Patient experience of home and waiting room blood pressure measurement: a qualitative study of patients with recently diagnosed hypertension
(2018-12)
Background Out-of-office blood pressure (BP) measurement is advocated to confirm hypertension diagnosis. However, little is known about how primary care patients view and use such measurement.
Aim To investigate patient ...
Defining the relationship between arm and leg blood pressure readings: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(2019-04)
Objectives: To define the relationship between arm and leg blood pressure (BP) to inform the interpretation of leg BP readings in routine clinical practice where arm readings are not available. Methods: Systematic review ...
Characterizing the Digital Health Citizen: Mixed-Methods Study Deriving a New Typology
(2019-03)
Background: A key challenge for health systems harnessing digital tools and services is that of digital inclusion. Typically, digital inequalities are conceptualized in relation to unequal access or usage. However, these ...
Differential effects of poor recall and memory disjointedness on trauma symptoms
(2018)
Clinical theories of PTSD suggest that trauma memories are disorganised. The present study examined how trauma film exposure affects two aspects of memory disorganisation, poor memory recall and memory disjointedness, and ...
In Vivo Availability of Cannabinoid 1 Receptor Levels in Patients With First-Episode Psychosis
(2019-07)
Importance: Experimental and epidemiological studies implicate the cannabinoid 1 receptor (CB1R) in the pathophysiology of psychosis. However, whether CB1R levels are altered in the early stages of psychosis and whether ...
The genomic basis of mood instability: identification of 46 loci in 363,705 UK Biobank participants, genetic correlation with psychiatric disorders, and association with gene expression and function
(2019)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of psychiatric phenotypes have tended to focus on categorical diagnoses, but to understand the biology of mental illness it may be more useful to study traits which cut across traditional ...
Learning to optimize perceptual decisions through suppressive interactions in the human brain
(2019-01)
Translating noisy sensory signals to perceptual decisions is critical for successful interactions in complex environments. Learning is known to improve perceptual judgments by filtering external noise and task-irrelevant ...
Multimodal brain-age prediction and cardiovascular risk: The Whitehall II MRI sub-study
(2020-01)
Brain age is becoming a widely applied imaging-based biomarker of neural aging and potential proxy for brain integrity and health. We estimated multimodal and modality-specific brain age in the Whitehall II MRI cohort using ...
Diagnosis Across the Spectrum of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Corticobasal Syndrome
(2019-12)
IMPORTANCE: Atypical parkinsonian syndromes (APS), including progressive supranuclear
palsy (PSP), corticobasal syndrome (CBS), and multiple system atrophy (MSA), may be
difficult to distinguish in early stages and are ...
Associations between modifiable risk factors and white matter of the aging brain: insights from diffusion tensor imaging studies
(2019-08)
There is increasing interest in factors that may modulate white matter (WM) breakdown and, consequentially, age-related cognitive and behavioral deficits. Recent diffusion tensor imaging studies have examined the relationship ...
