The discoveries that have set our research apart primarily relate to the factors early in life that cause life-long respiratory problems.

Research

This manuscript will give a brief overview of clinical trial design including the strengths and limitations of various approaches

Research

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a rare, inherited, life-limiting condition predominantly affecting the lungs, for which there is no cure. The disease is characterized by recurrent pulmonary exacerbations (PEx), which are thought to drive progressive lung damage. Management of these episodes is complex and generally involves multiple interventions targeting different aspects of disease. The emergence of innovative trials and use of Bayesian statistical methods has created renewed opportunities for studying heterogeneous populations in rare diseases.

Research

Aspergillus species and P. aeruginosa are commonly present in the lower airways from infancy

Research

This review will discuss the necessary steps required for a Bayesian adaptive platform trial to optimize treatment of pulmonary exacerbations of cystic fibrosis

News & Events

Respiratory disease remains one of the most significant complications of preterm birth, with lasting consequences.

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

Recently, "Technical standards for respiratory oscillometry" was published, which reviewed the physiological basis of oscillometric measures and detailed the technical factors related to equipment and test performance, quality assurance and reporting of results. Here we present a review of the clinical significance and applications of oscillometry.
