Functional dentition and changes in dietary patterns among older adults in Thailand.
(2021-10)OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between functional dentition (FD) and changes in dietary patterns (DP) in older adults. DESIGN: This was a 12-month prospective study, with dental examinations at baseline and ... -
Functional effects of anti-neuronal antibodies in patients with encephalitis lethargica and related disorders associated with streptococcal infection
(Queen Mary University of London, 2014)Encephalitis lethargica affected a large number of people in the pandemic in the early 1900s (von Economo, 1930). Histological and biochemical data suggest that autoimmune mechanisms play an important role in this disorder ... -
Functional electrical stimulation in-bed cycle ergometry in mechanically ventilated patients: a multicentre randomised controlled trial.
(BMJ, 2020-12-15)PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of functional electrical stimulation-assisted cycle ergometry (FES-cycling) on muscle strength, cognitive impairment and related outcomes. METHODS: Mechanically ventilated patients aged ... -
Functional Films and Fibres based on Liquid Crystal Coatings
(Queen Mary University of London, 30/01/2015)This thesis aims to produce functional polymer fibres and films using liquid crystal networks or photoembossing. The work focuses on visual effects in fibres, optical sensing properties and, actuation and morphing properties. ... -
Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders and the Joint Hypermobility Syndrome
(Queen Mary University of London, 2013)Despite the fact that functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID), such as irritable bowel syndrome, are common, our understanding of them is limited. The Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (JHS) is a common non-inflammator ... -
Functional genomics in Spiralia
(Oxford University Press, 2023-08)Our understanding of the mechanisms that modulate gene expression in animals is strongly biased by studying a handful of model species that mainly belong to three groups: Insecta, Nematoda and Vertebrata. However, over ... -
Functional genomics of supergene-controlled behavior in the white-throated sparrow.
(2021)Supergenes are regions of suppressed recombination that may span hundreds of genes and can control variation in key ecological phenotypes. Since genetic analysis is made impossible by the absence of recombination between ... -
Functional impact of microRNA-34a on stem cell differentiation towards smooth muscle cell
(Queen Mary University of London, 2014)MicroRNAs play an important role in biological regulation. Recently miR-34a has been reported to regulate tumour cell cycle progression and apoptosis. However, the functional role of miR-34a in smooth muscle cell (SMC) ... -
Functional inequalities on symmetric spaces of noncompact type and applications
(2024)The aim of this paper is to begin a systematic study of functional inequalities on symmetric spaces of noncompact type of higher rank. Our first main goal of this study is to establish the Stein–Weiss inequality, also known ... -
Functional limit theorems for the Bouchaud trap model with slowly varying traps
(Elsevier, 2014-12-19)We consider the Bouchaud trap model on the integers in the case that the trap distribution has a slowly varying tail at infinity. Our main result is a functional limit theorem for the model under the annealed law, analogous ... -
FUNCTIONAL LIVER TESTS IN LIVER DISEASE
(2023-12-18)The liver is subject to several insults, whether from ingested chemicals, pathogens or genetic diseases. Many of these are transient and full function returns. However, chronic injury may lead to scarring, the volume and ... -
The functional mechanism of electron transfer within photosynthetic complex I in cyanobacteria
(Queen Mary University of London, 2021-12)Photosynthesis relies upon a proton motive force to produce ATP. Photosynthetic complex I (PS-CI) is a member of the complex I family involved in cyclic electron flow and respiration in cyanobacteria. PS-CI couples ferredoxin ...
