New study recommends changes to cystic fibrosis monitoring in young childrenA new Australian study that looked at the long term impacts of early lung infections in young kids with cystic fibrosis has recommended changes to monitoring
Research
Surfactant protein disorders in childhood interstitial lung diseaseSurfactant, which was first identified in the 1920s, is pivotal to lower the surface tension in alveoli of the lungs and helps to lower the work of breathing and prevents atelectasis. Surfactant proteins, such as surfactant protein B and surfactant protein C, contribute to function and stability of surfactant film.

Early life exposure to coal mine fire smoke emissions and altered lung function in young childrenInfant exposure to coal mine fire emissions could be associated with long-term impairment of lung reactance
On average, a person can expect to take more than 700 million breaths in their lifetime.

The impact of respiratory viruses on lung health after preterm birthThe aim of this review is to highlight the risk factors that may contribute to increased susceptibility to viral respiratory infections among preterm infants
Research
Multiple-breath washout outcomes are sensitive to inflammation and infection in children with cystic fibrosisThe lung clearance index may be a useful surveillance tool for monitoring the presence and extent of lower airway inflammation and infection
A new study is helping to identify treatment options to improve the lung function of premature babies, after it was determined survivors of preterm birth were at risk of declining lung health.
