P16 Healthy passive cigarette smokers have increased pulmonary alveolar permeability (2006)
Journal Article
Beadsmoore, C., Cheow, H., Szczepura, K., Ruparelia, P., & Peters, A. (2006). P16 Healthy passive cigarette smokers have increased pulmonary alveolar permeability. Nuclear Medicine Communications, 27(12), 1027-1028. https://doi.org/10.1097/00006231-200612000-00067

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)
Journal Article
Ruparelia, P., Szczepura, K., Bilton, D., Peters, A., & Chilvers, E. (2006). Granulocyte trafficking in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Thorax, 61(Sup. 2), ii108-ii109

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)
Journal Article
Szczepura, K., Ruparelia, P., Bilton, D., Chilvers, E., & Peters, A. (2006). A16 Using whole-body counting to determine neutrophil trafficking and loss in COPD. Nuclear Medicine Communications, 27(3), 285. https://doi.org/10.1097/00006231-200603000-00027

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...
