Journal Article
Stephens, R., Tanianis-Hughes, J., Higgs, N., Humphrey, M., & Warhurst, G. (2002). Region-dependent modulation of intestinal permeability by drug efflux transporters: In vitro studies in mdr1a(-/-) mouse intestine. Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 303(3), 1095-1101. https://doi.org/10.1124/jpet.102.041236

Information on the extent to which xenobiotics interact with P-glycoprotein (PGP) during transit through the intestine is crucial in determining the influence of PGP on oral drug absorption. We have recently described a novel use of isolated ileum fr...

The study used a variety of methodolo... Read More about Investigation and assessment of attitudes to and perceptions of the built environments in NHS Trust hospitals.

Investigating the acceptability of computer based training for local authority health and safety enforcement officer training (2002)
Journal Article
Murphy, R., Ford, N., & Casstles, H. (2002). Investigating the acceptability of computer based training for local authority health and safety enforcement officer training

In 1996 the Health and Safety Commission issued guidance to Local Authorities which included a requirement that they had a trained and competent inspectorate. Considerable interpretative skills are required in the implementation and enforcement of he...

Frameworks, networks and the UK regional agenda: nature planning for landscapes? (2002)
Journal Article
James, P., & Boothby, J. (2002). Frameworks, networks and the UK regional agenda: nature planning for landscapes?. Landscape Research, 27(4), 325-342. https://doi.org/10.1080/0142639022000023925

Planning at the landscape scale in Britain has had limited application. The origins, implementations and likely outcomes of new approaches to nature planning in Britain in which the spatial scale of planning could be 'landscape enabled' are traced. T...

Epidemiology and strain characteristics of Echinococcus granulosus in the Benghazi area of eastern Libya (2002)
Journal Article
Tashani, O., Zhang, L., Boufana, B., Jegi, A., & McManus, D. (2002). Epidemiology and strain characteristics of Echinococcus granulosus in the Benghazi area of eastern Libya. Annals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology, 96(4), 369-381. https://doi.org/10.1179/000349802125000952

The incidence of surgically confirmed cystic echinococcosis in eastern Libya was estimated to be at least 4.2 cases/100,000, with significantly more female cases than male. The prevalences of infection with Echinococcus granulosus among 1087 sheep, 8...

Growth factors in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: relative roles (2002)
Journal Article
Allen, J., & Spiteri, M. (2002). Growth factors in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: relative roles. Respiratory Research, 3(1), 13-22. https://doi.org/10.1186/rr162

Treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients has evolved very slowly; the fundamental approach of corticosteroids alone or in combination with other immunosuppressive agents has had little impact on long-term survival. The continued use of cor... Read More about Growth factors in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: relative roles.

Effects of silver sulphadiazine on the production of exoproteins by staphylococcus aureus (2002)
Journal Article
Edwards-Jones, V., & Foster, H. (2002). Effects of silver sulphadiazine on the production of exoproteins by staphylococcus aureus. Journal of Medical Microbiology, 51(1), 50-55

The effects of subinhibitory concentrations of silver sulphadiazine (AgSD) on exoprotein production in Staphylococcus aureus strains T1, T4, RN4282 and RN 4282agr were studied. AgSD markedly increased levels of toxic shock syndrome toxin (TSST)-1 in... Read More about Effects of silver sulphadiazine on the production of exoproteins by staphylococcus aureus.

Combined ultrasound and serologic screening for hepatic alveolar echinococcosis in central China (2002)
Journal Article
Bartholomot, G., Harraga, S., Vuitton, D., Shi, D., Giraudoux, P., Barnish, G., …Craig, P. (2002). Combined ultrasound and serologic screening for hepatic alveolar echinococcosis in central China

Alveolar echinococcosis (AE), caused by Echinococcus multilocularis, is a zoonotic helminthic disease that can mimic malignancy. In the 1970s, foci of the disease were found in central China. The aim of the present study was to estimate the prevalenc... Read More about Combined ultrasound and serologic screening for hepatic alveolar echinococcosis in central China.
