Maternal Smoking During Pregnancy Induces Epigenetic Changes Into Adolescence, Independent of Postnatal Smoke Exposure and Is Associated With Cardiometabolic Risk

This study demonstrates a critical timing of cigarette smoke exposure over the life course for establishing persistent changes in DNA methylation into adolescence

Research

Viral respiratory infections and the oropharyngeal bacterial microbiota in acutely wheezing children

Bacterial airway microbiome is highly variable in early life and its role in wheeze remains less clear than viral influences

Research

Using pneumococcal carriage studies to monitor vaccine impact in low- and middle-income countries

We review the role of pneumococcal carriage studies for the evaluation of PCVs in LMICs and discuss optimal methods for conducting these studies

Research

A framework for the management of the pediatric airway

A simple, time critical, and pediatric-specific airway management approach will help to reduce airway-related pediatric morbidity and mortality

Research

Evolving Trends of Gastrostomy Insertion Within a Pediatric Population

New gastrostomy insertion among children who require long-term enteral feeding support increased over the study period

Research

Moraxella catarrhalis Restriction-Modification Systems Are Associated with Phylogenetic Lineage and Disease

We observed an association between Type III DNA methyltransferase presence and Otitis Media-associated middle ear isolates

Research

Basophil counts in PBMC populations during childhood acute wheeze/asthma are associated with future exacerbations

Our findings suggest that the proportion of degranulated basophils can also be associated with recurrent exacerbations

Research

Australian researchers oppose funding from the Foundation for a Smoke-Free World

Research and research funding must be independent of the tobacco industry, which continues to cause so much suffering

Research

Increased prevalence of expiratory flow limitation during exercise in children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia

Expiratory flow limitation is more prevalent in children born preterm with bronchopulmonary dysplasia and is associated with airway obstruction

Research

Persistent and progressive long-term lung disease in survivors of preterm birth

This review aims to summarise what is known about the long-term pulmonary outcomes of contemporary preterm birth
