Showing results for "preterm birth lungs"
The important role of vitamin D in early development is the focus of research that has uncovered links between vitamin D levels and healthy growth of the baby d
The Kids Research Institute Australia researchers have been awarded more than $8 million in prestigious project grants from the NHMRC.
Respiratory disease is a leading cause of hospitalisations in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Over 40% of individuals with CP are born preterm; however, the relationship between prematurity, CP and respiratory disease is unknown.
The ACE sub-project is working to inform universal antenatal screening for maternal adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) by thoroughly examining their impact on the pregnancy and child.
Advances in our understanding of early cystic fibrosis lung disease led by the Australian Early Surveillance Team for Cystic Fibrosis (AREST CF) have also indicated the potential utility of a number of biomarkers for monitoring disease severity.
Sensitive and reliable tests are required to monitor lung disease severity in cystic fibrosis.
Better understanding of evolution of lung function in infants with cystic fibrosis...
Exhaled breath temperature (EBT) has been proposed for the non-invasive assessment of airway inflammation
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.
Infants with cystic fibrosis (CF) develop structural lung disease early in life, and viral infections are associated with progressive lung disease. We hypothesized that the presence of respiratory viruses would be associated with structural lung disease on computed tomography (CT) of the chest in infants with CF.
