Dietary sodium intake and overweight and obesity in children and adults: a protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.
(2016-01-18)BACKGROUND: Overweight and obesity in children and adults is a major public health concern. Emerging evidence suggests dietary sodium intake may be associated with obesity. This systematic review and meta-analysis will aim ... -
The dose-response relationship between cigarette consumption, biochemical markers and risk of lung cancer.
(1997)The relationship between the number of cigarettes smoked per day and the incidence of lung cancer is linear but, from the multistage model of carcinogenesis, it should be quadratic (upwards curving). We investigated this ... -
Epidemiology of septo-optic dysplasia with focus on prevalence and maternal age - A EUROCAT study.
(2018-09)Septo-optic nerve dysplasia is a rare congenital anomaly with optic nerve hypoplasia, pituitary hormone deficiencies and midline developmental defects of the brain. The clinical findings are visual impairment, hypopituitarism ... -
EUROmediCAT signal detection: a systematic method for identifying potential teratogenic medication.
(2016-10)AIMS: Information about medication safety in pregnancy is inadequate. We aimed to develop a signal detection methodology to routinely identify unusual associations between medications and congenital anomalies using data ... -
"I'm not strong enough; I'm not good enough. I can't do this, I'm failing"- A qualitative study of low-socioeconomic status smokers' experiences with accesssing cessation support and the role for alternative technology-based support.

Initial ratings of different types of e-cigarettes and relationships between product appeal and nicotine delivery.
(2018-04)AIMS: Little is known about features of e-cigarettes (EC) that facilitate or hinder the switch from smoking to vaping. We tested eight brands of EC to determine how nicotine delivery and other product characteristics ... -
Prevalence of valproate syndrome in Europe from 2005 to 2014: A registry based multi-centre study.
(2018-09)Women with epilepsy need to continue to take anticonvulsants during their pregnancies to prevent seizures from occurring. Since the 1980's, it has been known that the use of valproate (an anticonvulsant) in the first ... -
Service use and costs for people with headache: a UK primary care study.
(2011-12)This paper aims to estimate the service and social costs of headache presenting in primary care and to identify predictors of headache costs. Patients were recruited from GP practices in England and service use and lost ... -
Sodium Reduction, Metabolomic Profiling, and Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Untreated Black Hypertensives.
(2019-07)Dietary sodium restriction has multiple beneficial effects on cardiovascular health. The underlying mechanisms are not fully understood, and the roles of metabolomics have been rarely studied. We aimed to test the hypothesis ...
