Soy Biodiesel Exhaust is More Toxic than Mineral Diesel Exhaust in Primary Human Airway Epithelial Cells

Exposure to biodiesel exhaust resulted in significantly greater cell death and a greater release of immune mediators compared to both air controls and ULSD exhaust

Alpha-1 antitrypsin mitigates the inhibition of airway epithelial cell repair by neutrophil elastase

Free NE activity is deleterious for epithelial homeostasis and support the hypothesis that proteases in the airway contribute to CF structural lung disease

High burden of RSV hospitalization in very young children: a data linkage study

RSV was associated with substantial burden of childhood hospitalization specifically in children aged <3 months and in Indigenous children and pre-term children

Pharmacological ablation of the airway smooth muscle layer—Mathematical predictions of functional improvement in asthma

Findings provide further proof of concept that pharmacological targeting of airway smooth muscle thickness will be beneficial and may be facilitated by azithromycin

Collaboration key to wet cough prevention

Prevalence of chronic lung disease in Aboriginal children is conservatively estimated at 1.5 per cent

New drug offers hope for people living with cystic fibrosis

A promising new treatment pioneered in Western Australia for people with cystic fibrosis has commenced testing in a clinical trial in the United States and Australia.

Phage therapy for multi-drug resistant respiratory tract infections

The emergence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria is recognised today as one of the greatest challenges to public health. As traditional antimicrobials are becoming ineffective and research into new antibiotics is diminishing, a number of alternative treatments for MDR bacteria have been receiving greater attention. Bacteriophage therapies are being revisited and present a promising opportunity to reduce the burden of bacterial infection in this post-antibiotic era.

The effect of 100% oxygen on tidal breathing parameters in preschool children

This study aimed to determine whether breathing 100% oxygen altered tidal breathing parameters in healthy young children and young children with CF.
