Three researchers from the Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre will share in almost $1.8 million in grants to continue groundbreaking research to tackle childhood asthma prevention and lung disease.
Wiping out childhood ear infections could become a reality thanks to new research identifying the main bacteria responsible for recurrent ear infections and repeat ear surgeries.
The Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre is seeking expressions of interest from Western Australians to join an Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Community Reference Group, to provide vital community perspectives on the research activities into this global health concern.
More than two decades of research, modelling and collaboration to develop safe and effective RSV immunisations has led to a major Federal Government roll-out of a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) immunisation program for all pregnant women and newborn babies in 2025.
Community involvement plays an integral role in guiding our research - find out how.
To identify the barriers and facilitators for timely detection and optimal management of otitis media in Aboriginal children in a primary care setting from the perspective of Health Care Providers
Pulmonary exacerbations pose a significant clinical burden on people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). Whether management of exacerbations should change in the context of modulator therapy is unclear. We describe the characteristics, treatment and lung function outcomes of pulmonary exacerbations requiring intravenous antibiotic therapy (PERITs) in a contemporary Australian cohort of pwCF, in an era of rapidly broadening access to modulator therapy.
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.
We are looking for children to take part in an important study that will assess a new treatment designed to prevent ongoing ear infections in kids having grommet surgery.
