Showing results for "lung disease preterm"
The discoveries that have set our research apart primarily relate to the factors early in life that cause life-long respiratory problems.

Developing sensitive endpoints for respiratory disease progression in children with neuromuscular diseaseWe hope that through earlier diagnosis and treatment of muscle weakness during sleep, we can prevent future lung failure in children with neuromuscular disorders.

MetaNeb Versus Usual Care During Exacerbations of Cystic Fibrosis: An RCTDuring exacerbations, when symptom and treatment burden are increased, individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) are likely to prefer airway clearance techniques (ACTs) that require minimal effort. Therefore, in adults with CF who were hospitalised with an exacerbation, we sought to compare the effect of the MetaNeb with usual ACTs on respiratory function and expectorated sputum.
The Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre is made up of multi-disciplinary teams that are committed to improving the lives of children and their families living with respiratory disease.

ERS technical standard on bronchial challenge testing: pathophysiology and methodology of indirect airway challenge testingAssessment of airway hyperresponsiveness are valuable tools to understand and to monitor airway function and to characterise the underlying asthma phenotype to guide therapy

Peri-operative adverse respiratory events in childrenWe screened for risk factors from children's and their families' histories, and assessed the usefulness of common markers of allergic sensitisation of the...

Health service utilisation for acute respiratory infections in infants graduating from the neonatal intensive care unit: a population-based cohort studyDespite advances in neonatal intensive care, babies admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) suffer from adverse outcomes. We aim to describe the longer-term respiratory infectious morbidity of infants discharged from NICU using state-wide population-based linked data in Western Australia.

Prediction of peri-operative adverse respiratory events in children: The role of exhaled nitric oxide.Increased levels of exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) may be a more objective predictor in identifying children at higher risk of peri-operative adverse respiratory...

Respiratory impedance and bronchodilator responsiveness in healthy children aged 2-13 yearsThere is limited information on changes in FOT outcomes in healthy children beyond the preschool years and the level of bronchodilator responsiveness (BDR)...
