In utero and early-life nitrate in drinking water impacts lung function of weanling rats

Consumption of nitrate in drinking water has previously been associated with a range of adverse health effects, including methemoglobinemia and potentially cancer. In animal models, it has been shown to impact respiratory structure and function, however, there is a paucity of data of the effects of in utero exposure on the respiratory health of offspring.

The role and therapeutic implications of T cells in cancer of the lung

This review examines the role of T cells in lung cancer, discussing the direction and clinical significance of current and future immunotherapeutic strategies

The effects of electronic cigarette aerosol exposure on inflammation and lung function in mice

This study shows, for the first time, that exposure to e-cigarette aerosol during adolescence and early adulthood is not harmless to the lungs and can result in significant impairments in lung function.

Sexual dimorphism in lung function responses to acute influenza A infection

Males are generally more susceptible to respiratory infections; however, there are few data on the physiological responses to such infections in males and...

Infant feeding and growth trajectory patterns in childhood and body composition in young adulthood

Full breastfeeding for <3 months compared with ≥3 months may be associated with rapid growth in early childhood and body composition in young adulthood

Impact of early childhood infection on child development and school performance: a population-based study

Childhood infection might be associated with adverse child development and neurocognitive outcomes, but the results have been inconsistent. 

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.

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

Standardization of epidemiological surveillance of rheumatic heart disease

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is a long-term sequela of acute rheumatic fever (ARF), which classically begins after an untreated or undertreated infection caused by Streptococcus pyogenes (Strep A). RHD develops after the heart valves are permanently damaged due to ARF.
