Lung function testing in preschool-aged children with cystic fibrosis in the clinical setting

This study investigated the nature and prevalence of atypical pain responses in Rett syndrome and their relationships with specific MECP2 mutations.

Lung volume and ventilation inhomogeneity in preterm infants at 15-18 months corrected age

To assess whether lung volume and ventilation inhomogeneity in preterm infants at 15-18 months corrected age

Lung inflammation and simulated airway resistance in infants with cystic fibrosis

Lung inflammation and simulated airway resistance in infants with cystic fibrosis Cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized by small airway disease; but

Changes in lung volume during spells in children with Tetralogy of Fallot under general anesthesia

To describe the changes in end-expiratory lung volume and ventilation inhomogeneities during spells in three children with Tetralogy of Fallot.

Prenatal Origins of Obstructive Airway Disease: Starting on the Wrong Trajectory?

From the results of well-performed population health studies, we now have excellent data demonstrating that deficits in adult lung function may be present early in life, possibly as a result of developmental disorders, incurring a lifelong risk of obstructive airway diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 

Confirmation of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia Variants, ARID5B and IKZF1, and interaction with parental environmental exposures

The polygenic nature of childhood ALL predisposition together with the timing of environmental triggers may hold vital clues for disease etiology.

Midwives’ attitudes, beliefs and concerns about childhood vaccination: A review of the global literature

The majority of midwives supported vaccination, although a spectrum of beliefs and concerns emerged

Developing clinical predictors of disease progression in children with neuromuscular disorders to prevent future respiratory failure

Birth order and childhood type 1 diabetes risk: A pooled analysis of 31 observational studies

Background: The incidence rates of childhood onset type 1 diabetes are almost universally increasing across the globe but the aetiology of the disease...

Characterisation of lung function trajectories and associated early-life predictors in an Australian birth cohort study

There is growing evidence that lung function in early-life predicts later lung function. Adverse events over the lifespan might influence an individual’s lung function trajectory, resulting in poor respiratory health. The aim of this study is to identify early-life risk factors and their impact on lung function trajectories to prevent long-term lung impairments.
