Journal Article
Ditchfield, N., Carroll, W., & Gilchrist, F. (2019). Unwarranted use of intravenous aminoglycosides at UK paediatric cystic fibrosis centres. Journal of Cystic Fibrosis, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcf.2019.09.004

Highlights

IV aminoglycosides are frequently used to treat infective exacerbations in CF due to efficacy against PA.

The side effects of aminoglycosides include nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity and vestibulotoxicity.

More than one third of UK CF... Read More about Unwarranted use of intravenous aminoglycosides at UK paediatric cystic fibrosis centres.

Antiepileptic drugs and the fetal epigenome (2012)
Journal Article
Emes, R. D., Clifford, H., Haworth, K. E., Farrell, W. E., Fryer, A. A., Carroll, W. D., …KM, I. (2013). Antiepileptic drugs and the fetal epigenome. Epilepsia, 54(1), e16-e19. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1528-1167.2012.03673.x

Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) can lower maternal folate and increase maternal homocysteine levels, which are known to affect the methyl cycle and hence DNA methylation levels. The influence of in utero exposure to AEDs on fetal DNA methylation was inves... Read More about Antiepileptic drugs and the fetal epigenome.

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...
