A cross-sectional study exploring levels of physical activity and motivators and barriers towards physical activity in haemodialysis patients to inform intervention development
(2019-10)
Purpose: To describe physical activity (PA) levels and motivators and barriers to PA amongst haemodialysis (HD) patients and to identify an appropriate approach to increasing their PA.
Methods: A cross-sectional mixed ...
Modulation of the pupillary response by the content of visual working memory
(2019-09)
Studies of selective attention during perception have revealed
modulation of the pupillary response according to the brightness
of task-relevant (attended) vs. -irrelevant (unattended) stimuli
within a visual display. ...
A Path Signature Approach for Speech Emotion Recognition
(2019-09)
Automatic speech emotion recognition (SER) remains a
difficult task within human-computer interaction, despite increasing
interest in the research community. One key challenge
is how to effectively integrate short-term ...
Hippocampal network abnormalities explain amnesia after VGKCC-Ab related autoimmune limbic encephalitis
(2019-05)
Objective Limbic encephalitis associated with antibodies to components of the voltage-gated potassium channel complex (VGKCC-Ab-LE) often leads to hippocampal atrophy and persistent memory impairment. Its long-term impact ...
Dynamic sustained attention markers differentiate atypical development: The case of Williams syndrome and Down's syndrome
(2019-07)
Impaired sustained attention is considered an important factor
in determining poor functional outcomes across multiple
cognitive and behavioural disorders. Sustained attention is
compromised for both children with ...
Developing Clinical Guidelines for Dietitians Treating Young People with Anorexia Nervosa - Family Focused Approach Working Alongside Family Therapists
(2019-05)
Introduction: Family therapy for the treatment of Anorexia Nervosa (AN)
in an outpatient setting is the evidenced based model of care. Nutritional
intervention is an essential component in the treatment of AN particularly ...
Neuropeptide-Y causes coronary microvascular constriction and is associated with reduced ejection fraction following ST-elevation myocardial infarction
(2019-03)
Aims The co-transmitter neuropeptide-Y (NPY) is released during high sympathetic drive, including ST-elevation myocardial
infarction (STEMI), and can be a potent vasoconstrictor. We hypothesized that myocardial NPY levels ...
Multifactorial interventions for preventing falls in older people living in the community: a systematic review and meta-analysis of 41 trials and almost 20 000 participants
(2019-08)
Objective To assess the longer term effects of multifactorial interventions for preventing falls in older people living in the community, and to explore whether prespecific trial-level characteristics are associated with ...
Diagnostic accuracy and clinical impact of natriuretic peptide screening for the detection of heart failure in the community: a protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis [version 2; peer review: awaiting peer review]
(2019-12)
Introduction: Patients diagnosed with heart failure in primary care have a better prognosis than those diagnosed in hospital. However, most cases are missed in the community. Recent attention has focussed on the potential ...
The autoantibody-mediated encephalitides: from clinical observations to molecular pathogenesis
(2019-10)
The autoimmune encephalitis (AE) syndromes have been characterised by the detection of autoantibodies in serum and/or cerebrospinal fluid which target the extracellular domains of specific neuroglial antigens. The clinical ...
