Economic evaluation of a rehabilitation program integrating exercise, self-management, and active coping strategies for chronic knee pain.
(2007-10-15)
OBJECTIVE: To conduct an economic evaluation of the Enabling Self-Management and Coping with Arthritic Knee Pain through Exercise (ESCAPE-knee pain) program. METHODS: Alongside a clinical trial, we estimated the costs of ...
DIAP2 functions as a mechanism-based regulator of drICE that contributes to the caspase activity threshold in living cells.
(2007-12-31)
In addition to their well-known function in apoptosis, caspases are also important in several nonapoptotic processes. How caspase activity is restrained and shut down under such nonapoptotic conditions remains unknown. ...
Computer-based teaching is as good as face to face lecture-based teaching of evidence based medicine: a randomised controlled trial.
(2007-07-20)
BACKGROUND: At postgraduate level evidence based medicine (EBM) is currently taught through tutor based lectures. Computer based sessions fit around doctors' workloads, and standardise the quality of educational provision. ...
Professional-patient communication in the treatment of mental illness: a review.
(2007)
The quality of the professional-patient relationship in the treatment of mental illness predicts patient outcome. Hence, we conducted a review of recorded professional-patient communication to identify existing research, ...
Clinical effectiveness of a rehabilitation program integrating exercise, self-management, and active coping strategies for chronic knee pain: a cluster randomized trial.
(2007-10-15)
OBJECTIVE: Chronic knee pain is a major cause of disability and health care expenditure, but there are concerns about efficacy, cost, and side effects associated with usual primary care. Conservative rehabilitation may ...

BACKGROUND: It is a UK policy requirement to involve patients and the public in health research as active partners. OBJECTIVE: We reviewed published reports of studies which involved older people in commissioning, prioritizng, ...
Hardness measured with traditional Vickers and Martens hardness methods.
(2007-09)
OBJECTIVE: To determine the differences, if any, between hardness measured with traditional Vickers and Martens hardness test methods on denture teeth under 2, 10 and 50 N loads. METHOD: Hardness of acrylic resin (VIV), ...
Experimental determination of translational starts using peptide mass mapping and tandem mass spectrometry within the proteome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
(2007-02)
Identification of protein translation start sites is largely a bioinformatics exercise, with relatively few confirmed by N-terminal sequencing. Translation start site determination is critical for defining both the protein ...
Familial loading in specific language impairment: patterns of differences across proband characteristics, gender and relative type.
(2007-04)
There is now little doubt that both environmental factors and genes are likely to make important contributions to the aetiology of specific language impairment (SLI). The most commonly proposed model for understanding these ...
