In children, the ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV₁) to forced vital capacity (FVC) is reportedly constant or falls linearly with age...
A new report from Perth's The Kids for Child Health Research has found a strong link between childhood ear infections and exposure to tobacco smoke.
Seven innovative lung health research projects have received funding support as the 2023 Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre Strategic Inspiration Projects.
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.
This study aims to show that asthma and allergies in individuals can be predicted before it occurs based on individual family history and information on the early environment.
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.
Diesel engine exhaust exposures were higher in underground miners and had a negative association with their lung function over a single 12-h shift
Developing a FeNO test that is affordable enough to allow daily measurements, patients will be able to access quantifiable data to assist them to monitor their asthma
Acinar ventilation inhomogeneity measured by single-breath washout was not associated with structural lung disease on CT
Spacer device was not associated with clinically important differences in lung function following bronchodilator inhalation in children with asthma
