Temporal changes in intraluminal thrombus volume within abdominal aortic aneurysms : implications for planning endovascular aneurysm sealing (2017)
Journal Article

Purpose: To explore whether or not there are temporal changes in the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and intraluminal thrombus (ILT) volumes between planning and implantation of the endovascular aneurysm sealing (EVAS) device and how these changes in...

Optimising rigour in focus group analysis : using content/thematic and form/structural approaches to understand British Somali's experiences of policing in London (2017)
Journal Article
Ahmed, A., Quraishi, M., & Abdillahi, A. (2017). Optimising rigour in focus group analysis : using content/thematic and form/structural approaches to understand British Somali's experiences of policing in London. International social science review, 93(2), 1-31

There is evidence that focus groups are useful to explore issues with socially marginalised groups, notably when participants have shared particular experiences. Focus groups have the methodological potential to highlight group norms and processes, a...

Rhythmic laser cue is beneficial for improving gait performance and reducing freezing of turning in Parkinson’s disease patients with freezing of gait (2017)
Journal Article
Tang, L., Gao, C., Wang, D., Liu, A., Chen, S., & Gu, D. (2017). Rhythmic laser cue is beneficial for improving gait performance and reducing freezing of turning in Parkinson’s disease patients with freezing of gait. International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, 10(12), 16802-16808

Background and aim: Gait time components in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients such as step time, gait rhythmicity, symmetry, and coordination are exacerbated during turning. Freezing of gait (FOG) can be triggered off when such gait-timing deficiency...

Background: There is no consensus on the most suitable treatment for tennis elbow but, in the USA, surgical intervention is increasing despite a lack of supportive research evidence. The aim of this systematic review was to provide a balanced update... Read More about Surgery for tennis elbow: a systematic review.

Can an aversive, extinction-resistant memory trigger impairments in walking adaptability? An experimental study using adult rats (2017)
Journal Article

Cognitive demands can influence the adaptation of walking, a crucial skill to maintain body stability and prevent falls. Whilst previous research has shown emotional load tunes goal-directed movements, little attention has been given to this finding....

Maternity leave duration and adverse pregnancy outcomes: An international country-level comparison (2017)
Journal Article
Kwegyir-Afful, E., Adu, G., Spelten, E., Räsänen, K., & Verbeek, J. (2017). Maternity leave duration and adverse pregnancy outcomes: An international country-level comparison. Scandinavian Journal of Public Health, 46(8), 798-804. https://doi.org/10.1177/1403494817745737

Aim: Preterm birth and low birthweight (LBW) lead to infant morbidity and mortality. The causes are unknown. This study evaluates the association between duration of maternity leave and birth outcomes at country level.
Method: We compiled data on... Read More about Maternity leave duration and adverse pregnancy outcomes: An international country-level comparison.
