The use of complementary and alternative medicine among children in Aberdeen: an outcomes-based cross-sectional survey. (2015)
Presentation / Conference
NDU, O., STRATH, A. and DIACK, L. 2015. The use of complementary and alternative medicine among children in Aberdeen: an outcomes-based cross-sectional survey. Presented at the 2015 Complementary and alternative medicine strategy for research and development conference (CAMSTRAND 2015), 9-10 June 2015, London, UK.

The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in paediatric subjects is increasing globally. However, most of the data available in the UK is based on hospital-based studies; and studies of such use in the general population are scarce. Als...

The design and synthesis of novel pro-drugs for the treatment of nephropathic cystinosis. (2015)
Thesis
BAHMED, A. 2015. The design and synthesis of novel pro-drugs for the treatment of nephropathic cystinosis. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Cystinosis is a metabolic disorder characterised by the abnormal accumulation of the amino acid cystine in cells leading to a slow destruction of all major organs. If patients diagnosed with cystinosis are untreated, death due to kidney failure ensue... Read More about The design and synthesis of novel pro-drugs for the treatment of nephropathic cystinosis..
