High rates of recurrent infection are a major risk to the health of Aboriginal children and are comparable to those of third world countries.
The world’s leading preterm scientists and doctors have joined forces to help give babies born very prematurely, the best possible life.
Preterm birth is increasingly recognised as adversely influencing lifelong lung function. This Series paper on prematurity-associated lung disease reviews studies reporting longitudinal lung function measurements in individuals who were born preterm. Evidence suggests that preterm birth alters lung function trajectories from early life onwards, with implications for future respiratory morbidity. We propose that this population needs rigorous follow up that should include systematic monitoring of lung function across the lifespan, starting in childhood.
National policies are essential for countries to adapt to the negative health impacts of climate change. Children are disproportionately affected by these impacts and must be at the heart of adaptation policies to address their vulnerabilities. Adaptation commitments worldwide are integrated into national adaptation plans, nationally determined contributions, national communications, and other multisectoral policies. We aimed to evaluate how effectively national climate change policies worldwide plan to protect child health, considering a range of determinants for successful child-health adaptation.
Neutrophils are key cells of the innate immune system. It is now understood that this leukocyte population is diverse in both the basal composition and functional plasticity. Underlying this plasticity is a post-translational framework for rapidly achieving early activation states, but also a transcriptional capacity that is becoming increasingly recognized by immunologists.
Adolescents attending a hospital-based CPU report high rates of health-risk behaviours
We asked our podcast guest Hayley to recount her experiences navigating the healthcare system for Fibroid Awareness Month.
ORIGINS named in multi-million investment towards child health
A possible link between a rise in conditions such as obesity and attention deficit disorder and the use of computers and smartphones is the focus of a new ORIGINS Project sub-study into the effects of technology on children’s development.
With up to one in four Australian children now affected by allergic diseases, the potential for the ORIGINS SYMBA Study to positively impact future lives is immense.
