Lung inflammation and simulated airway resistance in infants with cystic fibrosisCystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized by small airway disease; but central airways may also be affected. We hypothesized that airway resistance estimated from computational fluid dynamic (CFD) methodology in infants with CF was higher than controls and that early airway inflammation in infants with CF is associated with airway resistance.

Lung function changes in children exposed to mine fire smoke in infancyChronic, low-intensity air pollution exposure has been consistently associated with reduced lung function throughout childhood. However, there is limited research regarding the implications of acute, high-intensity air pollution exposure. We aimed to determine whether there were any associations between early life exposure to such an episode and lung growth trajectories.

Lung function following very preterm birth in the era of 'new' bronchopulmonary dysplasiaThe pathophysiology of BPD has changed in recent years as advances in neonatal care have led to increased survival of smaller, more preterm, infants who...

Early lung surveillance of cystic fibrosis: what have we learnt?Newborn screening (NBS) for cystic fibrosis (CF) provides an opportunity to commence management and therapeutic interventions significantly earlier

Is forced oscillation technique the next respiratory function test of choice in childhood asthmaWhile spirometry contributes to asthma diagnosis and management in older children, it has a limited role in younger children whom are unable to perform FOM.
