Showing results for "early lung health"
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.

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

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.
Surfactant, which was first identified in the 1920s, is pivotal to lower the surface tension in alveoli of the lungs and helps to lower the work of breathing and prevents atelectasis. Surfactant proteins, such as surfactant protein B and surfactant protein C, contribute to function and stability of surfactant film.
The Global Lung Function Initiative has worked to develop all‐age, multi‐ethnic reference equations for the major clinical lung function tests
A program aimed at raising awareness of the dangers of a chronic wet cough in Aboriginal children has been extended to 14 remote and regional towns in Western Australia - thanks to a partnership between The Kids Research Institute Australia and Cystic Fibrosis WA.
The world’s leading preterm scientists and doctors have joined forces to help give babies born very prematurely, the best possible life.
