndrome in the Hong Kong general population is lower than that observed in western countries; however the prevalence of me...

The motives and performance of cross-border acquirers from emerging economies: Comparison between Chinese and Indian firms (2013)
Journal Article

During the recent decade, the world has witnessed the rapid growth of MNEs from emerging economies. Their increasing participation in cross-border mergers and acquisitions has raised great attention in the extant literature. This study evaluates the...

An output code offset-free comparator for SAR ADCs based on non-linear preamplifier and CMOS inverters (2013)
Journal Article

The Tanh transfer function of the differential pair operating in weak inversion is employed to implement the non-linear pre-amplification for the comparator of the SAR ADC. This non-linear preamplifier achieves a low gain for large input signals ther...

The linked response: Lessons emerging from integration of HIV and reproductive health services in Cambodia (2013)
Journal Article

A qualitative assessment was made of service provider and user perceptions of the quality of integrated reproductive health services established through a pilot intervention in Cambodia. The intervention aimed to promote pregnant women's HIV testing... Read More about The linked response: Lessons emerging from integration of HIV and reproductive health services in Cambodia.
