WALHIP Exercise StudyWhen babies are born early or ‘preterm’ their tiny bodies are put under a lot of stress that can result in health problems in later life.

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.

Is forced oscillation technique the next respiratory function test of choice in childhood asthmaWhile spirometry contributes to asthma diagnosis and management in older children, it has a limited role in younger children whom are unable to perform FOM.

An Official ATS/ERS Workshop Report: Evaluation of Respiratory Mechanics and Function in the Pediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care UnitsThis report summarizes techniques available for ventilated and spontaneously breathing infants and children in the ICU
Research
Genome-wide association and large-scale follow up identifies 16 new loci influencing lung functionPulmonary function measures reflect respiratory health and are used in the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Early respiratory viral infections in infants with cystic fibrosisEarly viral infections were associated with greater neutrophilic inflammation and bacterial pathogens
Research
Structural determinants of long term functional outcomes in young children with cystic fibrosisChest CT identifies children at an early age who have adverse long-term outcomes

Pulmonary Gas Exchange Improves over the First Year in Preterm Infants with and without Bronchopulmonary DysplasiaRight shift of the peripheral oxyhaemoglobin saturation (SpO2) versus inspired oxygen pressure (PIO2) curve is a sensitive marker of pulmonary gas exchange. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of prematurity and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) on gas exchange and right-to-left shunt in the neonatal period, and its evolution over the first year of life.

Vitamin D and allergic airway disease shape the murine lung microbiome in a sex-specific mannerMaintaining sufficient vitamin D is necessary for optimal lung health, and vitamin D may modulate the lung microbiome in a sex-specific fashion
