Background
A growing number of studies report cognitive impairment after chemotherapy; indeed the phenomenon of chemo-fog is now almost universally accepted. We are concerned however that there is little if any consistency in the way in which patien...

Effects of glutathione S-transferase M1, T1 and P1 on lung function in asthmatic families. (2005)
Journal Article

RATIONALE: Previous data have suggested that glutathione-S-transferase (GST) genotypes are important in determining the rate of lung function growth in childhood. This effect was most marked in Caucasian children with asthma. OBJECTIVES: We investiga... Read More about Effects of glutathione S-transferase M1, T1 and P1 on lung function in asthmatic families..

Regression analysis of overdispersed correlated count data with subject specific covariates. (2005)
Journal Article
Solis-Trapala, I., & Farewell, V. (2005). Regression analysis of overdispersed correlated count data with subject specific covariates. Statistics in Medicine, 24(16), 2557-2575. https://doi.org/10.1002/sim.2121

A robust likelihood approach for the analysis of overdispersed correlated count data that takes into account cluster varying covariates is proposed. We emphasise two characteristics of the proposed method: That the correlation structure satisfies the...

Book Chapter
Hodgson, P., & Canvin, K. (2013). Translating health policy into research practice. In Involving Service Users in Health and Social Care Research. (1). Taylor & Francis (Routledge)

The aim of this chapter is to explore and critically appraise the recent moves towards consumer involvement in health research. The UK government has attempted to initiate cultural shifts in how health research is undertaken through policy documents... Read More about Translating health policy into research practice.

Severely disabling chronic pain in young adults: prevalence from a population-based postal survey in North Staffordshire (2005)
Journal Article
(2005). Severely disabling chronic pain in young adults: prevalence from a population-based postal survey in North Staffordshire. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 42 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2474-6-42

Background
Severely disabling chronic pain in the adult population is strongly associated with a range of negative health consequences for individuals and high health care costs, yet its prevalence in young adults is less clear.

Methods
All adul... Read More about Severely disabling chronic pain in young adults: prevalence from a population-based postal survey in North Staffordshire.

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 41. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2474-6-41

Low back pain (LBP) is a common and costly problem. Initiatives designed to assist practitioner and patient decisions about appropriate healthcare for LBP include printed evidence-based clinical guidelines. The three professional groups of chiropract...

Maternal glutathione S-transferase GSTP1 genotype is a specific predictor of phenotype in children with asthma. (2005)
Journal Article
Carroll, W., Lenney, W., Child, F., Strange, R., Jones, P., & Fryer, A. (2005). Maternal glutathione S-transferase GSTP1 genotype is a specific predictor of phenotype in children with asthma. Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, 16(1), 32 - 39. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1399-3038.2005.00249.x

Maternal factors are known to influence the heritability and expression of asthma and atopy. We report the association of maternal, paternal and proband GSTP1 genotype with lung function in 145 Caucasian children with asthma. GSTP1 Val105/Val105 and...
