Research

Early life exposure to coal mine fire smoke emissions and altered lung function in young children

Infant exposure to coal mine fire emissions could be associated with long-term impairment of lung reactance

Research

Lung function in African infants: A pilot study

Unsedated infant lung function measures of tidal breathing, MBW, and eNO are feasible in a semi-rural African setting

The facts

On average, a person can expect to take more than 700 million breaths in their lifetime.

Research

Multiple-breath washout outcomes are sensitive to inflammation and infection in children with cystic fibrosis

The lung clearance index may be a useful surveillance tool for monitoring the presence and extent of lower airway inflammation and infection

Science at Home: Build a lung model!

Have you ever wondered how your lungs work? Researchers from our Children’s Lung Health Team show you how to make a simple lung model by using common household items.

PREDICT CF: Assessing the role of lung clearance index in predicting disease progression in children with cystic fibrosis

There is increasing evidence that the assessment of ventilation distribution using the multiple breath washout (MBW) technique is sensitive to changes in disease status of children with cystic fibrosis.

Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common life‐shortening genetic disease affecting children.

Research

Chronic wet cough in Aboriginal children: It's not just a cough

Results highlight the need for a culturally appropriate information and education of the importance of chronic wet cough in children

Research

Metabolomics to predict asthma in children (MAP Study)

Childhood asthma begins as wheeze (a whistling sound produced by the airways during breathing) during pre­school age.
