Journal Article
Simon, S. T., Higginson, I. J., Bausewein, C., Jolley, C. J., Bajwah, S., Maddocks, M., Wilharm, C., Oluyase, A. O., & Pralong, A. (online). Practice review: Pharmacological management of severe chronic breathlessness in adults with advanced life-limiting diseases. Palliative medicine, https://doi.org/10.1177/02692163241270945

Background: Severe and refractory chronic breathlessness is a common and burdensome symptom in patients with advanced life-limiting disease. Its clinical management is challenging because of the lack of effective interventions. Aim: To provide practi...

Investigation of Aged Human Lung Endothelial Cells in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (2024)
Thesis
Faulkner, E. C. Investigation of Aged Human Lung Endothelial Cells in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4866422

Introduction
Older age is the main risk factor for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Ageing-related changes in lung blood (pulmonary and bronchial) and lymphatic vessels are implicated in IPF pathophysiology, based on reports of their altered den...

Identification of tumour anitgens that may facilitate effective cancer detection and treatment (2024)
Thesis
Mohamed, E. Identification of tumour anitgens that may facilitate effective cancer detection and treatment. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4866442

Tumour antigens (TAs) play a crucial role in terms of cancer diagnosis and targets for therapy. As TAs are normally expressed in restricted tissues such as testis, sensitivity and specificity may not be ideal, but they could still represent good biom...

Genome-wide association study across five cohorts identifies five novel loci associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (2022)
Journal Article
Allen, R. J., Stockwell, A., Oldham, J. M., Guillen-Guio, B., Schwartz, D. A., Maher, T. M., Flores, C., Noth, I., Yaspan, B. L., Jenkins, R. G., & Wain, L. V. (2022).

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic lung condition with poor survival times. We previously published a genome-wide meta-analysis of IPF risk across three studies with independent replication of associated variants in two additional studi...

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...
