Influence of X chromosome and hormones on human brain development: A magnetic resonance imaging and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy study of Turner syndrome (2006)

Cutter, W.J., Daly, E.M., Robertson, D.M.W., Chitnis, X.A., Simmons, A., ...

Background: Women with Turner syndrome (TS; 45,X) lack a normal second X chromosome, and many are prescibed exogenous sex and growth hormones (GH). Hence, the allow its an opportunity to investigate...

Long-term in vivo biostability of poly(dimethylsiloxane)/poly(hexamethylene oxide) mixed macrodiol-based polyurethane elastomers (2004)

Simmons, A, Hyvarinen, J, Odell, RA, Martin, DJ, Gunatillake, PA, Noble, KR, ...

The long-term biostability of a novel thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (Elast-Eon(TM) 2 80A) synthesized using poly(hexamethylene oxide) (PHMO) and poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) macrodiols has...

Long-term in vivo biostability of poly(dimethylsiloxane)/poly(hexamethylene oxide) mixed macrodiol-based polyurethane elastomers (2004)

A Simmons, J Hyvarinen, R Odell, D J Martin, P A Gunatillake, K R Noble, ...

I developed methods for this long-term significant biostability implant study (4yrs work, hundreds of test specimens) and was heavily involved in the data analysis. The novel siloxane-based...

Neural correlates of British Sign Language comprehension: spatial processing demands of topographic language (2002)

MacSweeney, M., Woll, B., Campbell, R., Calvert, G.A., McGuire, P.K., David, A.S., ...

In all signed languages used by deaf people, signs are executed in “sign space” in front of the body. Some signed sentences use this space to map detailed “real-world” spatial relationships...

Measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination and bowel problems or developmental regression in children with autism: population study (2002)

Taylor, B., Miller, E., Lingam, R., Andrews, N., Simmons, A., Stowe, J.

Objectives: To investigate whether measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccination is associated with bowel problems and developmental regression in children with autism, looking for evidence of a "new...

MRI based diffusion and perfusion predictive model to estimate stroke evolution (2001)

Rose, S. E., Chalk, J. B., Griffin, M. P., Janke, A. L., Chen, F., Mclachlan, G. J., ...

In this study we present a novel automated strategy for predicting infarct evolution, based on MR diffusion and perfusion images acquired in the acute stage of stroke. The validity of this...

Prefrontal cortex involvement in selective letter generation: A functional magnetic resonance imaging study (1998)

De Zubicaray, GI, Williams, SCR, Wilson, SJ, Rose, SE, Brammer, MJ, Bullmore, ET, ...

Cerebral responses to alternating periods of a control task and a selective letter generation paradigm were investigated with functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). Subjects selectively...

Magnetic resonance markers of ischaemia: their correlation with vasodilatory reserve in patients with carotid artery stenosis and occlusion

Lythgoe, D, Simmons, A, Pereira, A, Cullinane, M, Williams, S, Markus, H

OBJECTIVES—Better methods of identifying patients with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis who are at high risk of stroke are required. It has been suggested that proton magnetic resonance...

Prevalence of autism and parentally reported triggers in a north east London population

Lingam, R, Simmons, A, Andrews, N, Miller, E, Stowe, J, Taylor, B

Background: The recorded prevalence of autistic spectrum disorders has risen over recent decades. Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine has been blamed, by causing a "new variant" form of...

Lateralisation of language function in young adults born very preterm

Rushe, T, Temple, C, Rifkin, L, Woodruff, P, Bullmore, E, Stewart, A, ...

Objective: To explore, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the functional organisation of phonological processing in young adults born very preterm.
