Advancing speech pathology practice: lessons from an autoethnography
(Centre for Clinical Research Excellence (CCRE), 2012)It has been suggested that balancing ‘technical skills with a ‘human approach’ may promote a client-centred approach to treatment and may be more consistent with what clients see as important in rehabilitation. This ... -
Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students (ASSIST) in an introductory course in chemistry
(The University of Wollongong, 2015)Approaches to study and learning may enhance or undermine educational outcomes, and thus it is important for educators to be knowledgeable about their students’ approaches to study and learning. TheApproaches and Study ... -
Assessing the Test–retest Repeatability of Insulin Resistance Measures: Homeostasis Model Assessment 2 and Oral Glucose Insulin Sensitivity
(African Online Scientific Information Systems (AOSIS), 2017)Background: Insulin resistance is commonly assessed using the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) variants. HOMA is potentially insensitive to change because of its high coefficient of variation. The repeatability coefficient ... -
Attitude to Physiology in Undergraduate Nursing, Midwifery, and Paramedicine Students
(Timeline Publication, 2016)Studying introductory human physiology is an essential part of the nursing, midwifery, and paramedicine university curriculum. Academic success is important, although attitude also contributes to an undergraduate’s experience. ... -
Attitude to the subject of chemistry in nursing and health science undergraduate students
(Timeline Publication, 2018)Nurses require an understanding of biological sciences but may fear chemistry. We quantified attitude to chemistry in both nursing students, and health science students. Attitude toward the Subject of Chemistry Inventory ... -
Attitudes Towards Science Among Senior Secondary Students in Fiji
(Wilf Malcolm Institute of Educational Research, 2020)In order to investigate gender and ethnicity-based differences in scientific attitudes among Fijian students, the widely studied Test of Scientific Related Attitudes (TOSRA) was administered to 1401 senior secondary Fijian ... -
Breast carcinoma is a multifactorial disease involving FOXN3, SINA3 and NEAT through repression of GATA3 and TJP
(Pioneer Bioscience Publishing Company (PBPC), 2018)No abstract. -
Can the Molar Insulin: C-Peptide Ratio Be Used to Predict Hyperinsulinaemia?
(MDPI, 2020)Hyperinsulinaemia is the precursor to numerous metabolic disorders. Early diagnosis and intervention could improve population health. Diagnosing hyperinsulinaemia is problematic because insulin has a very short half-life ... -
Carbon-carbon Double Bond and Resorcinol in Resveratrol and Its Analogues: What Is the Characteristic Structure in Quenching Singlet Oxygen?
(MDPI AG, 2019)Stilbenes, particularly resveratrol and resveratrol dimers, could effectively quench singlet oxygen (1O2). It was reported that both resorcinol and carbon-carbon double bond quenching 1O2 can participate in the mechanism. ... -
Cluster Analysis of Assessment in a Compulsory Human Physiology Course for Health Science Undergraduates
(Higher Education Research and Development Society of Australasia (HERDSA), 2015)No abstract. -
Cluster Analysis of Assessment in Anatomy and Physiology for Health Science Undergraduates
(International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (IJTLHE), 2016)Academic content common to health science programs is often taught to a mixed group of students; however, content assessment may be consistent for each discipline. This study used a retrospective cluster analysis on such ... -
Combining Multiple Serum Biomarkers in Tumor Diagnosis: A Clinical Assessment
(Spandidos Publications, 2013)The present study aimed to assess the diagnostic/ prognostic value of various clinical tumor markers, including carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), cytokeratin 19 (CYFRA21-1), α-fetoprotein (AFP), ... -
Covalently Immobilized Battacin Lipopeptide Gels With Activity Against Bacterial Biofilms
(MDPI AG, 2020)Novel antibiotic treatments are in increasing demand to tackle life-threatening infections from bacterial pathogens. In this study, we report the use of a potent battacin lipopeptide as an antimicrobial gel to inhibit ... -
Cytotoxicity of Extracts From New Zealand Surf Clams Against Organ Cancer Cell Lines
(MDPI, 2019)In this study, we examined the cytotoxic effects of four fractions from three species of New Zealand (NZ) surf clam on four common organ cancer cells. In most cases, a dose- and time-dependent inhibition on the proliferation ... -
Determining a Diagnostic Algorithm for Hyperinsulinaemia
Background: Ascertaining Kraft dynamic insulin response patterns following a 3-h 100 g oral glucose tolerance test seems to be the most reliable method for diagnosing hyperinsulinaemia. However, this test may be too ... -
Early Detection of Risk for Type 2 Diabetes and Sugary Drinks Intake
(MDPI, 2019)In New Zealand, the incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing in Pacific youth. A high intake of sugary drinks has been proposed as an explanation. Glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a widely used biomarker which ... -
Effect of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells-derived Exosomes on Diabetes-induced Retinal Injury: Implication of Wnt/ B-catenin Signaling Pathway
(Elsevier BV, 2022)Background Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a serious microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus. Mesenchymal stem cells are currently studied as therapeutic strategy for management of DR. Exosomes, considered as a ... -
Effect of Lactobacillus Rhamnosus Probiotic in Early Pregnancy on Plasma Conjugated Bile Acids in a Randomised Controlled Trial
(MDPI AG, 2021)We have previously shown that probiotic supplementation with Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 (HN001) led to a reduced incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Here we investigate whether HN001 supplementation resulted ... -
