Does P-glycoprotein have a role in the lung clearances of inhaled 99mTc-sestamibi and 99mTc-tetrofosmin? (2009)
Journal Article

Objective
The clearance rate of inhaled 99mTc-sestamibi from the lungs of healthy nonsmoking individuals is much slower than would be expected from its physical properties. The clearance rate is even slower in healthy cigarette smokers. As 99mTc-se...

Pulmonary elimination rate of inhaled 99m Tc-sestamibi radioaerosol is delayed in healthy cigarette smokers (2008)
Journal Article

Aim - To explore inhaled technetium-99m-labelled hexakis-methoxy-isobutyl isonitrile (99mTc-sestamibi) for quantifying pulmonary P-glycoprotein(P-gp) expression.
Methods - The elimination rate from the lungs of 99mTc-sestamibi was recorded scintigra... Read More about Pulmonary elimination rate of inhaled 99m Tc-sestamibi radioaerosol is delayed in healthy cigarette smokers.

Healthy passive cigarette smokers have increased pulmonary alveolar permeability (2007)
Journal Article
Beadsmoore, C., Cheow, H., Szczepura, K., Ruparelia, P., & Michael Peters, A. (2007). Healthy passive cigarette smokers have increased pulmonary alveolar permeability. Nuclear Medicine Communications, 28(2), 75-77. https://doi.org/10.1097/MNM.0b013e328013eb1e

Question
Does passive smoking have 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 function.

Methods
The... Read More about Healthy passive cigarette smokers have increased pulmonary alveolar permeability.

Quantification of disease activity in patients undergoing leucocyte scintigraphy for suspected inflammatory bowel disease (2004)
Journal Article

Purpose
Whole-body gamma camera counting is an alternative to faecal 111In collection for quantifying disease activity in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) but requires administration of imaging activities of 111In. The aim of this study was to explo... Read More about Quantification of disease activity in patients undergoing leucocyte scintigraphy for suspected inflammatory bowel disease.
