Randomised controlled trial of perinatal vitamin D supplementation to prevent early-onset acute respiratory infections among Australian First Nations children: the 'D-Kids' study protocol

Globally, acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are a leading cause of childhood morbidity and mortality. While ARI-related mortality is low in Australia, First Nations infants are hospitalised with ARIs up to nine times more often than their non-First Nations counterparts.

Moort Vax Waangkiny: Understanding reasons for routine vaccine uptake among Aboriginal children aged <5 years in Perth (Boorloo) metro

Aboriginal children aged younger than 5 years in Perth (Boorloo) have lower vaccine uptake compared to non-Aboriginal children.

Lung function following very preterm birth in the era of 'new' bronchopulmonary dysplasia

The pathophysiology of BPD has changed in recent years as advances in neonatal care have led to increased survival of smaller, more preterm, infants who...

Lung inflammation and simulated airway resistance in infants with cystic fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized by small airway disease; but central airways may also be affected. We hypothesized that airway resistance estimated from computational fluid dynamic (CFD) methodology in infants with CF was higher than controls and that early airway inflammation in infants with CF is associated with airway resistance.

The safety and feasibility of the inhaled mannitol challenge test in young children

Mannitol challenge tests are used clinically to diagnose asthma and, in particular, exercise-induced broncoconstriction (EIB) in adults and children above 6...

Expiratory flow limitation and breathing strategies in overweight adolescents during submaximal exercise

Young people who are overweight/obese are more likely to display expFL during submaximal exercise compared with children of healthy weight.

The next generation of impact in cystic fibrosis

Lung damage in children with CF occurs much earlier than previously thought, and proving this is related to the decline that occurs later will create new paradigms for prevention and treatment.
