Influence of 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine lesions of the rat fornix—fimbria and cingulum bundles on spontaneous activity in an aversive maze (2008)
Journal Article
Robertson, D., Beattie, J., Reid, I., & Balfour, D. (2008). Influence of 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine lesions of the rat fornix—fimbria and cingulum bundles on spontaneous activity in an aversive maze. Journal of Psychopharmacology, 22(3), 285-289. https://doi.org/10.1177/0269881107083841

Exposure to aversive environmental stimuli stimulates the serotonergic neurones that project to the forebrain and inhibit spontaneous activity when studied in a simple maze. This study explored the putative role of the principal 5-hydroxytryptamine (...

Journal Article
Snow, M., Thompson, G., & Turner, P. (2008). A mechanical comparison of the locking compression plate (LCP) and the low contact-Dynamic Compression Plate (DCP) in an osteoporotic bone model. Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 22(2), 121-125. https://doi.org/10.1097/BOT.0b013e318160c84c

Objective: to determine if locking compression plates (LCP) are mechanically advantageous compared to low-contact dynamic compression plates (DCP) when used as a bridging plate in a synthetic model of osteoporotic bone.
Methods: five synthetic bars... Read More about A mechanical comparison of the locking compression plate (LCP) and the low contact-Dynamic Compression Plate (DCP) in an osteoporotic bone model.

Triumph over the barricades and put the evidence into practice (2008)
Journal Article
Hollins Martin, C. (2008). Triumph over the barricades and put the evidence into practice. British Journal of Midwifery, 16(2), 76-81

In some instances midwives find it difficult to implement
research into practice (Albers, 2001). For example, evidence
informs of the benefits of providing continuous support during labour (Hodnett et al, 2003), yet one midwife to one woman is not... Read More about Triumph over the barricades and put the evidence into practice.
