Journal Article
Totty, J., Bua, N., Smith, G., Harwood, A., Carradice, D., Wallace, T., & Chetter, I. (2017). Dialkylcarbamoyl chloride (DACC)-coated dressings in the management and prevention of wound infection: A systematic review. Journal of Wound Care, 26(3), 107-114. https://doi.org/10.12968/jowc.2017.26.3.107

Objective: Dialkylcarbomoyl chloride (DACC)-coated dressings (Leukomed Sorbact and Cutimed Sorbact) irreversibly bind bacteria at the wound surface that are then removed when the dressing is changed. They are a recent addition to the wound care profe... Read More about Dialkylcarbamoyl chloride (DACC)-coated dressings in the management and prevention of wound infection: A systematic review.

TRPV1 polymorphisms influence capsaicin cough sensitivity in men (2017)
Journal Article
Sadofsky, L. R., Cantero-Recasens, G., Wright, C., Valverde, M. A., & Morice, A. H. (2017). TRPV1 polymorphisms influence capsaicin cough sensitivity in men. Journal of thoracic disease, 9(3), 839-840. https://doi.org/10.21037/jtd.2017.03.50

Capsaicin, the hot component of chilli peppers, is a well-known tussive agent, which is regularly used as a tool to study cough and antitussives (1). Capsaicin is known to activate the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) cation channel w... Read More about TRPV1 polymorphisms influence capsaicin cough sensitivity in men.

Tussive challenge with ATP and AMP: does it reveal cough hypersensitivity? (2017)
Journal Article
Fowles, H. E., Rowland, T., Wright, C., & Morice, A. (2017). Tussive challenge with ATP and AMP: does it reveal cough hypersensitivity?. European respiratory journal, 49(2), Article ARTN 1601452. https://doi.org/10.1183/13993003.01452-2016

Recent studies have demonstrated that blockade of P2X3 adenosine triphosphate (ATP) receptors may profoundly inhibit chronic cough. We have considered whether inhaled ATP produces a tussive response and whether chronic cough patients are hypersensiti...

Exploring the relation between changes in NT-proBNP and renal function in patients with suspected heart failure using structural equation modelling (2017)
Journal Article
Zhang, J., Wong, K., Clark, A. L., & Cleland, J. G. (2017). Exploring the relation between changes in NT-proBNP and renal function in patients with suspected heart failure using structural equation modelling. International journal of cardiology, 233, 67-72. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijcard.2017.01.127

Background The relation between changes in NT-proBNP and renal function has commonly been studied using multiple regressions, which may ignore the complexity of relations between related variables. Methods and results Data were collected from patient...
