open access: yes, 2012
BACKGROUND: Although liver function tests (LFTs) are routinely measured in primary care, raised levels in patients with no obvious liver disease may trigger a range of subsequent expensive and unnecessary management plans.

Mapping the Social Network Structure and Composition of Black Individuals With Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Conditions

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Our objective was to describe the social networks of Black individuals with rheumatic and musculoskeletal conditions and understand the clustering of health‐related behaviors to inform future community‐based, peer‐led interventions. Methods We used an adapted Personal Network Survey for Clinical Research (PERSNET) to map the personal social ...

Elevated liver enzymes is not an impediment to allopurinol dose escalation: an observational cohort study

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective Routine liver enzyme monitoring is advocated while on allopurinol but supporting guidance is lacking. We assessed the incidence and factors associated with elevated liver enzymes in gout patients commenced on allopurinol. Methods 150 patients with gout and normal baseline serum aminotransferases initiated on allopurinol were followed ...

3D Bioprinted Glioblastoma Multiforme Models: How the Extracellular Matrix Glycosignature Influences Drug Response

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Aberrant glycosylation in the glioblastoma tumor microenvironment drives therapeutic resistance. Here, a 3D bioprinted model was engineered by incorporating α‐NeuNAc‐(2→3)‐β‐D‐Gal‐ and chondroitin sulfate. Combined multiplex immunofluorescence and synchrotron‐based nanoCT analysis revealed that glycan‐matrix interactions dictate specific drug‐escape ...
