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 ... -
EUROmediCAT signal detection: an evaluation of selected congenital anomaly-medication associations.
(2016-10)AIMS: To evaluate congenital anomaly (CA)-medication exposure associations produced by the new EUROmediCAT signal detection system and determine which require further investigation. METHODS: Data from 15 EUROCAT registries ... -
"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.

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 ... -
Scanning electron microscopy for blood micro-crystals in aortic stenosis patients.
(2018)BACKGROUND: Micro-crystals of calcium phosphate have been detected on the aortic valve of patients with aortic stenosis using scanning electron microscopy. It is not known whether crystalisation is specific to heart valve ... -
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 ... -
Trends in congenital anomalies in Europe from 1980 to 2012.
