Showing results for "early lung health"

Common asthma drug gives hope for better lung health for some preterm babies

A new study has found a common asthma drug is effective for some very premature babies who go on to suffer from lung complications.

The effects of electronic cigarette aerosol exposure on inflammation and lung function in mice

This study shows, for the first time, that exposure to e-cigarette aerosol during adolescence and early adulthood is not harmless to the lungs and can result in significant impairments in lung function.

Australia’s first regenerative and genetic medicine program for children’s lung disease

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).

Early Moves Project

The Early Moves study is investigating whether a baby’s early movements can predict learning difficulties later in childhood.

Healthcare & Early Diagnosis

Exploring opportunities for early diagnosis and intervention and the impact this has on improving family healthcare.

Cystic Fibrosis Early Surveillance Program

Researchers are able to track the progress of lung disease through a comprehensive longitudinal set of biological samples, images and data archives.

Genome-wide association and large-scale follow up identifies 16 new loci influencing lung function

Pulmonary function measures reflect respiratory health and are used in the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

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 Years Systems Evidence

The Early Years Systems Evidence (EYSE) team specialises in working in partnership with governments and service providers, with a distinct focus on improving the life chances of children in Australia.

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.
