There is substantial interest in studying lung function in infants, to better understand the early life origins of chronic lung diseases such as asthma.
Young adulthood is a critical life period for health and health behaviours.
While the majority of pediatric intubations are uncomplicated, the 'Can't intubate, Can't Oxygenate' scenario (CICO) does occur.
Unsedated infant lung function measures of tidal breathing, MBW, and eNO are feasible in a semi-rural African setting
We hypothesized that the presence of these markers of cystic fibrosis lung disease in the first 2 years of life would be associated with reduced lung...
We screened for risk factors from children's and their families' histories, and assessed the usefulness of common markers of allergic sensitisation of the...
Children born preterm have impaired lung function and altered lung structure. However, there are conflicting reports on how preterm birth impacts aerobic exercise capacity in childhood. We aimed to investigate how neonatal history and a diagnosis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) impact the relationship between function and structure of the lung, and aerobic capacity in school-aged children born very preterm.
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.
Chest CT identifies children at an early age who have adverse long-term outcomes
Diesel engine exhaust exposures were higher in underground miners and had a negative association with their lung function over a single 12-h shift
