Research

To assess the determinants of early lung function in African infants.

Research

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

Research

Appropriate interpretation of pulmonary function tests (PFTs) involves the classification of observed values as within/outside the normal range based on a reference population of healthy individuals, integrating knowledge of physiological determinants of test results into functional classifications and integrating patterns with other clinical data to estimate prognosis.

Research

Spacer device was not associated with clinically important differences in lung function following bronchodilator inhalation in children with asthma

Research

Young people who are overweight/obese are more likely to display expFL during submaximal exercise compared with children of healthy weight.

Research

We compared the ability of Ars, to standard oscillatory outcomes, to determine respiratory disease and differentiate responses to inhaled bronchial challenges.

Research

Exhaled breath temperature (EBT) has been proposed for the non-invasive assessment of airway inflammation

Research

Asthma is the most common chronic lung disease in childhood. There has been a significant worldwide effort to develop tools/methods to identify children's risk for asthma as early as possible for preventative and early management strategies. Unfortunately, most childhood asthma prediction tools using conventional statistical models have modest accuracy, sensitivity, and positive predictive value.

Research

In school-aged children with cystic fibrosis (CF) structural lung damage assessed using chest CT is associated with abnormal ventilation distribution.
