Showing results for "lung disease preterm"
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is a long-term sequela of acute rheumatic fever (ARF), which classically begins after an untreated or undertreated infection caused by Streptococcus pyogenes (Strep A). RHD develops after the heart valves are permanently damaged due to ARF.
Disease spreading models such as the ubiquitous SIS compartmental model and its numerous variants are widely used to understand and predict the behavior of a given epidemic or information diffusion process. A common approach to imbue more realism to the spreading process is to constrain simulations to a network structure, where connected nodes update their disease state based on pairwise interactions along the edges of their local neighborhood.
Evidence suggests that intramuscular vitamin A reduces the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants. Our objective was to compare enteral water-soluble vitamin A with placebo supplementation to reduce the severity of BPD in extremely preterm infants.
This editorial viewpoint regarding the outcomes from the third global Rheumatic Heart Disease Forum intends to carry forward dialogue & engage new...
Four outstanding researchers from the Wal-yan Centre - Professor André Schultz, Professor Stephen Stick, Rebecca Watson and Michael Beaven - have been presented with prestigious awards in acknowledgement of their research aimed at improving the lives of children with respiratory illness.
Recent studies have demonstrated that some children with acute bronchiolitis can be successfully managed using home oxygen therapy.
Prediction bias in spirometry reference equations can arise from combining equations for different age groups,...
We aimed to systematically review and assess the performance of all published models that predicted development of COPD
Premedication with salbutamol to children prior to their surgery did not reduce their risk of Perioperative respiratory adverse events
Five years of intensive collaboration between researchers, clinicians, Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations, and government and non-government organisations have finally put the long-fought for goal of ending RHD within reach.
