Developing a handheld record for patients with cystic fibrosis (2015)
Journal Article
Narayan, O., Davies, S., Tibbins, C., Rees, J., Lenney, W., & Gilchrist, F. (2015). Developing a handheld record for patients with cystic fibrosis. Patient Related Outcome Measures, 2015(6), 225 - 228. https://doi.org/10.2147/PROM.S86298

Patient handheld records (PHHRs) promote self-management and empower the holder to take a more active role in the management of their disease. They have been used successfully in improving preventative care for children and have contributed to improv... Read More about Developing a handheld record for patients with cystic fibrosis.

The sensitivity and specificity of pseudomonas aeruginosa detection using hydrogen cyanide concentration in exhaled breath - The SPACE study (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Gilchrist, F., Jones, A., Webb, K., Smith, D., & Lenney, W. (2014, September). The sensitivity and specificity of pseudomonas aeruginosa detection using hydrogen cyanide concentration in exhaled breath - The SPACE study. Presented at ERS 22nd Annual Congress 2014, Munich, Germany

Introduction Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is an in-vitro marker of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA). This is the first in-vivo study to investigate if HCN is an early marker of PA infection in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). Methods Children who ha...

The screening and diagnosis of cystic fibrosis-related diabetes in the United Kingdom (2014)
Journal Article
Wickens-Mitchell, K. L., Gilchrist, F. J., McKenna, D., Raffeeq, P., & Lenney, W. (2014). The screening and diagnosis of cystic fibrosis-related diabetes in the United Kingdom. Journal of Cystic Fibrosis, 13(5), 589-592. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcf.2014.01.008

Introduction The cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) guidelines produced by the UK CF Trust differ from those used in Europe and the US. We conducted a study to establish current practice. Method Paediatric and adult questionnaires were devi... Read More about The screening and diagnosis of cystic fibrosis-related diabetes in the United Kingdom.

Asthma severity and atopy: how clear is the relationship? (2006)
Journal Article
Carroll, W. D., Lenney, W., Child, F., Strange, R. C., Jones, P. W., Whyte, M. K., …Fryer, A. A. (2006). Asthma severity and atopy: how clear is the relationship?. Archives of Disease in Childhood, 91(5), 405 - 409. https://doi.org/10.1136/adc.2005.088278

BACKGROUND: The relationship between asthma severity and atopy is complex. Many studies have failed to show significant relationships between clinical severity or lung function and markers of atopic sensitisation. AIM: To determine whether increasing...

Effects of glutathione S-transferase M1, T1 and P1 on lung function in asthmatic families. (2005)
Journal Article
Carroll, W., Lenney, W., Jones, P., Strange, R., Child, F., Whyte, M., …Fryer, A. (2005). Effects of glutathione S-transferase M1, T1 and P1 on lung function in asthmatic families. Clinical and Experimental Allergy, 35(9), 1155 - 1161. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2222.2005.02313.x

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..

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...
