Tranquilliser use as a risk factor for falls in hospital patients (2006)
Vassallo, M., Vignaraja, R., Sharma, J., Briggs, R., Allen, S.
This study looked at associations of tranquilliser use and falls risk in a hospital population of confused and nonconfused patients. In a prospective observational study in a rehabilitation hospital...
The relationship of falls to injury among hospital in-patients (2005)
Vassallo, M., Vignaraja, R., Sharma, J. C., Briggs, R., Allen, S.
The need to reduce falls is driven by the need to reduce injury. If patients at risk of injury can be distinguished from the patients at risk of falls, there is the potential for a more effective...
Vassallo, M., Vignaraja, R., Sharma, J. C., Hallam, H., Binns, K., Briggs, R., ...
Objectives: To determine whether a change in practice to introduce a multidisciplinary fall-prevention program can reduce falls and injury in nonacute patients in a rehabilitation hospital. Design: A...
Vance, G.H., Grimshaw, K.E., Briggs, R., Lewis, S.A., Mullee, M.A., Thornton, C.A., ...
Background: The value of allergen elimination diets during pregnancy for primary prevention of infant allergy has been questioned. However, dietary compliance may influence effectiveness. Objectives:...
Polymorphism of the IGF2 gene, birth weight and grip strength in adult men (2002)
Aihie-Sayer, Avan, Syddall, Holly, O'Dell, Sandra D., Chen, Xiao-He, Briggs, Patricia J., Briggs, R., ...
BACKGROUND: Grip strength is a simple measure of skeletal muscle function but a powerful predictor of disability, morbidity and mortality. Recent evidence has shown that prenatal and infant growth...

Rutkowski, HL, Reginato, LL, Waldron, WL, Chow, KP, Vella, MC, Fawley, WM, ...
The second phase accelerator for the Dual Axis Hydrodynamic Test facility (DARHT) is designed to provide an electron beam pulse that is 2 microsec long, 2kA, and 20 MeV in particle energy. The...
Accelerator Production of Tritium (APT), (1998)
Drell, S., Briggs, R., Brodsky, R., Callan, C., Dietz, R. J.
There is continuing interest in Accelerator Production of Tritium (APT) because, the lack of uranium, plutonium, and fission product inventory; the low residual radioactivity and heat; the low...
Stein, G, Lian, J, Stein, J, Briggs, R, Shalhoub, V, Wright, K, ...
Two sites of protein-DNA interaction have been identified in vivo and in vitro in the proximal promoter regions of an H4 and an H3 human histone gene. In proliferating cells, these genes are...
Craven, P A, Briggs, R, DeRubertis, F R
When urea and NaCl are employed as the major solutes of high osmolality buffers, the cyclic AMP (cAMP) content of oxygenated slices of rat renal inner medulla increases three- to fivefold as...
Baselski, V, Briggs, R, Parker, C
The diarrheal response of orally inoculated infant mice to viable Vibrio cholerae and purified cholera toxin was quantitated by means of a fluid accumulation (FA) ratio. The FA ratio is defined as...
