Elevated leukotriene B4 and 8-isoprostane in exhaled breath condensate from preterm-born infantsInflammation and oxidative stress play a key role in the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), possibly contributing to persistent respiratory morbidity after preterm birth. We aimed to assess if inflammatory markers were elevated in exhaled breath condensate (EBC) of infants born very prematurely (< 32 weeks gestation) at 12-16 corrected months of age, and if increased levels were associated with BPD diagnosis and respiratory morbidity.
The agenda of sessions for day two
A new study is helping to identify treatment options to improve the lung function of premature babies, after it was determined survivors of preterm birth were at risk of declining lung health.
Research
WALHIP Exercise StudyWhen babies are born early or ‘preterm’ their tiny bodies are put under a lot of stress that can result in health problems in later life.
The Chronobiology team works to understand the factors that contribute to poor lung and heart function in newborn infants and find ways to prevent heart and lung disease.

Very preterm babies at risk of declining lung function throughout childhoodA The Kids Research Institute Australia study published in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health has found that survivors of very preterm birth face declining lung function
Research
The ventilatory response to hypoxia is blunted in some preterm infants during the second year of lifePreterm birth and subsequent neonatal ventilatory treatment disrupts development of the hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR). An attenuated HVR has been identified in preterm neonates, however it is unknown whether the attenuation persists into the second year of life.
Research
Ventilatory response and stability of oxygen saturation during a hypoxic challenge in very preterm infantsPreterm infants have immature control of breathing and impaired pulmonary gas exchange. We hypothesized that infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) have a blunted ventilatory response and peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2 ) instability during a hypoxic challenge.

Healthy lungs, healthy lifeThe lungs are one of the last organs in the body to develop as a baby grows. They're also one of the most important.
