With more than one in four Australian children overweight or obese, and the significant risks this poses for health problems like asthma, depression,...
To investigate the long-term effects of early-life recurrent otitis media (OM) and subsequent behavioural problems in children at the age of 10 years.
The objective of the study was to examine the influence of anxious/depressed scores on cardiovascular risk factors throughout childhood.
ORIGINS sub-project, The Flourishing Child, has received a $746,051 grant from the Medical Research Future Fund to develop a Flourishing Assessment and Pathway Tool to address gaps in early intervention for children's mental health.
The The Kids Cancer Centre is at the cutting edge of developing new, safer ways of treating children with cancer using their own immune systems.
In utero exposure to arsenic via drinking water increases the risk of lower respiratory tract infections during infancy and mortality from bronchiectasis in...
Climate change models predict that atmospheric carbon dioxide [CO2] levels will be between 700 and 900 ppm within the next 80yrs. In this study we aimed to assess the respiratory structure and function effects of long-term exposure to 890ppm CO2 from preconception to adulthood using a mouse model.
Rare childhood cancers have not benefited to the same extent from the gains that have been made for their frequently occurring counterparts.
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is associated with asthma. Murine models of IUGR have altered airway responsiveness in the absence of any inflammatory exposure. Given that a primary feature of asthma is airway inflammation, IUGR-affected individuals may develop more substantial respiratory impairment if subsequently exposed to an allergen. This study used a maternal hypoxia-induced mouse model of IUGR to determine the combined effects of IUGR and allergy on airway responsiveness.
A wet cough in a child for more than four weeks could indicate infection in the lungs. The wet cough is caused by mucus in the airway. The mucus becomes infected with bacteria and causes airway inflammation that can progress to permanent lung damage known as bronchiectasis.
