Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiovascular responses to insertion of the laryngeal mask.
TL;DR: It is concluded that insertion of the laryngeal mask airway is accompanied by smaller cardiovascular responses than those after laryngoscopy and intubation and that its use may be indicated in those patients in whom a marked pressor response would be deleterious.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-syngas direct steam reforming of methanol to hydrogen and carbon dioxide at low temperature
Kai Man Kerry Yu,Weiyi Tong,Weiyi Tong,Adam H. C. West,Kevin Cheung,Tong Li,George Davey Smith,Yanglong Guo,Shik Chi Edman Tsang +8 more
TL;DR: It is reported that high quality hydrogen and carbon dioxide can be produced in a single-step reaction over the catalyst, with no detectable CO (below detection limit of 1 ppm) and can be used to supply proton exchange membrane fuel cells for mobile applications without invoking any CO shift and cleanup stages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association Between Birth Weight and Blood Pressure Is Robust, Amplifies With Age, and May Be Underestimated
TL;DR: The association between birth weight and systolic blood pressure in a large cohort is retest, whether age interacts with birth weight to predict blood pressure is examined, and reasons why birth weight-blood pressure associations tend to weaken with increasing study size are explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of obesity in smoking behaviour: Mendelian randomisation study in UK Biobank.
Robert Carreras-Torres,Mattias Johansson,Philip C Haycock,Caroline L Relton,George Davey Smith,Paul Brennan,Richard M. Martin,Richard M. Martin +7 more
TL;DR: It is strongly suggested that higher adiposity influences smoking behaviour and could have implications for the implementation of public health interventions aiming to reduce the prevalence of these important risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social mobility and 21 year mortality in a cohort of Scottish men
TL;DR: There was little evidence that social mobility itself was associated with mortality outcomes different from those expected on the basis of lifetime socioeconomic experience, consistent with the suggestion that the main influence of socioeconomic position on mortality risk is an accumulative one, acting across the lifecourse.
