Thanks to the generous support of West Australians, new funding from Channel 7’s Telethon Trust will help develop a much-needed clinical pathway to support families with kids who have early-stage type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Babies worldwide could have access to life-saving influenza vaccinations from just eight weeks of age thanks to researchers at The Kids Research Institute Australia and the generous support of the Telethon community.
A new Australian study that looked at the long term impacts of early lung infections in young kids with cystic fibrosis has recommended changes to monitoring
The lung clearance index may be a useful surveillance tool for monitoring the presence and extent of lower airway inflammation and infection
Preterm children have worse lung function than healthy controls
This study aimed to determine how pulmonary inflammation & infection impacts on ventilation distribution throughout early life in people with cystic fibrosis.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common life‐shortening genetic disease affecting children.
ATP Binding Cassette Subfamily A Member 3 (ABCA-3) is a lipid transporter protein highly expressed in type-II alveolar (AT-II) cells. Mutations in ABCA3 can result in severe respiratory disease in infants and children. To study ABCA-3 deficiency in vitro, primary AT-II cells would be the cell culture of choice although sample accessibility is limited. Our aim was to investigate the suitability of primary nasal epithelial cells, as a surrogate culture model for AT-II cells, to study ABCA-3 deficiency.
The main issues that led to the ban on asbestos in industry are those of malignancy: lung cancer, malignant mesothelioma of the pleura and of the peritoneum
With the importance of early childhood development more recognized by the international society, low-cost and cross-culturally comparable measures of early childhood development is in great demand, both in China and worldwide. In this study, we aim to test the psychometrics of the Chinese version of The Early Human Capability Index (eHCI), which is designed as a measurement for school readiness in large population.
