Respiratory disease is a leading cause of hospitalisations in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Over 40% of individuals with CP are born preterm; however, the relationship between prematurity, CP and respiratory disease is unknown.
Individual-based models of infectious disease dynamics commonly use network structures to represent human interactions. Network structures can vary in complexity, from single-layered with homogeneous mixing to multi-layered with clustering and layer-specific contact weights. Here we assessed policy-relevant consequences of network choice by simulating different network structures within an established individual-based model of SARS-CoV-2 dynamics.
Chorioamnionitis is a common antecedent of preterm birth and induces inflammation and oxidative stress in the fetal lungs. Reducing inflammation and oxidative stress in the fetal lungs may improve respiratory outcomes in preterm infants. Creatine is an organic acid with known anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Parents of young children with type 1 diabetes experience significantly better quality of life and reduced fear of hypoglycaemic episodes when given remote access to their child's continuous glucose monitoring, new Children's Diabetes Centre research has found.
Oliver Bowman is too young to understand the enormity of having type 1 diabetes but his young parents Brooke and Aidan know all too well the reality of having a child with a chronic disease.
Children with type 1 diabetes using an insulin pump have better glycaemic control than to those using multiple daily injections (MDI) of insulin, a new Children's Diabetes Centre study has found.
