The link between respiratory and vascular health is well documented in adult populations. Impaired lung function is consistently associated with thicker arteries and higher incidence of cardiovascular disease. However, there are limited data on this relationship in young children and the studies that exist have focussed on populations at high risk of cardiorespiratory morbidity.
Recently, an established "small macrophage" phenotype has been observed in the sputum of patients with CF and COPD. However, little is known about the...
Research priority setting activities in paediatric chronic disease cover many discipline areas and have elicited a broad range of topics
Environmental exposure to phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA), chemicals used in the production of plastics, may increase risk for asthma and allergies. However, little is known about the long-term effects of early life exposure to these compounds.
An improved understanding of the roles of protein kinases in intracellular signalling and disease progression has driven significant advances in protein...
This paper is an introduction to a series of articles about improved measurement of lung function in patients with chronic lung disease.
Lung Clearance Index and Structural Lung Disease on Computed Tomography in Early Cystic Fibrosis Abstract Rationale: The lung clearance index is a
Lung clearance index may be a useful surveillance tool to monitor structural lung disease in preschool and school-age children with cystic fibrosis
The constant-phase model (CPM) is commonly fit to respiratory system input impedance (Z rs) to estimate lung mechanics.
