Caring for people with dementia in non-specialist settings (2009)
Journal Article
Doherty, D., & Collier, E. (2009). Caring for people with dementia in non-specialist settings. Nursing Older People, 21(6), 28-31

This article provides a selective review and discussion of the literature focusing on educational issues for adult health nurses caring for people with dementia in general hospital settings. The term ‘adult health nurses’ refers to registered nurses... Read More about Caring for people with dementia in non-specialist settings.

Predictors of depressive symptoms in persons with diabetic peripheral neuropathy: a longitudinal study (2009)
Journal Article
peripheral neuropathy: a longitudinal study. Diabetologia, 52(7), 1265-1273. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00125-009-1363-2

The aim of the study was to determine whether diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a risk factor for depressive symptoms and examine the potential mechanisms for this relationship. This longitudinal study (9 and 18 month followup) of 338 DPN pati... Read More about Predictors of depressive symptoms in persons with diabetic peripheral neuropathy: a longitudinal study.

Menstrual cycle variations in oestradiol and progesterone have no impact on in vivo medial gastrocnemius tendon mechanical properties (2009)
Journal Article
Burgess, K., Pearson, S., & Onambélé, G. (2009). Menstrual cycle variations in oestradiol and progesterone have no impact on in vivo medial gastrocnemius tendon mechanical properties. Clinical Biomechanics, 24(6), 504-509. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2009.03.011

Background: Tendon tissue contains oestrogen receptors and is therefore likely to be responsive to female sex hormones. Here we examine any effect of levels of female sex hormones associated with the menstrual cycle phase on corresponding tendon mech...

Group Therapy for Repeated Deliberate Self-Harm in Adolescents: Failure of Replication of a Randomized Trial (2009)
Journal Article
Hazell, P. L., Martin, G., Mcgill, K., Kay, T., Wood, A., Trainor, G., & Harrington, R. (2009). Group Therapy for Repeated Deliberate Self-Harm in Adolescents: Failure of Replication of a Randomized Trial. Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 48(6), 662-670. https://doi.org/10.1097/chi.0b013e3181aoacec

Objective To replicate a study, which found group therapy superior to routine care in preventing the recurrence of self-harming behavior in adolescents who had deliberately harmed themselves on at least two occasions. Method Single blind study wit... Read More about Group Therapy for Repeated Deliberate Self-Harm in Adolescents: Failure of Replication of a Randomized Trial.

Hydrodynamic glide efficiency in swimming (2009)
Journal Article
Naemi, R., J Easson, W., & H Sanders, R. (2010). Hydrodynamic glide efficiency in swimming. Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, 13(4), 444-451. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsams.2009.04.009

The glide is a major part of starts, turns and the stroke cycle in breaststroke. Glide performance, indicated by the average velocity, can be improved by increasing the glide efficiency, that is, the ability of the body to minimise deceleration. This...

The immediate effect of orthotic management on grip strength of patients with lateral epicondylosis (2009)
Journal Article
Jafarian, F., Demneh, E., & Tyson, S. (2009). The immediate effect of orthotic management on grip strength of patients with lateral epicondylosis. Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 39(6), 484-489. https://doi.org/10.2519/jospt.2009.2988

Study design: Controlled laboratory study using a randomized crossover design. Objective: To determine the immediate effect of 3 common types of orthoses (2 elbow counterforce orthoses and a wrist splint) on grip strength in individuals with lateral...

Tendon structural and mechanical properties do not differ between genders in a healthy community-dwelling elderly population (2009)
Journal Article
Burgess, K., Pearson, S., Breen, L., & Onambélé, G. (2009). Tendon structural and mechanical properties do not differ between genders in a healthy community-dwelling elderly population. Journal of Orthopaedic Research, 27(6), 820-825. https://doi.org/10.1002/jor.20811

Elderly women are reportedly at higher risk of falling than their male counterparts. Postural balance is highly associated with fall risk and is also correlated with tendon structural and mechanical properties. Gender differences in tendon properties...
