Showing results for "lung disease preterm"

Global push to eliminate confusion on lung function tests

A global research network has taken another step towards standardising the way doctors interpret commonly used lung function tests.

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...

Longitudinal effects of prenatal exposure to plastic-derived chemicals and their metabolites on asthma and lung function from childhood into adulthood

Environmental exposure to phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA), chemicals used in the production of plastics, may increase risk for asthma and allergies. However, little is known about the long-term effects of early life exposure to these compounds.

Comparison of "IN-REC-SUR-E" and LISA in preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrome: a randomized controlled trial (IN-REC-LISA trial)

Surfactant is a well-established therapy for preterm neonates affected by respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). The goals of different methods of surfactant administration are to reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation and the severity of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD); however, the optimal administration method remains unknown. 

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.

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.

Maternal high fat diet compromises survival and modulates lung development of offspring, and impairs lung function of dams

While maternal high fat diet compromised litter survival, it also promoted somatic and lung growth (increased lung volume) in the offspring

Community connections key to improving children’s lung health

The key to improving the lung health of Aboriginal children lies in establishing strong community connections. 

Asbestos-Related Non-Malignant Pleural Disease and Mesothelioma

This chapter deals with asbestos-related non-malignant pleural disease and mesothelioma.

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
