  • Culturally adapting the prevention of diabetes and obesity in South Asians (Podosa) trial

    Open AccessSunita Wallia, Raj S Bhopal et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2014

    Type 2 diabetes is extremely common in South Asians, e.g. in men from Pakistani and Indian populations it is about three times as likely as in the general population in England, despite similarities in body mass index. Lifestyle interventions reduce the incidence of diabetes. Trials in Europe and North America have not, however, reported on the impact on South Asian populations separately or provided the details of their cross-cultural adaptation…

  • P51 Surviving intensive care

    N I Lone, Nazir Lone et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2010

    Background Intensive care units (ICUs) are an expensive resource. However, this expense does not end at hospital discharge. ICU survivors continue to experience significant morbidity. As the demand for ICU is likely to increase substantially, there is a need to establish how much health care resource survivors consume following discharge from hospital. This will enable appropriate service planning and policy development to meet the needs of these…

  • The Dance of Ego and Self

    Gordon MurrayARTICLEJung Journal2009

    The author reviews the memoir of somatic psychologist and former Jesuit Don Johnson, whose family were early pioneers in the development of Sacramento. Johnson chronicles the tension between his family's down-to-earth hopes for a better life and their utopian dreams of radical transformation, against the background of physical and cultural changes that swept over California's Central Valley during the twentieth century. In describing with intelli…

  • Peripheral Levels of Fibrinogen, C-Reactive Protein, and Plasma Viscosity Predict Future Cognitive Decline in Individuals Without Dementia

    Riccardo E Marioni, Marlene C Stewart et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2009

    Objective: To determine whether circulating levels of the biomarkers C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen, plasma viscosity, and hematocrit were associated with cognitive decline in middle-aged to elderly people. Methods: Subjects consisted of 2312 men and women aged 50 to 80 years participating in the Aspirin for Asymptomatic Atherosclerosis Trial, all of whom were free of symptomatic cardiovascular disease at baseline. Biomarker levels and cogn…

    MURRAY G. C. (1998) A policy response to regional disparities in the supply of risk capital to new technology-based firms in the European Union: the European Seed Capital Fund Scheme, Reg. Studies 32 , 405-419. The European Seed Capital Fund Pilot Scheme (1988-95) was a European Commission response to two primary concerns that: (1) private venture capital firms in Europe were increasingly retreating from the financing and support of start-up, ear…

  • The declining Pictish symbol - a reappraisal

    Gordon MurrayARTICLEProceedings of the Society of…1987

    The earliest, most classical carvings of the crescent and V-rod, the double disc with Z-rod, and the Pictish beast are found in three distinct, fairly localized areas and can be ascribed to slightly different dates. The sequence of decline into simplified forms offers a method of determining the relative ages of individual examples. F B

  • Pre-term Foetal Life Times in Scotland

    Ruth M Pickering, Ruth Pickering et al.ARTICLEPopulation Studies1986Cited by: 2

    A proportional hazards model was used to evaluate the association between ten categorical covariates and the risk of pre-term delivery for women having their first child and women in subsequent pregnancies. An adaptation of the model for use with grouped survival times made it possible to model foetal life times between 28 and 36 completed weeks of gestation for 67,000 Scottish singleton births in 1981. The use of the model was justified by testi…

  • A Stochastic Model for Measles Epidemics in a Multi-Region Setting

    G D Murray, Gordon Murray et al.ARTICLETransactions of the Institute of…1977Cited by: 9

    In this paper, a regionally based stochastic model for the diffusion of measles epidemics is developed. The model is tested with an application to ten contiguous sub-areas centred on Bristol. IN this paper we explore some ways in which a stochastic version of the classic Hamer-Soper deterministic model for measles epidemics (Soper, 1929) may be extended to analyse patterns of measles outbreaks in a regional setting. The models developed are appli…
