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

Route of exposure alters inflammation and lung function responses to diesel exhaust

In this study, we compared the physiological consequences of short-term exposure to diesel exhaust via inhalation to those due to exposure to the sam…

This protocol adapted an experimental animal model of disease for sensitization to ovalbumin during the immediate post-weaning period beginning at 21…

Respiratory oscillometry in infants: present challenges and future opportunities

Despite a high burden of respiratory disease among infants globally, limited options exist for lung function testing in this age group. Tidal breathi…

Change in health outcomes for First Nations children with chronic wet cough: rationale and study protocol for a multi-centre implementation science study

In children, chronic wet cough may be a sign of underlying lung disease, including protracted bacterial bronchitis (PBB) and bronchiectasis. Chronic…
