Showing results for "early lung health"

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

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.

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.

Diagnosis of asbestos-related lung diseases

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

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

Early ORIGINS: Disease prevention starts with the early years

The Joondalup Health Campus and The Kids are investigating how childhood and adult-onset diseases can be prevented during foetal development and in the early years of life.

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.

Quality of life is poorly correlated to lung disease severity in school-aged children with cystic fibrosis

There is no data exclusively on the relationship between health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) and lung disease severity in early school-aged children with cystic fibrosis (CF). Using data from the Australian Respiratory Early Surveillance Team for Cystic Fibrosis (AREST CF) we assessed the relationships between HRQOL, lung function and structure.

The one-in-a-million baby who defied the odds

When KEMH specialists first suggested using coconut oil to treat the fragile skin of Kimberly Rohrlach’s extremely premature first-born child, Isabella, she thought it was more than a little weird.

Impact of HIV and antiretroviral drug exposure on lung growth and function over 2 years in an African Birth Cohort

HIV exposure is associated with altered lung function in early life, with a vulnerable HIV-exposed uninfected subgroup based on maternal disease severity
