Published this month (open access): Enhancing the Properties of Liquid Crystal Polymers and Elastomers with Nano Magnetic Particles. My contribution to this article was the organic chemistry from my PhD in 2001! @GeoffMitchellUK @MDPIOpenAccess doi.org/10.3390/ma1721…

New article looking at HIV treatments over the years, as well as current best practices: doi.org/10.12968/ippr.… #WorldAidsDay #AIDS

A very brief overview; a more in depth look is coming up in the next issue of International Paramedic Practice...

@maurice_1960 @doctor_oxford The case above is not placebo, it is informed consent and is based on pharmacological evidence (osmosis/Gate Theory) - as well as being ethically sound.

Had an obese lady co back pain. 10ml of nubain IV wouldn't touch it. She wanted lots more. Placebo effect of 10ml sterile water was amazing, virtually danced out because she got more than could legally be given. Getting something that you have been told you cannot have, is powerfully psych inducing for some

Mind-boggling advice from NICE - to use injections of sterile water for pain relief for labouring women. One of the studies cited seriously has sterile water as its active arm &, er, salty water as placebo😳 (ref below). *When* will my profession take women's pain seriously?

@Ashleydalereed A ProfDoc would allow you to start with a review and that should help highlight key questions you can go on to research.

Looking at starting a ProfDoc this year and want to study something valuable and interesting… thinking cardiac arrest/resuscitation anyone know of any key questions that need further study around this? #profdoc #resuscitation #emergencymedicine

@Para_Practice Note: Anticoagulants prevent or reduce coagulation, eg Warfarin inhibits Vit K dependant factors and thus clotting (coagulation) is inhibited. Antiplatelets such as Clopidogrel inhibit platelet aggregation via inhibition of ADP binding to platelet receptor.

Resonates deeply 🙏🏼 Uganda: The story your parents never told you - BBC News bbc.com/news/newsbeat-…

@Para_Practice The abstract incorrectly cites clopididogrel as an anticoagulant. Accuracy of technical details is key here; many paramedic students will be reading this article

If you do just one thing today then watch this. If you voted for this, was it really worth it? #Brexit youtu.be/wO2lWmgEK1Y

Message to Tory MPs. This is who you're voting on.

@randomronil Mort is a great book. Doesn’t need any prior knowledge of Pratchett books.

I've never read a Terry Patchett book is there a best place to start? I've heard everyone rave about the Discworkd series should that be my jumping off point?
