Novel antitussive strategies (2012)
Journal Article
Morjaria, J. B., Dickinson, R. S., & Morice, A. H. (2013). Novel antitussive strategies. Drug Discovery Today, 18(7-8), 380-388. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.drudis.2012.11.004

Acute and chronic cough represent one of the most common symptoms of medical importance but effective pharmacotherapy is, to all intents and purposes, absent. Numerous initiatives targeting the recently discovered tussive pathways are in progress. He... Read More about Novel antitussive strategies.

Serum carcinoembryonic antigen correlates with severity of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (2012)
Journal Article
Fahim, A., Crooks, M., Wilmot, R., Campbell, A. P., Morice, A., & Hart, S. (2012). Serum carcinoembryonic antigen correlates with severity of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Respirology : official journal of the Asian Pacific Society of Respirology, 17(8), 1247-1252. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1440-1843.2012.02231.x

Background and objective: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the commonest idiopathic interstitial pneumonia and carries a poor prognosis. Epidemiological evidence suggests that patients with IPF have an increased risk of developing lung cancer....

Chronic Cough in Musculoskeletal disorders: Using high resolution oesophageal manometry in search of an Aetiology (2012)
Journal Article
Pathmanathan, S., Morjaria, J. B., Morice, A. H., & Jackson, W. (2012). Chronic Cough in Musculoskeletal disorders: Using high resolution oesophageal manometry in search of an Aetiology. Cough, 8(1), Article 6. https://doi.org/10.1186/1745-9974-8-6

Chronic cough is a common symptom carrying significant morbidity which can occur as a result of oesophageal dysmotility. Here we report 2 patients with musculoskeletal disease presenting with chronic cough to our tertiary cough clinic. Prior to refer...

Fundoplication in chronic intractable cough (2012)
Journal Article
Faruqi, S., Sedman, P., Jackson, W., Molyneux, I., & Morice, A. H. (2012). Fundoplication in chronic intractable cough. Cough, 8(1), Article 3. https://doi.org/10.1186/1745-9974-8-3

Background: Airway reflux is a common cause of chronic cough and this is often refractory to medical therapy. Surgery in the form of Nissen fundoplication has been highly successful in the treatment of the classic reflux symptoms of heartburn and dys...

Comparison of the effect of high-dose inhaled budesonide and fluticasone on adrenal function in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (2012)
Journal Article
Fahim, A., Faruqi, S., Wright, C. E., Kastelik, J. A., & Morice, A. H. (2012). Comparison of the effect of high-dose inhaled budesonide and fluticasone on adrenal function in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Annals of Thoracic Medicine, 7(3), 140-144. https://doi.org/10.4103/1817-1737.98846

Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of respiratory-related morbidity and mortality. Inhaled steroids are frequently used in patients with moderate to severe disease and may lead to adrenal suppression. Object...

Cognitive behavioural intervention for adults with anxiety complications of asthma: Prospective randomised trial (2012)
Journal Article
Parry, G. D., Cooper, C. L., Moore, J. M., Yadegarfar, G., Campbell, M. J., Esmonde, L., Morice, A. H., & Hutchcroft, B. J. (2012). Cognitive behavioural intervention for adults with anxiety complications of asthma: Prospective randomised trial. Respiratory medicine, 106(6), 802-810. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rmed.2012.02.006

Background: High levels of asthma-related fear and panic exacerbate asthma symptoms and complicate the management of asthma. Asthma-specific fear may be reduced by a cognitive behavioural intervention. We aimed to test if there is a reduction in asth...

Inflammatory stimuli up-regulate transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 expression in human bronchial fibroblasts (2012)
Journal Article
Sadofsky, L. R., Ramachandran, R., Crow, C., Cowen, M., Compton, S. J., & Morice, A. H. (2012). Inflammatory stimuli up-regulate transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 expression in human bronchial fibroblasts. Experimental Lung Research, 38(2), 75-81. https://doi.org/10.3109/01902148.2011.644027

Lung fibroblasts are involved in interstitial lung disease, chronic asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The expanded fibroblast population in airway disease leads to airway remodeling and contributes to the inflammatory process...
