Hydrogen cyanide is readily detected in the headspace above Pseudomonas aeruginosa cultures and in the breath of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with chronic (P. aeruginosa) infection. We investigated if exhaled breath HCN is an early marker of P. aeru...

BACKGROUND: Saliva is increasingly promoted as an alternative diagnostic bio-sample to blood; however its role in respiratory disease requires elucidation. Our aim was to investigate whether C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT) and neutrophi...

Pilot study on virtual imaging for patient information on radiotherapy planning and delivery (2015)
Journal Article
Sule-Suso, J., Finney, S., Bisson, J., Hammersley, S., Jassel, S., Knight, R., …Moloney, A. (2015). Pilot study on virtual imaging for patient information on radiotherapy planning and delivery. Radiography, 273-277. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2015.02.002

It is widely accepted that health professionals might sometimes underestimate cancer patients' needs for information on the complex process of radiotherapy (RT) planning and delivery. Furthermore, relatives might also feel excluded from the treatment... Read More about Pilot study on virtual imaging for patient information on radiotherapy planning and delivery.
