Exome-wide analysis of copy number variation shows association of the human leukocyte antigen region with asthma in UK Biobank (2022)
Journal Article

Background The role of copy number variants (CNVs) in susceptibility to asthma is not well understood. This is, in part, due to the difficulty of accurately measuring CNVs in large enough sample sizes to detect associations. The recent availability...

Free-Breathing Phase-Resolved Oxygen-Enhanced Pulmonary MRI Based on 3D Stack-of-Stars UTE Sequence (2022)
Journal Article

Compared with hyperpolarized noble gas MRI, oxygen-enhanced lung imaging is a cost-effective approach to investigate lung function. In this study, we investigated the feasibility of free-breathing phase-resolved oxygen-enhanced pulmonary MRI based on...

Tacrolimus (FK506) for induction of remission in corticosteroid-refractory ulcerative colitis (2022)
Journal Article

Background: There are a limited number of treatment options for people with corticosteroid-refractory ulcerative colitis. Animal models of inflammatory bowel disease and uncontrolled studies in humans suggest that tacrolimus may be an effective treat...

Corticosteroid plus glycyrrhizin therapy for chronic drug‐ or herb‐induced liver injury achieves biochemical and histological improvements: a randomised open‐label trial (2022)
Journal Article

Background Treatment of chronic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) or herb-induced liver injury(HILI) is an important and unresolved challenge. There is no consensus regarding the indications for corticosteroids for chronic DILI/HILI. Aims To inve...

Impact of Coexisting Dementia on Inpatient Outcomes for Patients Admitted with a COPD Exacerbation (2022)
Journal Article

Purpose: People with COPD are at a higher risk of cognitive dysfunction than the general population. However, the additional impact of dementia amongst such patients is not well understood, particularly in those admitted with a COPD exacerbation. We...

Joint patient and clinician priority setting to identify 10 key research questions regarding the long-term sequelae of COVID-19 (2022)
Journal Article

Given the large numbers of people infected and high rates of ongoing morbidity, research is clearly required to address the needs of adult survivors of COVID-19 living with ongoing symptoms (long COVID). To help direct resource and research efforts,... Read More about Joint patient and clinician priority setting to identify 10 key research questions regarding the long-term sequelae of COVID-19.

Antibody decay, T cell immunity and breakthrough infections following two SARS-CoV-2 vaccine doses in inflammatory bowel disease patients treated with infliximab and vedolizumab (2022)
Journal Article

Anti tumour necrosis factor (anti-TNF) drugs increase the risk of serious respiratory infection and impair protective immunity following pneumococcal and influenza vaccination. Here we report SARS-CoV-2 vaccine-induced immune responses and breakthrou...

Dynamic susceptibility-contrast magnetic resonance imaging with contrast agent leakage correction aids in predicting grade in pediatric brain tumours: a multicenter study (2022)
Journal Article

Background Relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) measured using dynamic susceptibility-contrast MRI can differentiate between low- and high-grade pediatric brain tumors. Multicenter studies are required for translation into clinical practice. Obj...

Psychological impact of lung cancer screening using a novel antibody blood test followed by imaging: the ECLS randomised controlled trial (2022)
Journal Article

Background: The Early CDT®-Lung antibody blood test plus serial CT-scans for test-positives reduces late-stage lung cancer presentation. This study assessed psychological outcomes of this approach. Methods: Randomised controlled trial (n=12,208) c...

Ambulatory care management of 69 patients with acute severe ulcerative colitis in comparison to 695 inpatients: insights from a multicentre UK cohort study (2022)
Journal Article

Introduction Acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC) traditionally requires inpatient hospital management for intravenous therapies and/or colectomy. Ambulatory ASUC care has not yet been evaluated in large cohorts. Aims We used data from PROTECT, a U...

Genetic Associations and Architecture of Asthma-COPD Overlap (2022)
Journal Article

Background Some people have characteristics of both asthma and COPD (asthma-COPD overlap), and evidence suggests they experience worse outcomes than those with either condition alone. Research Question What is the genetic architecture of asthma-CO... Read More about Genetic Associations and Architecture of Asthma-COPD Overlap.
