Efficacy, safety, and predictive factors for a positive yield of EUS-guided Trucut biopsy: a large tertiary referral center experience (2009)
Journal Article
T, T., PV, K., K, R., & G, A. (2009). Efficacy, safety, and predictive factors for a positive yield of EUS-guided Trucut biopsy: a large tertiary referral center experience. American Journal of Gastroenterology, 104(3), 582-591. https://doi.org/10.1038/ajg.2008.97

OBJECTIVES: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided trucut biopsy (EUS-TCB) technique has the advantage of obtaining tissue for histological examination rather than for cytology alone. However, the diagnostic yield may depend on factors related to both techni...

Resistance to FLT3 inhibition in an in vitro model of primary AML cells with a stem cell phenotype in a defined microenvironment (2008)
Journal Article
(2008). Resistance to FLT3 inhibition in an in vitro model of primary AML cells with a stem cell phenotype in a defined microenvironment. Leukemia, 22, 1395-1401. https://doi.org/10.1038/leu.2008.125

Relapse in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is mediated by survival of leukaemic stem cells following remission-induction chemotherapy. It would therefore be useful to identify therapeutic agents that target leukaemic stem cells. We devised a flow cytom...

P-glycoprotein is downregulated in KG1a-primitive leukemia cells by LDL cholesterol deprivation and by HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (2007)
Journal Article
Connelly Smith, L., Pattinson, J., Grundy, M., Shang, S., Seedhouse, C., Russell, N., & Pallis, M. (2007). P-glycoprotein is downregulated in KG1a-primitive leukemia cells by LDL cholesterol deprivation and by HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. Experimental Hematology, 35(12), 1793-1800. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.exphem.2007.07.017

Objective P-glycoprotein (pgp) is a membrane transporter encoded by the multidrug resistance (MDR1, ABCB1) gene. Pgp is a poor prognostic factor in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In addition to its role in drug efflux, pgp has b...

Influence of ursodeoxycholic acid on the mortality and malignancy associated with primary biliary cirrhosis: A population-based cohort study (2007)
Journal Article
Jackson, H., Solaymani-Dodaran, M., Card, T. R., Aithal, G. P., Logan, R., & West, J. (2007). Influence of ursodeoxycholic acid on the mortality and malignancy associated with primary biliary cirrhosis: A population-based cohort study. Hepatology, 46(4), 1131-1137. https://doi.org/10.1002/hep.21795

There is debate over the mortality and malignancy risk in people with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and whether this risk is reduced by use of ursodeoxycholic acid. To investigate this issue, we identified 930 people with PBC and 9,202 control subj...

Fracture Risk in People With Primary Biliary Cirrhosis: A Population-Based Cohort Study (2006)
Journal Article
Solaymani–Dodaran, M., Card, T. R., Aithal, G. P., & West, J. (2006). Fracture Risk in People With Primary Biliary Cirrhosis: A Population-Based Cohort Study. Gastroenterology, 131(6), 1752-1757. https://doi.org/10.1053/j.gastro.2006.09.012

Background & Aims: Controversy exists as to whether people with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) have an increased risk of developing osteoporosis and the extent to which this may translate into an increased risk of fracture. We have performed a coh... Read More about Fracture Risk in People With Primary Biliary Cirrhosis: A Population-Based Cohort Study.

Advances in the understanding of susceptibility to treatment-related acute myeloid leukaemia (2004)
Journal Article
Seedhouse, C., & Russell, N. (2004). Advances in the understanding of susceptibility to treatment-related acute myeloid leukaemia. British Journal of Haematology, 137(6), 513-529. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2141.2007.06613.x

Treatment-related acute myeloid leukaemia (t-AML) is a devastating complication following exposure to the cytotoxic and genotoxic agents used to treat a primary malignancy. Whilst the incidence of t-AML is rising, it still only occurs in a minority o... Read More about Advances in the understanding of susceptibility to treatment-related acute myeloid leukaemia.

Clonal haemopoiesis may occur after conventional chemotherapy and is associated with accelerated telomere shortening and defects in the NQO1 pathway; possible mechanisms leading to an increased risk of t-AML/MDS (2004)
Journal Article
Fern, L., Pallis, M., Carter, G. I., Seedhouse, C., Russell, N., & Byrne, J. (2004). Clonal haemopoiesis may occur after conventional chemotherapy and is associated with accelerated telomere shortening and defects in the NQO1 pathway; possible mechanisms leading to an increased risk of t-AML/MDS. British Journal of Haematology, 126(1), 63-71. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2141.2004.05006.x

The molecular pathogenesis of therapy-related acute myeloid leukaemia/myelodysplastic syndrome (t-AML/MDS) remains uncertain. However, clonal haemopoiesis may develop following stem cell transplantation and precede the development of t-AML/MDS. Moreo...

Polymorphisms in Genes Involved in Homologous Recombination Repair Interact to Increase the Risk of Developing Acute Myeloid Leukemia (2004)
Journal Article
Seedhouse, C., Faulkner, R., Ashraf, N., Das-Gupta, E., & Russell, N. (2004). Polymorphisms in Genes Involved in Homologous Recombination Repair Interact to Increase the Risk of Developing Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Clinical Cancer Research, 10(8), 2675–2680. https://doi.org/10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-03-0372

Purpose: Double-strand break repair via homologous recombination is essential in maintaining genetic integrity. RAD51 and XRCC3 are involved in the repair of DNA by this pathway, and polymorphisms have been identified in both the RAD51 (RAD51-G135C)...
