Early detection of lung function abnormalities in young children with cystic fibrosis

In this review, we have examined the role of lung function testing in infants and preschool children with CF.

LIFECYCLE - Early Life Stressors and LifeCycle Health

LIFECYCLE is a significant and visionary project to establish an integrated set of long-term world-wide cohorts and clinical trials, which can be investigated and compared across the full life of cohort participants.

Lessons from COVID-19: A reflection on the strengths and weakness of early consensus recommendations for pediatric difficult airway management during a respiratory viral pandemic using a modified Delphi method

The authors recognized a gap in existing guidelines and convened a modified Delphi process to address novel issues in pediatric difficult airway management raised by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Pediatric Difficult Intubation Collaborative, a working group of the Society for Pediatric Anesthesia, assembled an international panel to reach consensus recommendations on pediatric difficult airway management during the COVID-19 pandemic using a modified Delphi method.

No association between in utero exposure to emissions from a coalmine fire and post-natal lung function

Studies linking early life exposure to air pollution and subsequent impaired lung health have focused on chronic, low-level exposures in urban settings. We aimed to determine whether in utero exposure to an acute, high-intensity air pollution episode impaired lung function 7-years later.

Defining the appropriate waiting time between multiple-breath nitrogen washout measurements

This letter addresses the recommendations by the American Thoracic Society & European Respiratory Society in 2005, that patients must wait 15-60mins between...

Using lung function measurements to greater advantage in patients with lung disease: Which test and when?

This paper is an introduction to a series of articles about improved measurement of lung function in patients with chronic lung disease.

Increased exhaled nitric oxide in wind and brass musicians

Playing a wind or brass (W/B) instrument is considered a strenuous activity for the respiratory system.
