Showing results for "early lung health"
Population-level ecological studies show type 1 diabetes incidence is inversely correlated with ambient ultraviolet radiation (UVR) levels. We conducted a nested case–control study using administrative datasets to test this association at the individual level.
We are looking for Aboriginal parents who are passionate about lung health to join the Aboriginal Advisory Committee (AAC) for our Kids Easy Breathing Study (KEBS). Research shows 1 in 5 Aboriginal* bubs in hospital for bronchiolitis (a common viral chest infection) later had serious damage to their lungs. The aim of our study is to find out why Aboriginal bubbies are more likely to develop long-term lung sickness.
There is increasing international interest in place-based approaches to improve early childhood development (ECD) outcomes. The available data and evidence are limited and precludes well informed policy and practice change. Developing the evidence-base for community-level effects on ECD is one way to facilitate more informed and targeted community action.
Further research is required to identify the optimal age, content and length of mindfulness programs for adolescents in universal prevention settings.
Parental pre-pregnancy body mass index and rapid early-life weight gain predispose offspring to obesity in adulthood
Improving glycaemic control in people with Type 1 diabetes is known to reduce complications.
Valued at a total of $440,000, the Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre Inspiration Awards 2022 will support five cutting-edge research projects.
Higher urinary albumin excretion, even within the normal range, is associated with early atherosclerosis
Once thought to be a simple barrier to the external environment, epithelial cells are involved in many repair and inflammatory processes that occur in childhood airway diseases.
Socio-environmental factors, including the neighbourhoods in which children live and grow, are key determinants of children's developmental outcomes.
These findings indicate that early CF lung disease is characterized by an increased mucus burden and inflammatory markers without infection or structural lung disease
Purging at age 17 and externalising behaviour problems at age 14 were the strongest predictors of eating disorder persistence to age 20.
It is therefore clear that gavage can have significant impacts on experimental animals in terms of their stress response and overall morbidity and mortality
The aim of our investigation was to assess the chemical composition of a range of e-liquids available in Australia, focusing on nicotine and other potentially harmful compounds
Despite the wide use of parenteral nutrition (PN) in neonatal intensive care units (NICU), there is limited evidence regarding the optimal time to commence PN in term and late preterm infants.
This report regards the health & wellbeing of Australian children & adolescents. Based on a survey conducted in the homes of over 6,300 families with...
Despite their increasing popularity, and Australia's unique regulatory environment, how and why Australian adults use e-cigarettes and their perceptions of their safety, efficacy and regulation have not been extensively reported before. In this study, we screened 2217 adult Australians with the aim of assessing these questions in a sample of current or former e-cigarette users.
A large contingent of researchers from the Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre are heading to Spain in September to participate in the European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress – the largest respiratory meeting in the world.
Suggests that IL-1R1 expression provides an additional level of Myd88-dependent signaling during this period of heighted susceptibility to infection.
To show underlying mechanisms, we examined differences in T-cell gene expression in samples at birth and at 1 year in children with and without IgE allergy.
