Lung function trajectories are impaired in survivors of very preterm birth
The present study investigated whether lung function measured by forced oscillation technique would be impaired in the presence of infection,...
Every child deserves the best possible start in life. Evidence demonstrates the period from pre-birth to three years is a vital period of development. It lays the foundations for a child’s future and has life-long impacts on health, education, job opportunities, social inclusion and wellbeing.
Preterm babies have a heightened risk of infection as their immune system is not mature. The Neonatal Health Team is exploring new ways to diagnose, prevent and treat infections in WA's smallest patients .
As part of the Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre’s aim to support the next generation of scientists in children’s respiratory research, a competitive scholarship program was introduced this year.
A new study has found a common asthma drug is effective for some very premature babies who go on to suffer from lung complications.
Diesel engine exhaust exposures were higher in underground miners and had a negative association with their lung function over a single 12-h shift
Antisense oligonucleotides are an emerging therapeutic option to treat diseases with known genetic origin. In the age of personalised medicines, antisense oligonucleotides can sometimes be designed to target and bypass or overcome a patient's genetic mutation, in particular those lesions that compromise normal pre-mRNA processing. Antisense oligonucleotides can alter gene expression through a variety of mechanisms as determined by the chemistry and antisense oligomer design.
Exhaled breath temperature (EBT) has been proposed for the non-invasive assessment of airway inflammation
Background: We assessed the effect of posture on ventilation distribution and the impact on associations with structural lung disease.
