Addressing Race in Pulmonary Function Testing by Aligning Intent and Evidence With Practice and PerceptionThe practice of using race or ethnicity in medicine to explain differences between individuals is being called into question because it may contribute to biased medical care and research that perpetuates health disparities and structural racism.

Wal-yan researchers welcomed at scientific meeting in New ZealandMore than 14 researchers from the Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre will be welcomed as presenters and facilitators at The Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand and The Australia and New Zealand Society of Respiratory Science (TSANZSRS) Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) this weekend.

Exhaled breath temperature in healthy children is influenced by room temperature and lung volumeExhaled breath temperature (EBT) has been proposed for the non-invasive assessment of airway inflammation
Research
No association between in utero exposure to emissions from a coalmine fire and post-natal lung functionStudies linking early life exposure to air pollution and subsequent impaired lung health have focused on chronic, low-level exposures in urban settings. We aimed to determine whether in utero exposure to an acute, high-intensity air pollution episode impaired lung function 7-years later.

LIFECYCLE - Early Life Stressors and LifeCycle HealthLIFECYCLE is a significant and visionary project to establish an integrated set of long-term world-wide cohorts and clinical trials, which can be investigated and compared across the full life of cohort participants.

Global Lung Function Initiative reference values for multiple breath washout indicesMultiple breath washout is a lung function test based on tidal breathing that assesses lung volume and ventilation distribution. The aim of this analysis was to use the Global Lung Function Initiative methodology to develop all-age reference equations for the multiple breath washout indices lung clearance index and functional residual capacity.

Does machine learning have a role in the prediction of asthma in children?Asthma is the most common chronic lung disease in childhood. There has been a significant worldwide effort to develop tools/methods to identify children's risk for asthma as early as possible for preventative and early management strategies. Unfortunately, most childhood asthma prediction tools using conventional statistical models have modest accuracy, sensitivity, and positive predictive value.

Association between diesel engine exhaust exposure and lung function in Australian gold minersDiesel engine exhaust exposures were higher in underground miners and had a negative association with their lung function over a single 12-h shift
