Can tumour antigens act as biomarkers for the early detection of non-small cell lung cancer? (2024)
Journal Article
Mohamed, E., Fletcher, D., Hart, S., & Guinn, B.-A. (2024). Can tumour antigens act as biomarkers for the early detection of non-small cell lung cancer?. Onco, 4(2), 87-100. https://doi.org/10.3390/onco4020008

Lung cancer (LC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. Pulmonary nodules are one of the risk factors and their discovery rate has been increasing due to enhanced performance of chest CT scans but more than 90% are non-malignant causi...

High-resolution CT phenotypes in pulmonary sarcoidosis: a multinational Delphi consensus study (2023)
Journal Article
Desai, S. R., Sivarasan, N., Johannson, K. A., George, P. M., Culver, D. A., Devaraj, A., …Inoue, Y. (in press). High-resolution CT phenotypes in pulmonary sarcoidosis: a multinational Delphi consensus study. The lancet. Respiratory medicine, https://doi.org/10.1016/S2213-2600%2823%2900267-9

One view of sarcoidosis is that the term covers many different diseases. However, no classification framework exists for the future exploration of pathogenetic pathways, genetic or trigger predilections, patterns of lung function impairment, or treat...

Identification of biomarkers for the early detection of non-small cell lung cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2023)
Journal Article
Mohamed, E., García Martínez, D. J., Hosseini, M. S., Yoong, S. Q., Fletcher, D., Hart, S., & Guinn, B. A. (2024). Identification of biomarkers for the early detection of non-small cell lung cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Carcinogenesis, 45(1-2), Article bgad091. https://doi.org/10.1093/carcin/bgad091

Lung cancer (LC) causes few symptoms in the earliest stages, leading to one of the highest mortality rates among cancers. Low-dose computerised tomography (LDCT) is used to screen high-risk individuals, reducing the mortality rate by 20%. However, LD...

This chapter covers the main presentations of respiratory disease, breathlessness, cough, sputum production, haemoptysis, wheeze and chest pain. It shows how the diagnosis can be derived from a careful history and examination and relatively simple in... Read More about Respiratory Medicine.

PCSK6 and Survival in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (2023)
Journal Article
Oldham, J. M., Allen, R. J., Lorenzo-Salazar, J. M., Molyneaux, P. L., Ma, S. F., Joseph, C., …Noth, I. (2023). PCSK6 and Survival in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 207(11), 1515-1524. https://doi.org/10.1164/rccm.202205-0845OC

Rationale: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating disease characterized by limited treatment options and high mortality. A better understanding of the molecular drivers of IPF progression is needed. Objectives: To identify and validate... Read More about PCSK6 and Survival in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.

Investigating the diagnostic utility of high-resolution oesophageal manometry in patients with refractory respiratory symptoms (2022)
Journal Article
Sykes, D. L., Crooks, M. G., Hart, S. P., Jackson, W., Gallagher, J., & Morice, A. H. (2022).

Respiratory medicine, 202, Article 106985. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rmed.2022.106985

Background: The interaction between the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems, and the role of the latter in the development of respiratory pathology, has been examined with a focus on gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). However, little data... Read More about Investigating the diagnostic utility of high-resolution oesophageal manometry in patients with refractory respiratory symptoms.

ERJ Open Research, 8(4), Article 00257-2022. https://doi.org/10.1183/23120541.00257-2022

Introduction: One-fifth of emergency department presentations by ambulance are due to acute-on-chronic breathlessness. We explored the feasibility of an evaluation-phase, cluster randomised controlled trial (cRCT) of the effectiveness and cost-effect...
