The cost of respiratory hospitalizations in children with cerebral palsy

To establish the burden of respiratory illness in cerebral palsy (CP) on the Western Australian health care system by quantifying the costs of respiratory hospitalizations in children with CP, compared with non-respiratory hospitalizations.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus Reinfections in Children in Western Australia

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) reinfection in children is poorly understood. We examined the incidence, characteristics, and outcomes of hospital-attended RSV reinfections in children <16 years in Western Australia between 2012 and 2022.

Phage therapy for multi-drug resistant respiratory tract infections

The emergence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria is recognised today as one of the greatest challenges to public health. As traditional antimicrobials are becoming ineffective and research into new antibiotics is diminishing, a number of alternative treatments for MDR bacteria have been receiving greater attention. Bacteriophage therapies are being revisited and present a promising opportunity to reduce the burden of bacterial infection in this post-antibiotic era.

Predicting respiratory hospital admissions in young people with cerebral palsy

Most risk factors for respiratory hospital admissions in young people with cerebral palsy are potentially modifiable

Respiratory morbidity in Rett syndrome: An observational study

Rett syndrome is associated with increased vulnerability to lower respiratory tract infection requiring hospitalization

Respiratory viral infections and host responses; insights from genomics

Review of the viral sensing pathways and organizing principles that govern the innate immune response to infection

Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition in Respiratory Disease: Fact or Fiction

In this translational review, the mechanisms, roles, and impact of epithelial-mesenchymal transition in chronic lung diseases are discussed

Modelling the seasonality of respiratory syncytial virus in young children

The transmission dynamics of RSV infection among young children are still poorly understood and mathematical modelling can be used to better understand...

Small macrophages are present in early childhood respiratory disease

Recently, an established "small macrophage" phenotype has been observed in the sputum of patients with CF and COPD. However, little is known about the...

Asthma medication reduces respiratory complications during tonsil surgery

A Perth study has shown that over-the-counter asthma medication before surgery can reduce respiratory complications during and after tonsillectomy surgery.
