P16 Healthy passive cigarette smokers have increased pulmonary alveolar permeability (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background and aim To determine whether passive smoking has a measurable effect on lung function in otherwise healthy subjects? There is current interest concerning passive smoking but no objective evidence showing that it has any impact on lung func...

Granulocyte trafficking in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammatory condition of the airways characterised by intense neutrophilia. We have used sub-imaging doses of 111 indium (111In) labelled granulocytes and high sensitivity whole body c... Read More about Granulocyte trafficking in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

A16 Using whole-body counting to determine neutrophil trafficking and loss in COPD (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

COPD is an inflammatory condition of the airways characterized by airway neutrophilia. Using a whole-body-counter (WBC) we have assessed neutrophil trafficking and loss in COPD using small activities of 111In-labelled neutrophils. Patients were scann...
