Human Rhinovirus (hRV) is a major cause of upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) and is linked to lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) and airway diseases exacerbations. Cough, airway inflammation and hypersensation are common symptoms of...

Molecular imaging is a functional imaging that identify disease in its earliest stages and determine the exact location of metabolically active tissue such as tumours. Often before symptoms occur or abnormalities can be detected with other diagnostic... Read More about Positron emision [i.e. emission] tomography (PET) in non-malignant chest diseases.

The effect of human rhinovirus-16 on thermo-TRP channels, hypotonic activation and ATP release (2019)

An investigation into the mechanism of inhalational cough challenge (2018)
Thesis
Fowles, H. E. (2018). An investigation into the mechanism of inhalational cough challenge. (Thesis). Hull York Medical School, the University of Hull and the University of York. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4220805

Chronic cough is a common problem. Historically treatments have focussed on treating underlying physiological causes. More recently an overarching theory of cough hypersensitivity syndrome has developed. In-vitro models of cough have not successfully...

The emerging role of the eosinophil and its measurement in chronic cough : airway inflammation in chronic cough (2017)
Thesis
Haji Sadeghi, M. (2017). The emerging role of the eosinophil and its measurement in chronic cough : airway inflammation in chronic cough. (Thesis). Hull York Medical School, the University of Hull and the University of York. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4220810

Although the aetiology of chronic cough in guidelines is clearly stated as asthma and related syndromes, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, and upper airways disease, the inflammatory mechanisms underlying these conditions differ. Recent studies on a... Read More about The emerging role of the eosinophil and its measurement in chronic cough : airway inflammation in chronic cough.

The differential in vitro effects of clinically used vasoactive drugs on small human pulmonary vessels (2017)
Thesis

Introduction:
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an important prognostic factor in cardiac surgery and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The mechanism of the underlying pathophysiology is complex and PH may exist prior to surgery or...
