As a paediatrician and researcher, I witness on a daily basis the extraordinary benefits of Western Australian health and medical research to individual patients and the community.
STAMP RSV is a multifaceted program of work with the single focus to prepare the community for the uptake of new and emerging RSV immunisation strategies by providing the evidence to inform public health policy.
Acute rheumatic fever (ARF) is a multiorgan inflammatory disorder that results from the body's autoimmune response to pharyngitis or a skin infection caused by Streptococcus pyogenes (Strep A).

The science that interprets the way nutrients and other substances in food affect maintenance, growth, reproduction, health and disease.
Our researchers want to know if starting a gluten-free diet reduces daily glycaemic variability in children and young people with both type 1 diabetes and newly-diagnosed coeliac disease.
When performing computerized tomography chest imaging in children, obtaining high quality, motion-free images is important in the accurate diagnosis of underlying pathology. General anesthesia is associated with the development of atelectasis, which can impair accurate diagnosis by obscuring or altering the appearance of the lung parenchyma or airways.
Information is scarce about the occupational health effects of exposure to alumina dust. This study examines the respiratory effects of inspirable alumina dust exposure in alumina refineries.
Nanoparticle research is currently an area of considerable interest due to the potential applications both in industry and medicine.
In adults, respiratory movements, such as tidal and deep breaths, reduce airway smooth muscle force and cause bronchodilation.
