'Ghost of the Future,' he exclaimed, 'I fear you more than any spectre I have seen. But as I know your purpose is to do me good, and as I hope to live to be another man from what I was, I am prepared to bear you company, and do it with a thankful hea...

An investigation into first year medical students' competence and honesty in recording blood pressure (BP) using a life/form blood pressure simulator (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Patten, D., Roberts, J., Gott, R., & Nunn, S. (2023, August). An investigation into first year medical students' competence and honesty in recording blood pressure (BP) using a life/form blood pressure simulator. Presented at Association for Medical Education in Europe (AMEE) Conference 2005, Amsterdam

Ability to accurately measure BP is a core skill required of undergraduate medics. Studies suggest that there are still deficiencies in the teaching and performance of BP measurement, but there is a paucity of data regarding students’ honesty/profess...

An electrophysiological study of the effects of propofol on native neuronal ligand-gated ion channels (2001)
Journal Article
Patten, D., Foxon, G., Martin, K., & Halliwell, R. (2001). An electrophysiological study of the effects of propofol on native neuronal ligand-gated ion channels. Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, 28(5-6), 451-458. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1440-1681.2001.03469.x

1. Pharmacological evidence suggests that some of the clinical actions of propofol may be mediated, at least in part, by positive modulation of the GABAA receptor chloride channel. The effect of propofol at other native neuronal ligand-gated ion chan... Read More about An electrophysiological study of the effects of propofol on native neuronal ligand-gated ion channels.

A new insecticidal toxin Tx4(5-5) was isolated from the fraction PhTx4 of the venom of the spider Phoneutria nigriventer by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and anion exchange HPLC. The complete amino acid sequence determin...
