Children with asthma face serious mental health risk, but the pathways remain unclear. This study aimed to examine bullying victimisation and perpetration in children with asthma and a comparison sample without a chronic health condition, and the role of bullying in moderating psychosocial adjustment outcomes for those with asthma. A sample of children with and without asthma, and their parents, were recruited from hospital clinics.
Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre PhD student Niamh Troy has found how OM85 helps babies fight off severe lung infections.
The AERIAL study, in partnership with The ORIGINS Project, endeavours to understand if exposures during pregnancy and early life can affect the cells lining the airways in newborns, and whether this is associated with the development of wheeze, allergy and asthma later in childhood.
Previous studies relating increased serum levels of folate and fat-soluble vitamins to prostate cancer risk have variously shown null associations or to either

The immunological mechanisms that contribute to multiple sclerosis (MS) differ between males and females. Females are 2-3 times more likely to develop MS compared to males, however the reason for this discrepancy is unknown. Once MS is established, there is a more inflammatory yet milder form of disease in females whereas males generally suffer from more severe disease and faster progression, neural degradation, and disability.
Researchers have made a world-first discovery on how to prevent severe respiratory infections in babies.
Trajectories of airway remodeling and functional impairment in asthma are consistent with the notion that airway pathology precedes or coincides with the onset of asthma symptoms and may be present at birth.
Childhood asthma begins as wheeze (a whistling sound produced by the airways during breathing) during preschool age.
An ambitious project that could stop children developing asthma is the centrepiece of a new world-class respiratory research centre launched in Perth.
