Short-acting beta agonist (SABA) overuse (≥3 canisters annually) is associated with worse asthma outcomes and accounts for the majority of greenhouse gas emissions from asthma inhalers in England. Reducing SABA overuse aligns with the National Health...

Agreement between blood draw techniques for assessing platelet activation by flow cytometry (2018)
Journal Article
Welch, E. L., Crooks, M. G., & Hart, S. P. (2019). Agreement between blood draw techniques for assessing platelet activation by flow cytometry. Platelets, 30(4), 530-534. https://doi.org/10.1080/09537104.2018.1535705

It is widely believed that assays of platelet activation are susceptible to preanalytical variables related to blood draw technique. We assessed platelet activation by whole blood flow cytometry and investigated the effects of: (1) drawing blood into...

Increased platelet reactivity in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is mediated by a plasma factor (2014)
Journal Article
Crooks, M. G., Fahim, A., Naseem, K. M., Morice, A. H., & Hart, S. P. (2014). Increased platelet reactivity in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is mediated by a plasma factor. PLoS ONE, 9(10), Article ARTN e111347. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0111347

Introduction Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive, incurable fibrotic interstitial lung disease with a prognosis worse than many cancers. Its pathogenesis is poorly understood. Activated platelets can release pro-fibrotic mediators th... Read More about Increased platelet reactivity in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is mediated by a plasma factor.
