Fighting lung disease

Culturally secure intervention to facilitate medical follow up for Aboriginal children, after being hospitalised with chest infections, have proven to improve long-term lung health outcomes.

Using lung function measurements to greater advantage in patients with lung disease: Which test and when?

This paper is an introduction to a series of articles about improved measurement of lung function in patients with chronic lung disease.

Lung Clearance Index and Structural Lung Disease on Computed Tomography in Early Cystic Fibrosis

Lung clearance index may be a useful surveillance tool to monitor structural lung disease in preschool and school-age children with cystic fibrosis

Predicting long term lung health outcomes in young adults born very preterm (WALHIP 19 year old follow-up)

This study will conduct a detailed lung health assessment in a follow-up of a group of preterm individuals at 19 years of age.

New risk factor identified to help predict the long-term lung health of young adults born very preterm

A study which set out to determine ways to predict the long-term lung health of young adults born very preterm has shown that a childhood history of respiratory hospital admission should be a key consideration in the management of preterm children and adults.

Preterm birth and exercise capacity: what do we currently know?

The long-term cardiopulmonary outcomes following preterm birth during the surfactant era remain unclear. Respiratory symptoms, particularly exertional symptoms, are common in preterm children. Therefore, cardiopulmonary exercise testing may provide insights into the pathophysiology driving exertional respiratory symptoms in those born preterm. This review aims to outline the current knowledge of cardiopulmonary exercise testing in the assessment of children born preterm in the surfactant era.

Early cystic fibrosis lung disease

This paper is about lung disease in patients with cyctic Fibrosis and prevention strategies to slow the onset of lung disease.

Nasal airway epithelial repair after very preterm birth

Nasal epithelial cells from very preterm infants have a functional defect in their ability to repair beyond the first year of life, and failed repair may be associated with antenatal steroid exposure.

Preterm birth: Born too soon for the developing airway epithelium

This review examines the consequences of preterm birth on the airway epithelium and explores the clinical relevance of currently available models
