Available from: https://doi.org/10.1080/00140139.2016.1188219

Rationale: It is currently unknown how body size affects buoyancy in submerged helicopter escape. Method: Eight healthy males aged 39.6±12.6year (mean±SD) with BMI 22.0–40.0kgm−2 wearing a standard survival (‘dry’) suit undertook a normal venting man...

Journal Article
MOSS, R.A., FINKELMEYER, A., ROBINSON, L.J., THOMPSON, J.M., WATSON, S., FERRIER, I.N. and GALLAGHER, P. 2016. The impact of target frequency on intra-individual variability in euthymic bipolar disorder: a comparison of two sustained attention tasks. Frontiers in psychiatry [online], 7, article 106. Available from: https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyt.2016.00106

Greater intra-individual variability (IIV) in reaction time (RT) on a sustained attention task has been reported in patients with bipolar disorder (BD) compared with healthy controls. However, it is unclear whether IIV is task specific, or whether it...

Background: Hippocampal volume reductions in major depression have been frequently reported. However, evidence for functional abnormalities in the same region in depression has been less clear. We investigated hippocampal function in depression using... Read More about Altered hippocampal function in major depression despite intact structure and resting perfusion..

Review: barriers to physical activity in obese adults: a rapid evidence assessment. (2016)

Obesity is clearly a major public health problem in developed nations, but also impacts on the health of developing countries, as they adopt lifestyle practices of the former. Physical activity, or lack of it, contributes heavily to the problem, espe... Read More about Review: barriers to physical activity in obese adults: a rapid evidence assessment..

Bibliometric analysis as mesaure [sic] of long-term performance in pancreatic cancer research. (2016)

Interprofessional simulation-based education (IPSE) is common in medicine and nursing curricula, however, less evident in diagnostic radiography. Previous work suggests graduate radiographers are unprepared in terms of trauma knowledge and experience...
