Pathogenesis of post surgical adhesions and prevention using a novel fibrin sealant
Post surgical adhesions (PSAs) are an inevitable outcome of surgery and their presence leads to pathogeneses and significant economic impact. The studies within this thesis utilised standard and reproducible abrasion models, in rabbits, pigs and rats, to investigate the formation and maturation of …

Self-Distancing as a Persuasive Amplifier for Increasing Help-Seeking among People with Depression
… the negativity of thoughts in response to the D-PSAs were measured. The results of study 1 showed that viewing the D-PSA from a self-distanced perspective improved help-seeking attitudes in comparison to the immersive and control condition, and reduced negative thoughts compared to the immersive …
