Background
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive, multisystem disorder affecting ion transportation across epithelial membranes. Respiratory complications are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality and CF lung disease is characterised...

Environmental ultraviolet-B exposures and measured health outcomes in English children (2019)
Thesis
Walker, J. (2019). Environmental ultraviolet-B exposures and measured health outcomes in English children. (Thesis). Keele University. Retrieved from https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/417800

Purpose
Vitamin D status has been shown to significantly impact extra-skeletal health outcomes. In the UK, the ability of the population to synthesize vitamin D is highly sensitive to environmental factors including ultraviolet-B wavelength light. T...
