Quality of life is poorly correlated to lung disease severity in school-aged children with cystic fibrosisThere is no data exclusively on the relationship between health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) and lung disease severity in early school-aged children with cystic fibrosis (CF). Using data from the Australian Respiratory Early Surveillance Team for Cystic Fibrosis (AREST CF) we assessed the relationships between HRQOL, lung function and structure.

Impact of lung disease on respiratory impedance in young children with cystic fibrosisThe present study investigated whether lung function measured by forced oscillation technique would be impaired in the presence of infection,...
Research
Impact of HIV and antiretroviral drug exposure on lung growth and function over 2 years in an African Birth CohortHIV exposure is associated with altered lung function in early life, with a vulnerable HIV-exposed uninfected subgroup based on maternal disease severity
Research
Early life rhinovirus infection exacerbates house-dust-mite induced lung disease more severely in female miceEarly life rhinovirus infection influences the development of house-dust-mite induced lung disease in female, but not male mice
Research
The effects of electronic cigarette aerosol exposure on inflammation and lung function in miceThis study shows, for the first time, that exposure to e-cigarette aerosol during adolescence and early adulthood is not harmless to the lungs and can result in significant impairments in lung function.
Research
Respiratory follow-up to improve outcomes for Aboriginal children: twelve key stepsAmong Aboriginal children, the burden of acute respiratory tract infections (ALRIs) with consequent bronchiectasis post-hospitalisation is high. Clinical practice guidelines recommend medical follow-up one-month following discharge, which provides an opportunity to screen and manage persistent symptoms and may prevent bronchiectasis.

Early life arsenic exposure and acute and long-term responses to influenza A infection in miceExposure to arsenic in early life has been shown to increase the rate of respiratory infections during infancy, reduce childhood lung function, and increase...

Lung function testing in preschool-aged children with cystic fibrosis in the clinical settingThis study investigated the nature and prevalence of atypical pain responses in Rett syndrome and their relationships with specific MECP2 mutations.
