Twenty-one LGB Christian... Read More about Onward gay Christian soldiers? Exploring the positioning of lesbian, gay and bisexual Christians in the ‘battle’ against religious homophobia.

Letter: Faecal volatile organic metabolites, promising biomarkers in inflammatory bowel disease and Letter: Faecal volatile organic metabolites as novel diagnostic biomarkers in inflammatory bowel disease. Authors' reply (2016)
Journal Article

The aetiology of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains poorly understood. Recent evidence suggests an important role of gut microbial dysbiosis in IBD, and this may be associated with changes in faecal volatile organic metabolites (VOMs).To descri...
