Showing results for "early lung health"

Science at Home: Build a lung model!

Have you ever wondered how your lungs work? Researchers from our Children’s Lung Health Team show you how to make a simple lung model by using common household items.

Switch on the immune system early

Findings by Professor Pat Holt revealed researchers had been heading down the wrong path in their battle strategy against respiratory allergy and asthma.

Genomic testing for children with interstitial and diffuse lung disease (chILD): parent satisfaction, understanding and health-related quality of life

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.

Cerebral Palsy Respiratory Health

We know from research that the risk of death from respiratory disease is 14 times higher for adults with cerebral palsy than for other adults. Respiratory disease is the most common cause of premature death in children and young people with cerebral palsy and one of the main causes of hospitalisation.

Predicting long term lung health outcomes in young adults born very preterm (WALHIP 19 year old follow-up)

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

Other health conditions

Mental health concerns in youth are important in their own right. However, they can be even more troubling when your child is dealing with other health conditions.

Minimal structural lung disease in early life represents significant pathology

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.

Factors influencing the assessment of lung function in mice with influenza-induced lung disease

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