Showing results for "early lung health"
In the first few years of life, the family environment is the dominant setting in young children’s lives.
Parent–child book reading interventions alone are unlikely to meet needs of children and families for whom the absence of reading is psychosocial risk factor
Lung inflammation and simulated airway resistance in infants with cystic fibrosis Cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized by small airway disease; but
Communities in the Central Great Southern region have known for years that dental health is a major issue for the smallest residents of their towns.
In cystic fibrosis, gastrointestinal dysfunction and lower airway infection occur early and are independently associated with poorer outcomes in childhood. This study aimed to define the relationship between the microbiota at each niche during the first 2 years of life, its association with growth and airway inflammation, and explanatory features in the metabolome.
The earliest respiratory function assessments, within or close to the neonatal period, consistently show correlations with lung function and with the development of asthma into adulthood. Measurements of lung function in infancy reflect the in utero period of lung development, and if early enough, show little influence of postnatal environmental exposures.
The current study sought to increase our understanding of the factors involved in the early vocabulary development of Australian Indigenous children.
Globally and even in high-income countries where a balanced diet is generally accessible, an inadequate maternal micronutrient status is common
Reasons for elective surgery cancelations and their impact vary from one institution to another. Cancelations have emotional and financial implications for patients and their families. Our service has a particularly broad and geographically diverse patient population; hence, we sought to examine these impacts in our service.
This article continues evaluation of the construct validity of the Australian Early Development Census through comparison with linked data from a sample of 2216 4-5 year old children collected as part of the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children.
