Item Comparison of the distribution and nervous innervation of the sensilla on the labrum of Gryllus bimaculatus (De Geer) and Acheta domesticus (L.) (Orthoptera : Gryllidae), and an account of their development in A. domesticus(Elsevier, 1984) Carline, Tom; Kubra, K.; Brown, V.; Beck, R.The labra of Gryllus bimaculatus (De Geer) and Acheta domesticus (L.) (Orthoptera : Gryllidae) were studied to reveal the distribution and nervous innervation of the sensilla, in order to provide morphological evidence of their function. Employing scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy, 9 types of sensilla are reported in G. bimaculatus and 10 types in A. domesticus. Of these sensilla, types 1 - 4 have setae ranging in size from 5 - 420 _m in G. bimaculatus and from 3 - 470 _m in A. domesticus. Secretory pores, coeloconic pegs, basiconic pegs and campaniform sensilla have been recorded in both species, while sensilla ampullacea are only present in A. domesticus. The different types of sensilla are found in discrete groups on the posterior surface of the labrum, but they are more randomly distributed on the anterior surface. The detailed innervation of the sensilla was revealed by means of nickel chloride infusion, followed by intensification using Timm's sulphide - silver technique. The labra of both species are innervated by 2 major branches of the labral nerve. Each sensillum is usually innervated by a bipolar neurone, although some sensilla have been shown to be innervated by multiterminal neurones. The dimensions and shapes of the cell bodies and dendrites are provided and differences between the 2 species are identified. In general, the cell bodies and dendrites are larger in G. bimaculatus than they are in A. domesticus. The development of the sensilla through the nymphal instars to the adult is reported for A. domesticus. It is shown that for some types of sensilla, (types 8 and 13), the number remains constant throughout the developmental period, in some (type 1), the adult complement of sensilla is attained in the early instars, for others, (types 2, 6, 7, 9 and 10), there is a steady increase throughout development, while in others (types 3 and 4), sudden increases occur at specific moults.Item The effectiveness of the three-year chiropody course in preparing for professional life(Routledge Taylor & Francis Group, 1988-01) Dunlop, G.Item The significance to Podiatrists of Drug Interactions(1993) Carline, TomItem Polypharmacy in an Elderly Population - A Review(1993) Carline, TomItem A study to assess the potency of an antibiotic(1993) Carline, TomItem A penicillin in-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection(1993) Carline, TomPaper adds to the growing body of evidence that children can acquire phonological systems before they are able to master the phonetic skills needed to convey the contrasts in that systemItem Sunburn of the lower limb: its avoidance(1994) Carline, TomItem A comparative investigation of the bacterial population of hot air hand dryers and paper towels(1994) Carline, TomOur Research Report for 2000-2002 reflects an outstanding level of achievement throughout the institution and demonstrates once again our high level of commitment to strategic and applied research particularly in areas that enhance the quality of life.Item A survey of the incidence, prevalence and management of chronic pain(1994) Carline, TomItem Lower limb injuries in karate - an incidence survey(1996) Weir, Evelyn C.; Carline, TomItem Obesity: A study to ascertain the relationship to musculoskeletal disorders of the lower limb(The Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists, 1996) Carline, TomItem The management of a pathological fracture of the fourth metatarsal(Elsevier, 1996-09) Carline, Tom; Scott-Angell, N.A patient presented with swelling over the dorsal and lateral aspects of the foot, complaining of severe pain and some neuropathy.

Forty-three podiatry students were invited to complete a semi-structured, self-administered anonymous questionnaire (93% response). The questionnaire focused on expectations, thoughts and reactions of students. The responses revealed the students were ill-prepared for the experience and many did not know what to expect. No positive responses were recorded, with a high number of students (58%) reporting unpleasant physical reactions, nightmares and negative thoughts since the experience. A small number of students (7.5%) found the sessions so disturbing they lost academic content viability. Podiatry students may not anticipate encounters with the dead, and this may account for the relatively high number of disturbing experiences reported.Item The effects of drug abuse on the lower limb - an overview(The Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists, 1997) Carline, Tom; Weir, Evelyn C.
