Quantitative assessment of gastric atrophy using the syntactic structure analysis.
Zaitoun, A M, Al Mardini, H, Record, C O
AIM: To assess the topographical relation between gastric glands, using the minimum spanning tree (MST), to derive both a model of neighbourhood and quantitative representation of the tissue's...

A pilot study of fluticasone propionate in untreated coeliac disease.
Mitchison, H C, Al Mardini, H, Gillespie, S, Laker, M, Zaitoun, A, Record, C O
Although gluten withdrawal is likely to remain the mainstay of treatment for adult coeliac disease, many patients find the diet inconvenient and unpalatable and compliance among asymptomatic patients...

The value of lactulose treatment in hepatic encephalopathy is widely recognised but its mode of action remains controversial. Much evidence supports a role for gamma-aminobutyric acid in hepatic...
Blood and brain concentrations of mercaptans in hepatic and methanethiol induced coma.
Al Mardini, H, Bartlett, K, Record, C O
It has been suggested that mercaptans are important factors in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy. Using a gas liquid chromatographic technique which uses propanethiol as internal standard...
