Respiratory oscillometry (or the forced oscillation technique) is a highly practical lung function test that can be applied in a wide range of clinical scenarios in children and adults, including the clinic, intensive care unit, patient home monitoring and emergency departments. Oscillometry measurements complement spirometry in detecting abnormal lung function, measuring effects of treatment such as inhaled corticosteroids or bronchodilators, and changes due to disease activity.
The relative importance of respiratory viral infections vs inhalant allergy in asthma pathogenesis is the subject of ongoing debate.

Rhinovirus infection is associated with airway epithelial cell necrosis and inflammation via interleukin-1 in young children with cystic fibrosis
This study found rhinovirus infection drives necrotic cell death in cystic fibrosis airway epithelial cells
There are lots of ways of getting involved in the research at the Wesfarmers Centre.
The long-term cardiopulmonary outcomes following preterm birth during the surfactant era remain unclear. Respiratory symptoms, particularly exertional symptoms, are common in preterm children. Therefore, cardiopulmonary exercise testing may provide insights into the pathophysiology driving exertional respiratory symptoms in those born preterm. This review aims to outline the current knowledge of cardiopulmonary exercise testing in the assessment of children born preterm in the surfactant era.
Australian infants who received whole-cell pertussis vaccines were less likely to be diagnosed with food allergy in childhood
One of the biggest problems facing young people with neuromuscular disorders is the risk of breathing problems caused by muscle weakness during sleep.
