New research from Perth's The Kids for Child Health Research has linked traffic emissions to reduced fetal growth.
Professor Fiona Stanley, Director of the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research, has been inducted into the Science Hall of Fame.
This project will explore in detail the role of two known risk factors for cerebral palsy: assisted reproductive technology and congenital anomalies.
Every child deserves the best possible start in life. Evidence demonstrates the period from pre-birth to three years is a vital period of development. It lays the foundations for a child’s future and has life-long impacts on health, education, job opportunities, social inclusion and wellbeing.
This study sought to determine the social and emotional impact of maternal loss on Aboriginal children and young people using data from the Western...
Bullying is now regarded as a health problem and not just a disciplinary problem. Increasing evidence shows both traditional bullying (e.g. hitting, teasing) and cyberbullying have lasting effects on young people (both those who bully and those who are bullied), including damage to self-esteem, academic results and mental health.
The Human Development and Community Wellbeing (HDCW) Team focuses on improving outcomes for children, family, and the community.
In this The Kids Research Institute Australia subsite, our Rett syndrome research team manages a national and international database of Rett syndrome.
Rhinovirus (RV) C can cause asymptomatic infection and respiratory illnesses ranging from the common cold to severe wheezing. The aim was to identify how age and other individual-level factors are associated with susceptibility to RV-C illnesses. Longitudinal data from the COAST (Childhood Origins of Asthma) birth cohort study were analyzed to determine relationships between age and RV-C infections. Neutralizing antibodies specific for RV-A and RV-C (three types each) were determined using a novel PCR-based assay.
Neonates have heightened susceptibility to infections. The biological mechanisms are incompletely understood but thought to be related to age-specific adaptations in immunity due to resource constraints during immune system development and growth. We present here an extended analysis of our proteomics study of peripheral blood-plasma from a study of healthy full-term newborns delivered vaginally, collected at the day of birth and on day of life (DOL) 1, 3, or 7, to cover the first week of life. The plasma proteome was characterized by LC-MS using our established 96-well plate format plasma proteomics platform.
