Biomarkers to define the treatment end-point for pulmonary exacerbations in cystic fibrosis

Advances in our understanding of early cystic fibrosis lung disease led by the Australian Early Surveillance Team for Cystic Fibrosis (AREST CF) have also indicated the potential utility of a number of biomarkers for monitoring disease severity.

Lung function testing in preschool-aged children with cystic fibrosis in the clinical setting

This study investigated the nature and prevalence of atypical pain responses in Rett syndrome and their relationships with specific MECP2 mutations.

Early lung surveillance of cystic fibrosis: what have we learnt?

Newborn screening (NBS) for cystic fibrosis (CF) provides an opportunity to commence management and therapeutic interventions significantly earlier

Research

Inhaled corticosteroids to improve lung function in children (aged 6–12 years) who were born very preterm (PICSI): a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

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.

Impact of lung disease on respiratory impedance in young children with cystic fibrosis

The present study investigated whether lung function measured by forced oscillation technique would be impaired in the presence of infection,...

Novel end points for clinical trials in young children with cystic fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease commences early in the disease progression and is the most common cause of mortality.
