Showing results for "early lung health"
Unsedated infant lung function measures of tidal breathing, MBW, and eNO are feasible in a semi-rural African setting
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.
The Global Lung Function Initiative has worked to develop all‐age, multi‐ethnic reference equations for the major clinical lung function tests
The world’s leading preterm scientists and doctors have joined forces to help give babies born very prematurely, the best possible life.
A program aimed at raising awareness of the dangers of a chronic wet cough in Aboriginal children has been extended to 14 remote and regional towns in Western Australia - thanks to a partnership between The Kids Research Institute Australia and Cystic Fibrosis WA.

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
General anesthesia is associated with development of pulmonary atelectasis. Children are more vulnerable to the development and adverse effects of atelectasis. We review the physiology and risk factors for the development of atelectasis in pediatric patients under general anesthesia.
