Childhood atopy and mental health: a prospective, longitudinal investigation

Findings are the first linking atopy (measured by both parent report and objective verification) with increased vulnerability to affective and anxiety problems

In utero exposure to arsenic alters lung development and genes related to immune and mucociliary function in mice

In utero exposure to arsenic via drinking water increases the risk of lower respiratory tract infections during infancy and mortality from bronchiectasis in...

Funding for ground-breaking lung diagnostic technology

The Kids researchers are part of a new collaboration that has secured almost $1million for intensive research into new 4D diagnostic technology to allow accurate assessment of lung function in patients of all ages including the very sick.

Diagnosis of asbestos-related lung diseases

Consideration of the future for asbestos-related lung disease includes screening those at highest risk

Child health a focus in national research grants

The Kids Research Institute Australia researchers have been awarded more than $8 million in prestigious project grants from the NHMRC.

No association between in utero exposure to emissions from a coalmine fire and post-natal lung function

Studies linking early life exposure to air pollution and subsequent impaired lung health have focused on chronic, low-level exposures in urban settings. We aimed to determine whether in utero exposure to an acute, high-intensity air pollution episode impaired lung function 7-years later.

Intra-breath measures of respiratory mechanics in healthy African infants detect risk of respiratory illness in early life

Intra-breath forced oscillation technique can identify healthy infants at risk of developing LRTI, wheezing or severe illness in the first year of life

An exposome perspective: Early-life events and immune development in a changing world

Here we review the historical origins of exposome research and define a new concept, the metaexposome

Whole-cell pertussis vaccine in early infancy for the prevention of allergy in children

Atopic diseases are the most common chronic conditions of childhood. The apparent rise in food anaphylaxis in young children over the past three decades is of particular concern, owing to the lack of proven prevention strategies other than the timely introduction of peanut and egg.
