Diabetes and the cardiac dysfunction caused by experimental sepsis
(Queen Mary University of London, 2018-07-10)Sepsis is the leading cause of death in ICU patients. Patients with sepsis may develop sepsis-related cardiac dysfunction. The presence of this cardiac dysfunction can increase the mortality rate from 40% to 70%. Diabetes ... -
Epigenetic variation associated with genetic and environmental factors in the aetiology of Type 2 diabetes.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2013-02)Type 2 diabetes, as a complex disease, has a range of genetic and environmental factors that underpin its aetiology. It is hoped that the emerging study of epigenetic processes will provide the necessary mechanistic insight ... -
Identification Of Novel Mechanisms Of Glucolipotoxicity In Type 2 Diabetes.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2015-01)Type 2 Diabetes, a metabolic disorder associated with chronic hyperglycaemia and hyperlipidaemia, is characterised by an impairment of insulin secretion and production and β-cell death. This β-cell dysfunction is determined ... -
Mechanisms of Abdominal Pain in Paediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease
(Queen Mary University of London, 26/10/2018)Introduction. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a condition affecting more than 3 million people in Europe and the USA combined. Patients report pain as one of the most severe and debilitating symptoms leading to a lower ... -
Multilayer microcapsules for delivery, control and triggered release of bioactive compounds
(Queen Mary University of London, 2012)Developing of targeted drug delivery systems is currently a very important topic, which can be easily judged by a great number of papers published every year. Materials science proposes, among others, microcapsules as ... -

ORGANO-NITROGEN COHPOUNDS OF COBALT
(Queen Mary University of London, 1968-02)The reactions of cobalt halides with lithium dialkylamides have been investigated. The reaction with lithium diethylamide proved to be very unusual. This reaction was fully studied and the main products were shown to ... -
Predicting the epidemic: a study of diabetes risk profiling in a multi-ethnic inner city population
(Queen Mary University of London, 2012)Type 2 diabetes has increased in prevalence globally in recent years, mainly due to obesity. Many other risk factors are well known. Identifying those at high risk of type 2 diabetes may guide targeted interventions aimed ... -
Quantum Groups and Noncommutative Complex Geometry.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2013)Noncommutative Riemannian geometry is an area that has seen intense activity over the past 25 years. Despite this, noncommutative complex geometry is only now beginning to receive serious attention. The theory of quantum ... -
Role of Class II Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase PI3K-C2α in pancreatic β cell function
(Queen Mary University of London, 2014-09-14)Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are a family of enzymes that catalyse the synthesis of different lipid second messengers, regulating a plethora of intracellular functions. Deregulation of their signalling pathway has ... -
