Journal Article
Lambie, M., Teece, L., Johnson, D. W., Petrie, M., Mactier, R., Solis-Trapala, I., …Davies, S. J. (2019). Estimating risk of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis accounting for the competing risk of death. Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 1585-1591. https://doi.org/10.1093/ndt/gfz034

Background Risk of Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis (EPS) is strongly associated with the duration of peritoneal dialysis (PD), such that patients who have been on PD for some time may consider elective transfer to haemodialysis to mitigate risk o...

Virtual imaging for patient information on radiotherapy planning and delivery (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Sule-Suso, J., Finney, S., Bisson, J., Hammersley, S., Jassal, S., Knight, C., …Moloney, A. (2016, April). Virtual imaging for patient information on radiotherapy planning and delivery. Poster presented at ESTRO 35, Turin, Italy

Purpose or Objective: To assess whether both patients and their relatives would welcome further information on a oneto-one basis on RT planning and delivery using the virtual reality (VR) system VERT.

Exhaled breath hydrogen cyanide as a marker of early Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in children with cystic fibrosis (2015)
Journal Article
Gilchrist, F. J., Belcher, J., Jones, A. M., Smith, D., Smyth, A. R., Southern, K. W., …Lenney, W. (2015). Exhaled breath hydrogen cyanide as a marker of early Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in children with cystic fibrosis. ERJ Open Research, 1(2), https://doi.org/10.1183/23120541.00044-2015

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...

Measurement of C-reactive protein, procalcitonin and neutrophil elastase in saliva of COPD patients and healthy controls: correlation to self-reported wellbeing parameters (2015)
Journal Article
Patel, N., Belcher, J., Thorpe, G., Forsyth, N. R., & Spiteri, M. A. (2015). Measurement of C-reactive protein, procalcitonin and neutrophil elastase in saliva of COPD patients and healthy controls: correlation to self-reported wellbeing parameters. Respiratory Research, 16, Article 62. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12931-015-0219-1

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.
