Showing results for "early lung health"
Lung function is highly heritable and differs between the sexes throughout life. However, little is known about sex-differential genetic effects on lung function. We aimed to conduct the first genome-wide genotype-by-sex interaction study on lung function to identify genetic effects that differ between males and females.
ATOMIC Ears Study The ATOMIC Ears Study aims to evaluate a new treatment designed to prevent ongoing ear infections in kids having grommet surgery.
Researchers are able to track the progress of lung disease through a comprehensive longitudinal set of biological samples, images and data archives.
Lung function trajectories are impaired in survivors of very preterm birth
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).
The present study investigated whether lung function measured by forced oscillation technique would be impaired in the presence of infection,...
Pulmonary function measures reflect respiratory health and are used in the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
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
