Colonoscopy in management of colonic strictures.
Hunt, R H, Teague, R H, Swarbrick, E T, Williams, C B
A total of 160 strictures were examined in 154 patients with the fibreoptic colonoscope. When it was possible to make a pre-examination diagnosis colonoscopy proved it wrong in 52% of cases....

Immune elimination and enhanced antibody responses: functions of circulating IgA.
Stokes, C R, Swarbrick, E T, Soothill, J F
Passively transferred MOPC 315 IgA myeloma protein accelerated the elimination of DNP-ovalbumin, to which the myeloma protein bound with antibody-like affinity, from the circulation and increased the...

The adherent properties and hydrophobicity of Escherichia coli isolates have been compared from the rectal mucosa of patients with active and inactive ulcerative colitis and from a control patient...
Phenotypic and genotypic variation in Giardia lamblia isolates during chronic infection.
Butcher, P D, Cevallos, A M, Carnaby, S, Alstead, E M, Swarbrick, E T, Farthing, M J

A study of peripheral leucocyte migration in agarose medium in inflammatory bowel disease
Bartnik, Witold, Swarbrick, E. T., Williams, Christopher
The migration of peripheral leucocytes from patients with inflammatory bowel disease was investigated using an agarose plate technique and three antigenic materials: (1) the enterobacterial common...
Swarbrick, E T, Stokes, C R, Soothill, J F
