An in vivo experimental validation of a computational model of human foot (2009)
Journal Article
Tao, K., Wang, D., Wang, C., Wang, X., Liu, A., Nester, C., & Howard, D. (2009). An in vivo experimental validation of a computational model of human foot. Journal of Bionic Engineering, 6(4), 387-397. https://doi.org/10.1016/S1672-6529%2808%2960138-9

Reliable computational foot models offer an alternative means to enhance knowledge on the biomechanics of human foot. Model validation is one of the most critical aspects of the entire foot modeling and analysis process. This paper presents an in viv...

Barriers for dental treatment of primary teeth in East and West Germany (2009)
Journal Article
Splieth, C., Bunger, B., & Pine, C. (2009). Barriers for dental treatment of primary teeth in East and West Germany. International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, 19(2), 84-90. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-263X.2008.00949.x

Background. In many countries, restorative treatment in primary teeth is suboptimal. Aim. Thus, this study tried to detect barriers for dentists to restore primary teeth in kindergarten children (3–6 years). Design. For a representative surve...

The promotion of oral health within the Healthy School context in England: a qualitative research study (2009)
Journal Article
Stokes, E., Pine, C., & Harris, R. (2009). The promotion of oral health within the Healthy School context in England: a qualitative research study. BMC Oral Health, 9(1), 3. https://doi.org/10.1186/1472-6831-9-3

Background Healthy Schools programmes may assist schools in improving the oral health of children through advocating a common risk factor approach to health promotion and by more explicit consideration of oral health. The objectives of this study... Read More about The promotion of oral health within the Healthy School context in England: a qualitative research study.

In vivo tendon mechanical and structural properties : adaptability and influencing factors (2009)
Thesis
Burgess, K. In vivo tendon mechanical and structural properties : adaptability and influencing factors. (Thesis). University of Salford

The central aim of this thesis was to expand on the current knowledge of factors which influence human tendon properties. It is shown here that tendon elongation is 72% greater and calculated tendon stiffness 43% (p0.05).

Prospective observational study of postoperative epidural analgesia for major abdominal surgery (2009)
Thesis
Duncan, F. Prospective observational study of postoperative epidural analgesia for major abdominal surgery. (Thesis). University of Salford

The number of surgical procedures is increasing worldwide. The Audit Commission set a target that only 5% of patients should experience severe post-operative pain. Major abdominal surgery is a cause of severe post-operative pain. Epidural analgesia... Read More about Prospective observational study of postoperative epidural analgesia for major abdominal surgery.
