ATOMIC Ears Study The ATOMIC Ears Study aims to evaluate a new treatment designed to prevent ongoing ear infections in kids having grommet surgery.

Persistent and compartmentalised disruption of dendritic cell subpopulations in the lung following influenza A virus infection

Immunological homeostasis in the respiratory tract is thought to require balanced interactions between networks of dendritic cell (DC) subsets in lung...

Funding boost for groundbreaking child health research

Researchers from The Kids Research Institute Australia will share in almost $4 million in grants to continue groundbreaking research to tackle childhood cancer, asthma, respiratory viral infections and more.

New study brings hope for preventing lung disease in children with cystic fibrosis

Researchers at Perth's Telethon Institute are one step closer to preventing serious lung disease which is the main cause of suffering in cystic fibrosis.

Early Childhood programs

The harmful consequences of growing up amidst adversity provide a compelling reason for intervening to improve young children’s outcomes.

Variants associated with HHIP expression have sex-differential effects on lung function

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.

Lung function following very preterm birth in the era of 'new' bronchopulmonary dysplasia

The pathophysiology of BPD has changed in recent years as advances in neonatal care have led to increased survival of smaller, more preterm, infants who...

The Global Lung Initiative 2012 reference values reflect contemporary Australasian spirometry

We aimed to ascertain the fit of the European Respiratory Society Global Lung Initiative 2012 reference ranges to contemporary Australasian spirometric data.

Influence of secular trends and sample size on reference equations for lung function tests

The aim of our study was to determine the contribution of secular trends and sample size to lung function reference equations, and establish the number...

Treat early to protect lungs

Early intervention is being touted as the key to preventing lung damage in children with cystic fibrosis.
