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.

Humidified high-flow nasal cannula oxygen for bronchiolitis: Should we go with the flow?Current NICE 2015 guidelines for bronchiolitis state that the use of HFNC is becoming widespread without demonstration of additional efficacy.

CF derived scoring systems do not fully describe the range of structural changes seen on CT scans in PCDStructural changes identified on CT scans in primary ciliary dyskinesia are not identical to those previously described in cystic fibrosis patients

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

Upper Airway Pathology Contributes to Respiratory Symptoms in Children Born Very PretermThe upper airway may play a role in the respiratory symptoms experienced by some very preterm children and should be considered by clinicians
Research
Evaluation of the implementation and clinical effects of an intervention to improve medical follow-up and health outcomes for Aboriginal children hospitalised with chest infectionsAboriginal children hospitalised with acute lower respiratory infections (ALRIs) are at-risk of developing bronchiectasis, which can progress from untreated protracted bacterial bronchitis, often evidenced by a chronic (>4 weeks) wet cough following discharge. We aimed to facilitate follow-up for Aboriginal children hospitalised with ALRIs to provide optimal management and improve their respiratory health outcomes.
Research
Addressing Race in Pulmonary Function Testing by Aligning Intent and Evidence With Practice and PerceptionThe practice of using race or ethnicity in medicine to explain differences between individuals is being called into question because it may contribute to biased medical care and research that perpetuates health disparities and structural racism.

Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS IIIA) mice have increased lung compliance and airway resistance, decreased diaphragm strength, and no change in alveolar structureMucopolysaccharidosis type IIIA (MPS IIIA) is characterized by neurological and skeletal pathologies caused by reduced activity of the lysosomal hydrolase, sulfamidase, and the subsequent primary accumulation of undegraded heparan sulfate (HS). Respiratory pathology is considered secondary in MPS IIIA and the mechanisms are not well understood.
