Impact of pediatric anesthesia management on cancer outcomes in children—a narrative review

The relationship between anesthetic technique and pediatric oncological outcomes is an emerging field of interest. With significant improvements in childhood cancer survival in recent decades, there is an increased focus on optimizing the quality of survival and reducing the incidence of metastasis and recurrence. The aim of this narrative review article is to investigate and consolidate the current available evidence assessing the immunomodulatory effects of anesthesia in the pediatric oncology population.

High rates of suppurative otitis media among children attending urban clinics in Goroka, Eastern Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea: a cross-sectional study

Otitis media (OM) is the leading cause of childhood hearing loss but its burden in low-middle-income countries like Papua New Guinea (PNG) is poorly understood. We aimed to determine the proportion of children aged ≤15 years attending clinics in Goroka, Eastern Highlands Province, PNG with OM and associated risk factors.

A Phase I/II, Multicentre, Observer-blinded, Randomized, Active Controlled, Clinical Trial to Assess the Reactogenicity, Safety and Immunogenicity of a combined Tetanus, Diphtheria, Acellular Pertussis and Poliomyelitis Vaccine (SIIPL Tdap-IPV) in Compari

We are looking for children and teenagers to take part in an important study investigating the effectiveness of a new combination booster vaccine designed to protect against tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough) and polio.

Immune Development in Early Life (IDEaL) longitudinal cohort study protocol: Identifying biomarkers of vaccine responsiveness, respiratory infection, and asthma

Early-life immune development is a critical factor in predicting the risk of childhood respiratory infections, asthma, and poor vaccine responses. Identifying immune endotypes that predispose children to these conditions could lead to the development of predictive biomarkers and early interventions, potentially improving long-term health outcomes.

Big run ends, race for cure continues

Our local legend, brain cancer researcher Jacob Byrne, has crossed the finish line of his final marathon, completing his Big Run for Little Brains - 30 marathons in 30 days, covering 1266km across Perth’s local government areas.

Respiratory infection- and asthma-prone, low vaccine responder children demonstrate distinct mononuclear cell DNA methylation pathways

nfants with frequent viral and bacterial respiratory infections exhibit compromised immunity to routine immunizations. They are also more likely to develop chronic respiratory diseases in later childhood. This study investigated the feasibility of epigenetic profiling to reveal endotype-specific molecular pathways with potential for early identification and immuno-modulation. 

Telethon Institute joins international effort to improve early nutrition and long term health

The Kids for Child Health Research will join more than 50 scientists from 36 research institutions around the world to improve early nutrition

A Phase 3 Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of MEDI8897, a Monoclonal Antibody With an Extended Half-life Against Respiratory Syncytial Virus, in Healthy Late Preterm and Term Infants (MELODY)

The MELODY Study is a Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose study to determine if MEDI8897 will prevent medically attended Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) -confirmed Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (LRTI) in healthy infants entering their first RSV season.

A phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active comparator-controlled study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of V114 in healthy infants (PNEULINK)

The study is a phase 3, Multicentre, Randomised, Double-blind, Active Comparator-controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of V114 in Health Infants.
