Exhaled breath temperature in healthy children is influenced by room temperature and lung volume

Exhaled breath temperature (EBT) has been proposed for the non-invasive assessment of airway inflammation

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.

Early disease surveillance in young children with cystic fibrosis: A qualitative analysis of parent experiences

Sensitive measures of early lung disease are being integrated into therapeutic trials and clinical practice in cystic fibrosis (CF). The impact of early disease surveillance (EDS) using these novel and often intensive techniques on young children and their families is not well researched.

Increased Body Mass Index during Therapy for Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Significant and Underestimated Complication

We undertook a retrospective review of children diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and treated with modern COG protocols to determine...

Identification and characterization of a dendritic cell precursor in parenchymal lung tissue

This is the first study to describe a pulmonary precursor cell for dendritic cells in lung tissue

Effect of Posture on Lung Ventilation distribution and Associations with Structure in Children with Cystic Fibrosis

Effect of Posture on Lung Ventilation distribution and Associations with Structure in Children with Cystic Fibrosis Effect of Posture on Lung

Correlation of ultra-low dose chest CT findings with physiologic measures of asbestosis

This study aimed to determine the relationship between ULDCT-ILD and measures of pulmonary function in an asbestos-exposed population.

The effects of in utero vitamin D deficiency on airway smooth muscle mass and lung function

In this study, we aimed to uncover the molecular mechanisms contributing to altered lung structure and function.

Infection, inflammation,and lung function decline in infants with cystic fibrosis

Better understanding of evolution of lung function in infants with cystic fibrosis...

ERS/ATS technical standard on interpretive strategies for routine lung function tests

Appropriate interpretation of pulmonary function tests (PFTs) involves the classification of observed values as within/outside the normal range based on a reference population of healthy individuals, integrating knowledge of physiological determinants of test results into functional classifications and integrating patterns with other clinical data to estimate prognosis.
