Unsedated infant lung function measures of tidal breathing, MBW, and eNO are feasible in a semi-rural African setting
We screened for risk factors from children's and their families' histories, and assessed the usefulness of common markers of allergic sensitisation of the...
Infant lung function (ILF) testing may provide useful information about lung growth and susceptibility to respiratory disease.
Mannitol challenge tests are used clinically to diagnose asthma and, in particular, exercise-induced broncoconstriction (EIB) in adults and children above 6...
Early life is a key period that determines long-term health. Lung development in childhood predicts lung function attained in adulthood and morbidity and mortality across the life course. We aimed to assess the effect of early-life lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) and associated risk factors on lung development from birth to school age in a South African birth cohort.
Exhaled breath temperature (EBT) has been proposed for the non-invasive assessment of airway inflammation
There is limited information on changes in FOT outcomes in healthy children beyond the preschool years and the level of bronchodilator responsiveness (BDR)...
Up to a third of ex-preterm infants flying near term exhibit pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) of less than 85% during air travel.
Young people who are overweight/obese are more likely to display expFL during submaximal exercise compared with children of healthy weight.
To evaluate current ILF testing practices and to survey users regarding the indications, limitations and perceived clinical benefits of ILF testing.
