Structural determinants of long term functional outcomes in young children with cystic fibrosisChest CT identifies children at an early age who have adverse long-term outcomes
Research
Technical standards for respiratory oscillometryThe aim of the task force was to provide technical recommendations regarding oscillometry measurement
Research
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
Research
Upper Airway Pathology Contributes to Respiratory Symptoms in Children Born Very PretermThe upper airway may play a role in the respiratory symptoms experienced by some very preterm children and should be considered by clinicians
Research
Preschool Multiple-Breath Washout Testing. An Official American Thoracic Society Technical StatementConsensus recommendations are outlined to direct preschool device design, test performance, and data analysis for the MBW technique
Research
Persistent activation of interlinked type 2 airway epithelial gene networks in sputum-derived cells from aeroallergen-sensitized symptomatic asthmaticsOur findings provide new insight into the molecular mechanisms operative at baseline in the airway mucosa in atopic asthmatic with natural aeroallergen exposure
Research
The clinical utility of lung clearance index in early cystic fibrosis lung disease is not impacted by the number of multiple-breath washout trialsThis study aimed to determine if relationships between LCI and clinical outcomes of CF lung disease differ when only two acceptable MBW trials are assessed.
Research
Effect of posture on lung ventilation distribution and associations with structure in children with cystic fibrosisBackground: We assessed the effect of posture on ventilation distribution and the impact on associations with structural lung disease.
Research
Air trapping in early cystic fibrosis lung disease-Does CT tell the full story?Mosaic attenuation on expiratory chest computed tomography (CT) is common in early life cystic fibrosis (CF) and often referred to as "air trapping"
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
