Prison as a site of intense religious change : the example of conversion to Islam (2021)
Journal Article
Wilkinson, M., Irfan, L., Quraishi, M., & Schneuwly Purdie, M. (2021). Prison as a site of intense religious change : the example of conversion to Islam. Religions, 12(3), e162. https://doi.org/10.3390/rel12030162

Based on the findings of mixed-methods research conducted with 279 Muslim prisoners in 10 prisons in England, Switzerland and France, this paper argues that contemporary European prisons are sites of intense religious change, in which many people bor...

A systematic evaluation of cutaneous microcirculation in the foot using post‐occlusive reactive hyperemia (2021)
Journal Article
Balasubramanian, G., Chockalingam, N., & Naemi, R. (2021). A systematic evaluation of cutaneous microcirculation in the foot using post‐occlusive reactive hyperemia. Microcirculation, 28, Article e12692. https://doi.org/10.1111/micc.12692

Objectives
Cutaneous microcirculatory impairments are associated with skin injury to the foot. Post-Occlusive reactive hyperemia (PORH) is one of the quick and easy methods to assess microcirculatory function. However, there are variations in the pr... Read More about A systematic evaluation of cutaneous microcirculation in the foot using post‐occlusive reactive hyperemia.

Identifying information needs of patients with IgA Nephropathy, using an innovative social media stepped analytical approach (2021)
Journal Article

Introduction
Increasingly people with kidney disease are using social media to search for medical information and to find peer-support. IgA nephropathy (IgAN) predominantly affects young adults, demographically the biggest users of...

Journal Article
MacVane Phipps, F., Price, A., Ackers-Johnson, J., Cook, P., Clarke-Cornwell, A., & Lythgoe, J. (2021). 698 mothers and babies, 38 390 nappy changes : what did we learn?. British Journal of Midwifery, 29(3), 150-157. https://doi.org/10.12968/bjom.2021.29.3.150

Background Several industry funded studies between 2001–2018 have compared the use of a single brand of baby wipes to cleansing with water and either cloth or cotton wool during nappy changes. All of these studies found that wipes were safe and effec... Read More about 698 mothers and babies, 38 390 nappy changes : what did we learn?.

Effects of intermittent claudication due to arterial disease on pain-free gait (2021)
Journal Article
Evangelopoulou, E., Jones, R., Jameel, M., Boyd, P., & Nester, C. (2021). Effects of intermittent claudication due to arterial disease on pain-free gait. Clinical Biomechanics, 83, 105309. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2021.105309

Studies of intermittent claudication gait report inconsistent outcomes. Changes in gait are often attributed to degradation of calf muscles, but causation has not been proven through real-time electromyographic data. Neither have effects of walking s...

Carry-over of attentional settings between distinct tasks : a transient effect independent of top-down contextual biases (2021)
Journal Article

Top-down attentional settings can persist between two unrelated tasks, influencing visual attention and performance. This study investigated whether top-down contextual information in a second task could moderate this “attentional inertia” effect. Fo...
