A model to predict psychological- and health-related adjustment in men with prostate cancer: the role of post traumatic growth, physical post traumatic growth, resilience and mindfulness
(Frontiers Media SA, 2018-02-15)
Background: Post traumatic growth (PTG) can be defined as positive change following a traumatic event. The current conceptualization of PTG encompasses five main dimensions, however, there is no dimension which accounts ...
riboSeed: leveraging prokaryotic genomic architecture to assemble across ribosomal regions
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2018-01-01)
The vast majority of bacterial genome sequencing has been performed using Illumina short reads. Because of the inherent difficulty of resolving repeated regions with short reads alone, only similar to 10% of sequencing ...

(MDPI AG, 2018-03-20)
Listeria monocytogenes is a major human foodborne pathogen that is prevalent in the natural environment and has a high case fatality rate. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) analysis has emerged as a valuable methodology for ...
Evaluation of an internally controlled multiplex tth endonuclease cleavage loop-meditated isothermal amplification (tec-lamp) assay for the detection of bacterial meningitis pathogens
(MDPI AG, 2018-02-09)
Bacterial meningitis infection is a leading global health concern for which rapid and accurate diagnosis is essential to reduce associated morbidity and mortality. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) offers an ...
Identifying trial recruitment uncertainties using a james lind alliance priority setting partnership – the priority (prioritising recruitment in randomised trials) study
(Springer Nature, 2018-03-01)
Background: Despite the problem of inadequate recruitment to randomised trials, there is little evidence to guide researchers on decisions about how people are effectively recruited to take part in trials. The PRioRiTy ...
