Variance components analyses of multiple asthma traits in a large sample of Australian families ascertained through a twin proband (2006)

Ferreira, M. A. R., OGorman, L., Souef, P. L., Burton, P. R., Toelle, B. G., Robertson, C. F., ...

Background: Intermediate phenotypes are often measured as a proxy for asthma. It is largely unclear to what extent the same set of environmental or genetic factors regulate these traits. Objective:...

South Asian ethnicity and risk of childhood accidents: an ecological study at enumeration district level in Leicester (2002)

Tobin, M. D., Milligan, J., Shukla, R., Crump, B., Burton, P. R.

Background Surveys of ‘self‐reported’ accidents suggest that South Asian children in the United Kingdom may have lower rates of childhood accidents, but little is known about their...

More and better services for people with learning disabilities (1993)

McGrotherp, C. W., Hauck, A., Burton, P. R., Raymond, N. T., Thorp, C. F.

A prevalence study of disability, use of and need for services was undertaken to estimate the need for NHS and other forms of residential, day and respite care for people with severe learning...

The Metabolic Consequences of the Correction of Acidosis in Uraemia (1989)

Jenkins, D., Burton, P. R., Bennett, S. E., Baker, F., Walls, J.

Chronic renal failure is associated with increased protein turnover, and recent evidence suggests that this may be due to the accompanying acidosis. Patients with stable chronic renal failure...

Does Increasing Haemoglobin Concentration and Haematocrit Have a Pressor Effect in Dialysis Patients? (1989)

Williams, B., Edmunds, Mair E., Thompson, J. P., Burton, P. R., Feehally, J., Walls, J.

The haemodynamic consequences of differing rates of rise of haemoglobin and haematocrit in haemodialysis and CAPD patients were examined. Pre-dialysis mean arterial pressure, weight and...

Electron microscopy studies of the limiting layers of the rickettsia Coxiella burneti.

Burton, P R, Stueckemann, J, Paretsky, D

Surface layers of Coxiella burneti studied at a high resoulution reveal a plasma membrane and an outer surface membrane 6 to 7 nm thick, and a thin, moderately electron-dense intermediate layer...

Polarity of axoplasmic microtubules in the olfactory nerve of the frog.

Burton, P R, Paige, J L

Pieces of olfactory nerve of the bullfrog were extracted in a tubulin assembly buffer medium containing detergents. With incubation at 37 degrees C in such medium containing soluble tubulin, ribbons...

Some ultrastructural effects of persistent infections by the rickettsia Coxiella burnetii in mouse L cells and green monkey kidney (Vero) cells.

Burton, P R, Stueckemann, J, Welsh, R M, Paretsky, D

Mouse fibroblasts (L-929) and Vero (green monkey kidney) cells were infected with the rickettsia Coxiella burnetti, and persistent infections developed and were studied over a 6- to 10-month period....

Brain tubulin polymerization in the absence of "microtubule-associated proteins".

Himes, R H, Burton, P R, Kersey, R N, Pierson, G B

Pure tubulin dimer, purified by phosphecellulose chromatography to remove microtubule associated proteins, can be assembled into microtubules in the presence of dimethyl sulfoxide. The surfaces of...

Epidemiological study of wheeze, doctor diagnosed asthma, and cough in preschool children in Leicestershire.

Luyt, D K, Burton, P R, Simpson, H

OBJECTIVE--To determine the cumulative prevalences of wheeze and doctor diagnosed asthma and the point prevalences of recurrent cough and wheeze in children aged 5 years and under....

A polymorphism of the CC16 gene is associated with an increased risk of asthma.

Laing, I A, Goldblatt, J, Eber, E, Hayden, C M, Rye, P J, Gibson, N A, ...

Several quantitative traits associated with the asthma phenotype have been linked to markers on chromosome 11q13, although the gene responsible has yet to be well established. The gene for Clara cell...

Neonatal intensive care cots: estimating the population based requirement in Trent, UK.

Burton, P R, Draper, E, Fenton, A, Field, D

STUDY OBJECTIVES--To estimate the population based requirement for neonatal intensive care (NIC) cots by investigating NIC utilisation in a large population based study. DESIGN AND SETTING--This was...

The effects of inhaled beclomethasone dipropionate on lung function and histamine responsiveness in recurrently wheezy infants.

Stick, S M, Burton, P R, Clough, J B, Cox, M, LeSouëf, P N, Sly, P D

Inhaled steroids improve pulmonary function and bronchial responsiveness in older asthmatics. Data from studies using subjective outcome measures to determine the effectiveness of inhaled steroids in...

Clinical significance not statistical significance: a simple Bayesian alternative to p values

Burton, P. R., Gurrin, L. C., Campbell, M. J.
