Brett SJ, Oates DL, Johnston C, 2005, In-service type IV cracking in a modified 9Cr (grade 91) header, Pages: 563-572
Extensive Type IV cracking has been found on branch and attachment welds on a modified 9Cr (grade 91) header after 58Khrs service. The header was a retrofit component installed on a 500MW unit in 1992. Early inspection of the header was undertaken because it had been established that a number of low nitrogen to aluminium (N:Al) ratio components had been incorporated in its construction. This had been identified as a factor common to earlier premature plant failures in this grade of steel elsewhere in the UK. This paper summarises the background to the inspection of the header, describes the distribution of cracks found, and considers the implications for other components of this type in service elsewhere.

Hills-Wright P, Brett S, 2001, CT scanning in the acute respiratory distress syndrome, Care of the Critically Ill, Vol: 17, Pages: 129-132, ISSN: 0266-0970
The Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a life threatening condition with a high mortality. Computer tomography (CT) has helped us to develop an understanding of the morphological and pathophysiological changes that occur during the course of the disease. This has allowed us to adopt more appropriate ventilation strategies with the aim of not only improving survival but also reducing ventilator associated lung damage for survivors. CT scanning may also be of use in the acute clinical setting in the diagnosis and management of complications, in assessing the progress of the disease and the use of other medical therapies.

Horrocks C, Brett S, 2000, Blast injury, Current Anaesthesia and Critical Care, Vol: 11, Pages: 113-119, ISSN: 0953-7112
Explosions are physical, chemical or nuclear processes that involve the rapid release of considerable amounts of energy. Their deleterious effects on living organisms are embodied by the term 'blast injury' Injuries caused by explosions have increased in frequency throughout this century. This has been caused in part by industrial expansion. More significant has been the proliferation of explosive weapons and their increased use worldwide. The International Committee of the Red Cross has estimated that throughout 70 countries, at least 2000 people are killed or injured every month by anti-personnel mines. The use of explosive devices by terrorist organizations has increased relentlessly, and from time to time civilian doctors are faced with the aftermath of such episodes. Furthermore, many doctors now seek experience of medicine in developing countries and an understanding of blast injury is useful. Explosions and the injuries caused by them are the subject of this review. (C) 2000 Harcourt Publishers Ltd.
