Asthma affects about half a million Australian children and is one of the most common reasons why kids need to see a doctor or go to emergency.
Examining whether consuming prebiotic fibre in pregnancy reduces the risk of developing allergic disease in the first three years of life.
The Metabolomics to Predict Asthma (MAP) study has reached an important turning point. After examining the ‘chemical fingerprints’ of more than 300 children, the team is now taking a new approach, turning to proteins to better understand which young children with recurrent wheeze go on to develop asthma.
MECP2 mutations mainly occur in females with Rett syndrome. Mutations have been described in 11 boys with progressive encephalopathy...
The BCG vaccine has long been recognized for reducing the risk to suffer from infectious diseases unrelated to its target disease, tuberculosis. Evidence from human trials demonstrate substantial reductions in all-cause mortality, especially in the first week of life. Observational studies have identified an association between BCG vaccination and reduced risk of respiratory infectious disease and clinical malaria later in childhood.
We aimed to investigate the risk factors for different wheezing phenotypes in Chinese young children and to explore the prognosis of recurrent wheezing
Recurrent severe asthma exacerbations are associated with decreased lung growth or accelerated loss of long function and add substantially to cost and morbidity
Developed a specific Haemophilus influenzae quantitative PCR (qPCR) that also identifies fucose-negative and protein D-negative strains
Free NE activity is deleterious for epithelial homeostasis and support the hypothesis that proteases in the airway contribute to CF structural lung disease
We outline the processes involved in conducting a Proof of Concept data linkage project including the implementation of national data integration principles
