Early life exposure to coal mine fire smoke emissions and altered lung function in young childrenInfant exposure to coal mine fire emissions could be associated with long-term impairment of lung reactance
Research
Factors influencing the assessment of lung function in mice with influenza-induced lung diseaseThe constant-phase model (CPM) is commonly fit to respiratory system input impedance (Z rs) to estimate lung mechanics.

Humidified high-flow nasal cannula oxygen for bronchiolitis: Should we go with the flow?Current NICE 2015 guidelines for bronchiolitis state that the use of HFNC is becoming widespread without demonstration of additional efficacy.
Research
Metabolomics to predict asthma in children (MAP Study)Childhood asthma begins as wheeze (a whistling sound produced by the airways during breathing) during preschool age.
