Assessment of early bronchiectasis in young children with cystic fibrosis is dependent on lung volume

The aim of this study was to determine whether assessment of early CT scan-detected bronchiectasis in young children with cystic fibrosis (CF) depends on...

Accumulation mode particles and LPS exposure induce TLR-4 dependent and independent inflammatory responses in the lung

We aimed to delineate the effects of LPS and AMP on airway inflammation, and potential contribution to airway disease by measuring airway inflammatory responses

Route of exposure alters inflammation and lung function responses to diesel exhaust

In this study, we compared the physiological consequences of short-term exposure to diesel exhaust via inhalation to those due to exposure to the same diesel...

Lung health of Aboriginal children hospitalised with chest infections improved following co-designed intervention

A co-designed and culturally secure intervention to improve medical follow-up for Aboriginal children hospitalised with acute chest infections resulted in higher follow-up rates and improved longer-term lung health outcomes for children.

Research reveals new link between Vitamin D, lung bacteria and asthma

A The Kids for Child Health Research study has uncovered a new link between vitamin D levels and asthma.

Lung structural and functional impairments in young children with cystic fibrosis diagnosed following newborn screening – A nationwide observational study

Non-invasive and sensitive clinical endpoints are needed to monitor onset and progression of early lung disease in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). We compared lung clearance index (LCI), FEV1, functional and structural lung magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) outcomes in Swiss children with CF diagnosed following newborn screening. 

Persistent Effects of Maternal Smoking during Pregnancy on Lung Function and Asthma in Adolescents

The extent to which maternal smoking in pregnancy (MSP) has persisting effects on respiratory health remains uncertain and the mechanisms involved are not...

Genetic partitioning of interleukin-6 signalling in mice dissociates Stat3 from Smad3-mediated lung fibrosis

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal disease that is unresponsive to current therapies.
