Hendry, J.P., Wilkinson, M., Fallick, A.E., Haszeldine, R.S.

Upper Jurassic Fulmar Formation shelf sandstones of the high- temperature, high-pressure Franklin and Elgin Fields (South Central Graben, North Sea) contain abundant disseminated and concretionary...

Regional distribution of diagenetic carbonate cement in Palaeocene deepwater sandstones: North Sea

Stewart, R.N.T., Haszeldine, R.S., Fallick, A.E., Wilkinson, M., Macaulay, C.I.

Sandstones of the Palaeocene Montrose Group were deposited in a deepwater fan environment, and form a major oil reservoir in the North Sea. Calcite concretions occur commonly within thick- bedded and...

Siderite zonation within the Brent Group: microbial influence or aquifer flow?

Wilkinson, M., Haszeldine, R.S., Fallick, A.E., Osborne, M.J.

A three-fold zonation can he imaged within authigenic siderite from sandstones of the Brent Group using back-scatter SEM techniques. We interpret this zonation in terms of the biogeochemical zonation...

Phylogenetic relationships of Indian caecilians (Amphibia: Gymnophiona) inferred from mitochondrial rRNA gene sequences

Wilkinson, M., Sheps, J. A., Oommen, O. V., Cohen, B. L.

India has a diverse caecilian fauna, including representatives of three of the six currently recognized families, the Caeciliidae, Ichthyophiidae, the endemic Uraeotyphlidae, but previous molecular...

Phylogenetic relationships of African Caecilians (Amphibia: Gymnophiona): insights from mitochondrial rRNA gene sequences

Wilkinson, M., Loader, S. P., Gower, D. J., Sheps, J. A., Cohen, B. L.

Africa (excluding the Seychelles) has a diverse caecilian fauna, including the endemic family Scolecomorphidae and six endemic genera of the more cosmopolitan Caeciliidae. Previous molecular...

Osteoporosis and skeletal fractures in chronic liver disease.

Diamond, T, Stiel, D, Lunzer, M, Wilkinson, M, Roche, J, Posen, S

In order to determine the prevalence and severity of hepatic osteodystrophy by non-invasive means we compared 115 consecutive ambulant patients with histologically proven chronic liver disease to 113...

The use of the accident and emergency department.

Driscoll, P A, Vincent, C A, Wilkinson, M

Many studies have shown that a high proportion of patients attending accident and emergency (A&E) departments have only trivial or non-urgent complaints. A&E staff treat these inappropriate attenders...

Use of routinely collected data on trihalomethane in drinking water for epidemiological purposes

Keegan, T, Whitaker, H, Nieuwenhuijsen, M, Toledano, M, Elliott, P, Fawell, J, ...

OBJECTIVES—To explore the use of routinely collected trihalomethane (THM) measurements for epidemiological studies. Recently there has been interest in the relation between byproducts of...

Ciliary beat frequency in newborn infants.

O'Callaghan, C, Smith, K, Wilkinson, M, Morgan, D, Priftis, K

The ciliary beat frequencies of 31 newborns and 14 adults were measured in vitro by a photodiode method at body temperature (37 degrees C). The mean (SD) neonatal ciliary beat frequency (12.7 (0.82)...

Skeletal changes in preterm infants.

Koo, W W, Gupta, J M, Nayanar, V V, Wilkinson, M, Posen, S

The skeletal changes in 19 very low birthweight infants (less than 1500 g) were observed from birth to 10 weeks, by means of clinical, biochemical, and radiological techniques. All infants were...

Neonatal presentation of Caroli's disease

Keane, F, Wilkinson, M, Qureshi, S, Reid, C, Baker, A, Mieli-Vergani, G

A neonatal presentation of Caroli's disease with severe cardiac and progressive renal pathology is described. The availability of small paediatric endoscopes ensured early diagnosis. Despite...

The outcome of pregnancy in women suffering from migraine.

Wainscott, G., Sullivan, F. M., Volans, G. N., Wilkinson, M.

The reproductive histories of 777 women suffering from migraine were compared with 182 non-migrainous women. The incidence of miscarriage, stillbirth and toxaemia of pregnancy was very similar in...

Evidence for a weak angiogenic response to human colorectal cancers.

Pritchard, A. J., Chatterjee, T., Wilkinson, M., Powe, D. G., Gray, T., Hewitt, R. E.

Many previous qualitative studies have shown that tumours are less vascular in the centre, and that host tissues become more vascular in close proximity to tumours. However, quantitative findings...

The tumour stroma of oral squamous cell carcinomas show increased vascularity compared with adjacent host tissue.

Dunstan, S., Powe, D. G., Wilkinson, M., Pearson, J., Hewitt, R. E.

For tumours to grow they must acquire an adequate blood supply, and the use of drugs to inhibit tumour vascularization is one promising approach to anti-cancer therapy. Clear information is therefore...
