Showing results for "lung disease preterm"
This paper is about lung disease in patients with cyctic Fibrosis and prevention strategies to slow the onset of lung disease.
This review examines the consequences of preterm birth on the airway epithelium and explores the clinical relevance of currently available models
Many survivors of preterm birth will have abnormal lung development, reduced peak lung function and, potentially, an increased rate of physiological lung function decline, each of which places them at increased risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease across the lifespan.
Identifying pediatric lung disease: A comparison of forced oscillation technique outcomes Abstract Rationale Increasing evidence suggests the forced
Laboratory models provide an important tool in helping to understand the cellular and molecular drivers of respiratory disease. Many animal models exist that model the neonatal outcomes of preterm birth.
The Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre is thrilled to see three researchers awarded prestigious Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) Chronic Respiratory Conditions grants to improve lung health in children.
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.
Acinar ventilation inhomogeneity measured by single-breath washout was not associated with structural lung disease on CT
Despite the substantial burden of lung disease throughout childhood in children who were born very preterm, there are no evidence-based interventions to improve lung health beyond the neonatal period. We tested the hypothesis that inhaled corticosteroid improves lung function in this population.
These findings suggest the utility of specific FOT outcomes is dependent on the respiratory disease being assessed
