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,...

Association between diesel engine exhaust exposure and lung function in Australian gold miners

Diesel engine exhaust exposures were higher in underground miners and had a negative association with their lung function over a single 12-h shift

The potential of antisense oligonucleotide therapies for inherited childhood lung diseases

Antisense oligonucleotides are an emerging therapeutic option to treat diseases with known genetic origin. In the age of personalised medicines, antisense oligonucleotides can sometimes be designed to target and bypass or overcome a patient's genetic mutation, in particular those lesions that compromise normal pre-mRNA processing. Antisense oligonucleotides can alter gene expression through a variety of mechanisms as determined by the chemistry and antisense oligomer design.

Exhaled breath temperature in healthy children is influenced by room temperature and lung volume

Exhaled breath temperature (EBT) has been proposed for the non-invasive assessment of airway inflammation

Australia’s first regenerative and genetic medicine program for children’s lung disease

A new program that uses cutting edge stem cell techniques to repair lung damage in children will be established at The Kids Research Institute Australia with support from the Telethon-Perth Children’s Hospital Research Fund (TPCHRF).

Ear Health

ATOMIC Ears Study The ATOMIC Ears Study aims to evaluate a new treatment designed to prevent ongoing ear infections in kids having grommet surgery.

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.

Funding boost for groundbreaking child health research

Researchers from The Kids Research Institute Australia will share in almost $4 million in grants to continue groundbreaking research to tackle childhood cancer, asthma, respiratory viral infections and more.
