Showing results for "early lung health"

Research Track Record

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

Giving kids with CF a chance at a longer, healthier life

COMBAT CF is one of two long-standing international trials which have resulted in new early intervention options helping to reduce progressive lung damage in kids living with CF.

Clinical significance and applications of oscillometry

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.
