Prevalence of chronic lung disease in Aboriginal children is conservatively estimated at 1.5 per cent
In this study we assessed the effects of antigen exposure in mice pre‐sensitized with allergen following viral infection on changes in lung function, cellular responses and tight junction expression.
This study is looking for the causes of type 1 diabetes, so that we can find ways to prevent it. We will follow many women around Australia during pregnancy until early childhood, looking at the child's birth, environment and genes.

Right shift of the peripheral oxyhaemoglobin saturation (SpO2) versus inspired oxygen pressure (PIO2) curve is a sensitive marker of pulmonary gas exchange. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of prematurity and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) on gas exchange and right-to-left shunt in the neonatal period, and its evolution over the first year of life.
Perioperative respiratory adverse events pose a significant risk in pediatric anesthesia, and identifying these risks is vital. Traditionally, this is assessed using history and examination. However, the perioperative risk is multifactorial, and children with complex medical backgrounds such as chronic lung disease or obesity may benefit from additional objective preoperative pulmonary function tests.
The application of the systematic review improved inter-observer agreement but did not affect reported multiple breath washout outcomes
The discoveries that have set our research apart primarily relate to the factors early in life that cause life-long respiratory problems.
The lungs are one of the last organs in the body to develop as a baby grows. They're also one of the most important.
