Journal Article
Magee, P., Pearson, S., & Allen, J. (2008). The omega-3 fatty acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), prevents the damaging effects of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha during murine skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Lipids in Health and Disease, 7(1), 24. https://doi.org/10.1186/1476-511X-7-24

Background: Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is a -3 polyunsaturated fatty acid with antiinflammatory and anti-cachetic properties that may have potential benefits with regards to skeletal muscle atrophy conditions where inflammation is present. It is al...

The applicability of ultrasound imaging in the assessment of dynamic patella tracking: a preliminary investigation (2008)
Journal Article
Herrington, L., & Pearson, S. (2008). The applicability of ultrasound imaging in the assessment of dynamic patella tracking: a preliminary investigation. ˜The œKnee (Amsterdam. Online), 15, 125-127

The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of muscle stimulation of the Vastus Medialis Oblique (VMO) and Vastus Laterialis (VL) muscles on patella position in-vivo assessed by ultrasound scanning. Also to assess the reliability of the techn... Read More about The applicability of ultrasound imaging in the assessment of dynamic patella tracking: a preliminary investigation.
