Do you have a food allergy or care for someone with a food allergy?

What are the most important questions for research to answer about food allergies in children? Fill in the survey to help set the TOP 10 research priorities for food allergy in children!

The aim is to identify unanswered questions about food allergy research in children. Then prioritise the questions in order of importance, aiming to identify the TOP 10 priority questions for researchers to answer. This will ensure that researchers and those who fund research focus on what really matters to both patients and clinicians. If you would like to get involved, please complete the survey!

We know that people with particular lifestyle behaviours, including level of physical activity and diet, can be linked with a higher chance of developing long term conditions including high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease. We would like to ask people across the East Midlands (Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Rutland) about some
of their lifestyle behaviours to find out the extent to which they may raise the chances of disease, both now and in the future. We would also like to know the effects that living/working in different geographical areas may affect lifestyle habits and risk of disease.

Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is a simple, non-invasive breath test, which provides objective evidence of steroid-responsive eosinophilic airway inflammation. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) already recommends that clinicians should use FeNO to help them diagnose asthma more accurately. However, NICE has also highlighted the need for more robust evidence to guide use of FeNO in monitoring asthma treatment to prevent acute exacerbations. 

This research activity seeks to determine the impact of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) on liver fat quality/composition in individuals with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and to characterise changes in liver fat quality/composition in response to a supervised exercise training programme.

MyMelanoma is a partnership between people who have been affected by melanoma, clinicians and researchers to form the largest melanoma research study in the world.

MyMelanoma is designed to answer the most important unanswered questions in melanoma research, and is open to anyone who has ever been diagnosed with a melanoma of the skin, of the mucosal surfaces (e.g. nose, genitals) or under the nails.

The overall purpose of this study is to determine the clinical and cost-effectiveness of allopurinol based treat-to-target (T2T) urate lowering treatment (ULT) in people with recurrent gout flares compared to usual GP care.
