Can baby’s early movements predict learning difficulties later in childhood?
The Opportunity At The Kids Research Institute Australia, we are bringing together community, researchers, practitioners, policy makers and funders,
A public health campaign to raise awareness about the dangers of chronic wet cough in Aboriginal children is helping to improve detection, diagnosis and management of the condition.
Findings by Professor Pat Holt revealed researchers had been heading down the wrong path in their battle strategy against respiratory allergy and asthma.
Unsedated infant lung function measures of tidal breathing, MBW, and eNO are feasible in a semi-rural African setting
Infant lung function (ILF) testing may provide useful information about lung growth and susceptibility to respiratory disease.
To evaluate current ILF testing practices and to survey users regarding the indications, limitations and perceived clinical benefits of ILF testing.
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.
Measurement of lung volumes across the life course is critical to the diagnosis and management of lung disease. The aim of the study was to use the Global Lung Function Initiative methodology to develop all-age multi-ethnic reference equations for lung volume indices determined using body plethysmography and gas dilution techniques.
While maternal high fat diet compromised litter survival, it also promoted somatic and lung growth (increased lung volume) in the offspring
