Immunomodulatory effects of the filarial nematode product, ES-62, and phosphorylcholine-based small molecule analogues S3 and S5 in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
… EAE severity in reducing recovery time and clinical scores but the results were not statistically significant. Our results show that S5 delayed disease onset, and S3 reducedanimal weight loss. However treatments with ES-62, S5 and S3 only showed a trend of reducing EAE severity in reducing …

Investigating the protective effects of intestinal GABA[subscript A] receptor activation on an animal model of Multiple Sclerosis
… We observed a significant treatment effect on clinical scores, as well as immune cell infiltration. Seeking to determine if these effects were due to GABAA receptor activation or other anti-inflammatory effects of farnesol, we investigated whether modifying mice microbiota with GABA-producing …

De-Contextualised Risk Information in the Primary Care Consultation
… significant diagnoses is the use of routine clinical scores or risk assessment tools. These tools provide clinicians with information on potential high-risk diagnoses, often without a direct request from the clinician. This PhD dissertation examines how this information, referred to as …

Investigating the protective effects of farnesol formations against neuroinflammation
… EAE mice. FOL significantly reduced the average clinical scores of EAE mice when compared to untreated mice and vehicle-treated mice. The protective effect was associated with a significant reduction of CD4+ T cell spinal cord infiltration in FOL-treated mice as assessed by flow cytometry. …
