Emerging Early Life Environmental Exposures and Lung Development

In this review article we systematically summarize the evidence for an impact on lung development of 1) maternal ingestion of arsenic contaminated drinking...

Inhaled corticosteroids to improve lung function in children (aged 6–12 years) who were born very preterm (PICSI): a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

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.

Childhood vaccination and allergy: A systematic review and meta-analysis

As the rise in prevalence of allergic diseases worldwide corresponds in time with increasing infant vaccination, it has been hypothesized that childhood vaccination may increase the risk of allergic disease. We aimed to synthesize the literature on the association between childhood vaccination and allergy.

Air pollution during pregnancy and lung development in the child

Air pollution exposure has increased in recent years and there is evidence that exposure to particulate matter can lead to adverse respiratory outcomes.

Perth researchers are leading an exciting new international study looking at genetic factors that may cause Kawasaki disease and the subsequent heart damage.

Partnering to end rheumatic heart disease

Researchers from The Kids Research Institute Australia are sharing expertise and knowledge to end rheumatic heart disease in this country.

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

Cohort profile: Pregnancy and childhood epigenetics (PACE) consortium

The PACE Consortium represents the first steps in the discovery of the role of DNA methylation in health and disease

Vitamin D deficiency affects lung growth and function

Research has discovered the first concrete evidence linking Vitamin D deficiency with poorer lung function and changes in lung growth.

Early lung surveillance of cystic fibrosis: what have we learnt?

Newborn screening (NBS) for cystic fibrosis (CF) provides an opportunity to commence management and therapeutic interventions significantly earlier
