Showing results for "aboriginal respiratory"
Background: We assessed the effect of posture on ventilation distribution and the impact on associations with structural lung disease.
The application of the systematic review improved inter-observer agreement but did not affect reported multiple breath washout outcomes
The Kids Research Institute Australia researchers have been awarded five of eight State Government awards designed to help cover the hidden costs of conducting research.
The Ear and Hearing Health team's vision is all children start primary school with good hearing.
ATP Binding Cassette Subfamily A Member 3 (ABCA-3) is a lipid transporter protein highly expressed in type-II alveolar (AT-II) cells. Mutations in ABCA3 can result in severe respiratory disease in infants and children. To study ABCA-3 deficiency in vitro, primary AT-II cells would be the cell culture of choice although sample accessibility is limited. Our aim was to investigate the suitability of primary nasal epithelial cells, as a surrogate culture model for AT-II cells, to study ABCA-3 deficiency.
Current NICE 2015 guidelines for bronchiolitis state that the use of HFNC is becoming widespread without demonstration of additional efficacy.
Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) collection is a non-invasive, safe method for measurement of biomarkers in patients with lung disease. Other methods of obtaining samples from the lungs, such as bronchoalveolar lavage, are invasive and require anaesthesia/sedation in neonates and infants. EBC is particularly appealing for assessing biomarkers in preterm-born infants, a population at risk of ongoing lung disease.
This study explored how children and adolescents with a neuromuscular disorder (NMD) and their parents experienced barriers and enablers to the child's participation.
Expiratory flow limitation is more prevalent in children born preterm with bronchopulmonary dysplasia and is associated with airway obstruction
This study aimed to determine how pulmonary inflammation & infection impacts on ventilation distribution throughout early life in people with cystic fibrosis.
