Showing results for "lung disease preterm"
Recent birth cohort studies showed a significant interaction between cat ownership at birth and mutations in FLG on the development of early‐onset atopic dermatitis
This review focuses on the scientific rationale for early intervention aimed at asthma prophylaxis and discusses therapeutic approaches
Quantifying stroke incidence and mortality is crucial for disease surveillance and health system planning. Administrative data offer a cost-effective alternative to "gold standard" population-based studies. However, the optimal methodology for establishing stroke deaths from administrative data remains unclear.
Airways hyperresponsiveness (AHR) is one of the major clinical features of allergic airways disease including allergic asthma
The Kids Easy Breathing Study kickstarts this month, with the aim of finding out how the airway surface is different between infants who develop chronic lung disease after contracting bronchiolitis compared with those who don’t.
For decades, cystic fibrosis (CF) meant a life shaped by daily treatments, frequent hospitalisations, and an uncertain future. The arrival of CFTR modulators has changed that picture dramatically, and researchers at the Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre now want to understand the bigger picture.
The Wesfarmers Centre is pleased to announce the successful applications for the 2016 Round 2 Wesfarmers Centre Seed Funding.
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are often perceived to be a less harmful alternative to tobacco cigarettes. Potentially due to this perception, they are used by people with pre-existing respiratory conditions, such as asthma, who otherwise would not smoke. Despite this, there are few studies exploring the health effects of e-cigarette use on pre-existing asthma.
Electronic cigarettes ("e-cigarettes") are often marketed as smoking cessation tools and are used by smokers to reduce/quit cigarette smoking. The objective of this study was to assess the health effects of switching to e-cigarettes after long-term smoking in a mouse model and compare these effects with continued smoking, or quitting entirely.
The airway epithelium of children with wheeze is characterized by defective repair that contributes to disease pathobiology. Dysregulation of developmental processes controlled by Notch has been identified in chronic asthma. However, its role in airway epithelial cells of young children with wheeze, particularly during repair, is yet to be determined.
