CIRCA DIEM is using an inexpensive set of eye masks and ear plugs to teach babies born too soon how to tell the difference between night and day – a simple skill which could have lifelong implications for their health and development.

This paper is an introduction to a series of articles about improved measurement of lung function in patients with chronic lung disease.

Early life lower respiratory tract illness impairs lung function at 1 year, independent of baseline lung function

The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is increasing and has been linked to obstructive lung diseases including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Lung Clearance Index and Structural Lung Disease on Computed Tomography in Early Cystic Fibrosis Abstract Rationale: The lung clearance index is a

The constant-phase model (CPM) is commonly fit to respiratory system input impedance (Z rs) to estimate lung mechanics.

Research is needed to determine best practice for genomic testing in the context of child interstitial or diffuse lung disease. We explored parent's and child's health-related quality of life, parents' perceived understanding of a genomic testing study, satisfaction with information and the study and decisional regret to undertake genomic testing.

A study which set out to determine ways to predict the long-term lung health of young adults born very preterm has shown that a childhood history of respiratory hospital admission should be a key consideration in the management of preterm children and adults.

This study will conduct a detailed lung health assessment in a follow-up of a group of preterm individuals at 19 years of age.

In this cohort, as compared with the AREST CF cohort, the authors highlight the limited correlation between infection and inflammation with lung function and structural impairment, and that this was mainly explained by the mild changes identified in lung function and on chest CT scan.
