Functional plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 is retained on the activated platelet membrane following platelet activation. (2019)
Journal Article
MORROW, G.B., WHYTE, C.S. and MUTCH, N.J. 2020. Functional plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 is retained on the activated platelet membrane following platelet activation. Haematologica [online], 105(12), pages 2824-2833. Available from: https://doi.org/10.3324/haematol.2019.230367

Platelets harbor the primary reservoir of circulating plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), but the reportedly low functional activity of this pool of inhibitor has led to debate over its contribution to thrombus stability. Here we analyze the f... Read More about Functional plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 is retained on the activated platelet membrane following platelet activation..

Theoretical approaches in the development and evaluation of behaviour change interventions that improve clinicians’ antimicrobial prescribing: a systematic review. (2019)
Presentation / Conference
TALKHAN, H., STEWART, D., MCINTOSH, T., ABDULROUF, P.V., AL-HAIL, M., CUNNINGHAM, S. and ZIGLAM, H. 2019. Theoretical approaches in the development and evaluation of behaviour change interventions that improve clinicians’ antimicrobial prescribing: a systematic review. Presented at 2019 Federation of Infection Societies conference (FIS 2019), 11-14 November 2019, Edinburgh, UK.

Many countries have developed antimicrobial stewardship programmes with strategies to optimise antimicrobial prescribing. There remains a need for behaviour change interventions at clinician level to promote appropriate prescribing. Theories should b...
