Despite advances in neonatal care, preterm babies have lower lung function throughout their lifeAnalysis of worldwide research shows that despite advances in neonatal care, preterm babies have lower lung function throughout their life.

Early cystic fibrosis lung diseaseThis paper is about lung disease in patients with cyctic Fibrosis and prevention strategies to slow the onset of lung disease.
Research
Characterisation of lung function trajectories and associated early-life predictors in an Australian birth cohort studyThere is growing evidence that lung function in early-life predicts later lung function. Adverse events over the lifespan might influence an individual’s lung function trajectory, resulting in poor respiratory health. The aim of this study is to identify early-life risk factors and their impact on lung function trajectories to prevent long-term lung impairments.

Research
The role of exome sequencing in childhood interstitial or diffuse lung diseaseChildren’s interstitial and diffuse lung disease (chILD) is a complex heterogeneous group of lung disorders. Gene panel approaches have a reported diagnostic yield of ~ 12%. No data currently exist using trio exome sequencing as the standard diagnostic modality.

Early detection of lung function abnormalities in young children with cystic fibrosisIn this review, we have examined the role of lung function testing in infants and preschool children with CF.

In utero exposure to arsenic alters lung development and genes related to immune and mucociliary function in miceIn utero exposure to arsenic via drinking water increases the risk of lower respiratory tract infections during infancy and mortality from bronchiectasis in...
Research
Minimal structural lung disease in early life represents significant pathologyIn this cohort, as compared with the AREST CF cohort, the authors highlight the limited correlation between infection and inflammation with lung function and structural impairment, and that this was mainly explained by the mild changes identified in lung function and on chest CT scan.
