Whether vaccination during pregnancy could reduce the burden of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-associated lower respiratory tract illness in newborns and infants is uncertain.
The Artificial Intelligence team at the Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre is dedicated to delivering AI solutions for major challenges in respiratory healthcare and research.
Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre PhD student Niamh Troy has found how OM85 helps babies fight off severe lung infections.
Hypoxia and sterile inflammation in cystic fibrosis airways mechanisms and potential therapies ABSTRACT Cystic fibrosis is one of the most common
The Western Australian Epithelial Research Program (WAERP) is a community cohort biobank that collects and stores airway cells from the upper (nose) and lower (trachea) airways of Western Australian children and adults (1-50 years of age) undergoing non respiratory elective surgery.
It is critical that health service evaluation frameworks include Aboriginal people and their cultural worldviews from design to implementation. During a large participatory action research study, Elders, service leaders and Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal researchers co-designed evaluation tools to test the efficacy of a previously co-designed engagement framework. Through a series of co-design workshops, tools were built using innovative collaborative processes that foregrounded Aboriginal worldviews.
Emerging evidence indicates that interactions between bacteria shape the nasopharyngeal microbiome and influence respiratory health. This Review uses the systematic scoping methodology to summarise 88 studies including observational and experimental studies, identifying key interactions between bacteria that colonise the human nasopharynx.
The lungs represent a key interface between the body and the environment.
Researchers from the Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre are collaborating with Virex Pharma to undertake vital research into a potential breakthrough treatment for RSV infections in young children, thanks to a $499,241 grant awarded by the WA Department of Health Innovation Seed Fund.
In adults, respiratory movements, such as tidal and deep breaths, reduce airway smooth muscle force and cause bronchodilation.
