Early life arsenic exposure and acute and long-term responses to influenza A infection in mice

Exposure to arsenic in early life has been shown to increase the rate of respiratory infections during infancy, reduce childhood lung function, and increase...

Lung abscess: 14 years of experience in a tertiary paediatric hospital

Lung abscess is a rare condition in paediatrics with a paucity of literature. Intravenous antibiotics is the main therapy; however interventional radiological approaches have led to the use of percutaneous drainage. Surgery is reserved for the management of complications.

Side effects of medications used to treat childhood interstitial lung disease

Interstitial lung disease in children comprises a range of different rare diseases

Despite advances in neonatal care, preterm babies have lower lung function throughout their life

Analysis of worldwide research shows that despite advances in neonatal care, preterm babies have lower lung function throughout their life.

KINDEE: Kids INfections and Day care’s Effects on the lungs in those born Early

Over the last 40 years medical advances in the care of newborn babies has resulted in more children surviving very early “preterm” birth than ever before.

Impact of lung disease on respiratory impedance in young children with cystic fibrosis

The present study investigated whether lung function measured by forced oscillation technique would be impaired in the presence of infection,...

Respiratory toxicology of e-cigarettes: effect of vapours on lung function and inflammation

Electronic cigarettes (ECs) have been rapidly gaining ground on conventional cigarettes due to their efficiency in ceasing or reducing tobacco consumption,...

Vitamin D and allergic airway disease shape the murine lung microbiome in a sex-specific manner

Maintaining sufficient vitamin D is necessary for optimal lung health, and vitamin D may modulate the lung microbiome in a sex-specific fashion

Thumbs up from first preterm study participant to use new lung function testing equipment

Natasha, who is a participant in the West Australian Lung Health in Prematurity (WALHIP) study, this week became the first person to receive a lung health assessment using new state-of-the-art lung function testing equipment at Perth Children’s Hospital.

Effect of posture on lung ventilation distribution and associations with structure in children with cystic fibrosis

Background: We assessed the effect of posture on ventilation distribution and the impact on associations with structural lung disease.
