This study will conduct a detailed lung health assessment in a follow-up of a group of preterm individuals at 19 years of age.
Children across Australia aged 4-12 years are being asked to grab their crayons, pencils or pens and create their best drawing of themselves and their siblings in a simple study that will help researchers learn more about sibling relationships.
A new evidence-based app designed to support pregnant women to live a healthy lifestyle and give their baby the best start has been launched by The Kids Research Institute Australia and the Joondalup Health Campus
An ORIGINS study aims to find out more about family screen habits to help provide clearer, more realistic advice.
Mapping when Respiratory Syncytal Virus (RSV) reaches its seasonal peak will assist how future vaccination programs are carried out.
An estimated 3.5%-5.9% of the global population live with rare diseases, and approximately 80% of these diseases have a genetic cause. Rare genetic diseases are difficult to diagnose, with some affected individuals experiencing diagnostic delays of 5-30 years. Next-generation sequencing has improved clinical diagnostic rates to 33%-48%. In a majority of cases, novel variants potentially causing the disease are discovered.
Inflammation and oxidative stress play a key role in the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), possibly contributing to persistent respiratory morbidity after preterm birth. We aimed to assess if inflammatory markers were elevated in exhaled breath condensate (EBC) of infants born very prematurely (< 32 weeks gestation) at 12-16 corrected months of age, and if increased levels were associated with BPD diagnosis and respiratory morbidity.
Despite the substantial burden of lung disease throughout childhood in children who were born very preterm, there are no evidence-based interventions to improve lung health beyond the neonatal period. We tested the hypothesis that inhaled corticosteroid improves lung function in this population.
