Chest computed tomography: a validated surrogate endpoint of cystic fibrosis lung disease?

Clinical trials for the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease are important to test and optimise new therapeutic interventions.

Progression of early structural lung disease in young children with cystic fibrosis assessed using CT

Cross-sectional studies implicate neutrophilic inflammation and pulmonary infection as risk factors for early structural lung disease in infants and young...

Australia’s first regenerative and genetic medicine program for children’s lung disease

A new program that uses cutting edge stem cell techniques to repair lung damage in children will be established at The Kids Research Institute Australia with support from the Telethon-Perth Children’s Hospital Research Fund (TPCHRF).

Lung function and exhaled nitric oxide in healthy unsedated African infants

Population-appropriate lung function reference data are essential to accurately identify respiratory disease and measure response to interventions.

The global lung function initiative (GLI) network: Bringing the world’s respiratory reference values together

The Global Lung Function Initiative (GLI) Network has become the largest resource for reference values for routine lung function testing ever assembled.

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.

Wal-yan researchers to participate at scientific meeting for leaders in lung health and respiratory medicine

More than 15 researchers from the Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre will head to the Gold Coast this weekend to take part in at The Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand and The Australia and New Zealand Society of Respiratory Science (TSANZSRS) Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM).
