Journal Article
Martín-Aragón Baudel, M. A. S., Rae, M. T., Darlison, M. G., Poole, A. V., & Fraser, J. A. (2017)
Preferential activation of HIF-2α adaptive signalling in neuronal-like cells in response to acute hypoxia. PLOS ONE, 12(10), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0185664
Stroke causes severe neuronal damage as disrupted cerebral blood flow starves neurons of oxygen and glucose. The hypoxia inducible factors (HIF-1α and HIF-2α) orchestrate oxyg...

Thesis
Mahoney, C. M. An Investigation into Maintaining Naso-gastric Feeding for Stroke Patients: A Mixed Methods Design. (Thesis)
Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2744
Background
Dysphagia is common after stroke, so feeding through a naso-gastric (NG) tube may be necessary. NG tubes are frequently dislodged, potentially causing feed or fluid...
