Showing results for "early lung health"
Background: We assessed the effect of posture on ventilation distribution and the impact on associations with structural lung disease.
To obtain comprehensive data on lung structure and function in mid-childhood from survivors of preterm birth.
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.
The Kids Research Institute Australia lung health researchers have launched a campaign to raise awareness of wet cough and lung disease in Aboriginal children.
Appropriate interpretation of pulmonary function tests (PFTs) involves the classification of observed values as within/outside the normal range based on a reference population of healthy individuals, integrating knowledge of physiological determinants of test results into functional classifications and integrating patterns with other clinical data to estimate prognosis.
Acinar ventilation inhomogeneity measured by single-breath washout was not associated with structural lung disease on CT
Preterm birth is associated with lifelong respiratory sequelae, yet our understanding of lung function trajectories across the lifespan remains limited. We aimed to identify patterns of spirometry development from childhood to early adulthood in survivors of very preterm birth using novel data-driven methods.
A The Kids for Child Health Research study has uncovered a new link between vitamin D levels and asthma.
This research project will investigate the traits of preterm lung disease, looking into the long-term lung health of children born preterm, aiming to identify traits that could help guide better treatments in the future.
The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between dust levels and health in Indigenous children in Western Australia
