Research
Early detection of lung function abnormalities in young children with cystic fibrosisIn this review, we have examined the role of lung function testing in infants and preschool children with CF.
Research
The ventilatory response to hypoxia is blunted in some preterm infants during the second year of lifePreterm birth and subsequent neonatal ventilatory treatment disrupts development of the hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR). An attenuated HVR has been identified in preterm neonates, however it is unknown whether the attenuation persists into the second year of life.

Predicting long term lung health outcomes in young adults born very preterm (WALHIP 19 year old follow-up)Graham Shannon Elizabeth Hall Simpson Smith BAppSci PhD CRFS FANZSRS FThorSoc FERS BMedSci (hons), PhD PhD, MSc, BSc Honorary Research Associate
Research
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia: Rationale for a pathophysiological rather than treatment based approach to diagnosisThis review describes the evolution of bronchopulmonary dysplasia definitions, evaluates the benefits and limitations of each approach
Research
Identifying pediatric lung disease: A comparison of forced oscillation technique outcomesThese findings suggest the utility of specific FOT outcomes is dependent on the respiratory disease being assessed
Research
Living with lung disease: experimental models to assess the long-term effects of prematurityLaboratory models provide an important tool in helping to understand the cellular and molecular drivers of respiratory disease. Many animal models exist that model the neonatal outcomes of preterm birth.
Research
Inhaled corticosteroids to improve lung function in children (aged 6–12 years) who were born very preterm (PICSI): a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trialDespite the substantial burden of lung disease throughout childhood in children who were born very preterm, there are no evidence-based interventions to improve lung health beyond the neonatal period. We tested the hypothesis that inhaled corticosteroid improves lung function in this population.
Research
Technical standards for respiratory oscillometryThe aim of the task force was to provide technical recommendations regarding oscillometry measurement
A new study is helping to identify treatment options to improve the lung function of premature babies, after it was determined survivors of preterm birth were at risk of declining lung health.
