Association between early respiratory viral infections and structural lung disease in infants with cystic fibrosis

Infants with cystic fibrosis (CF) develop structural lung disease early in life, and viral infections are associated with progressive lung disease. We hypothesized that the presence of respiratory viruses would be associated with structural lung disease on computed tomography (CT) of the chest in infants with CF.

Lots to celebrate as Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre turns 2

As the Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre turns two, the Centre celebrates its achievements and thanks everyone involved in the work of the Centre.

Current options in aerosolised drug therapy for children receiving respiratory support

In this review, we explore current knowledge and provide guidance as to when and how the inhaled route may be of value when treating patients whose tracheas are intubated

Lung health of Aboriginal children hospitalised with chest infections improved following co-designed intervention

A co-designed and culturally secure intervention to improve medical follow-up for Aboriginal children hospitalised with acute chest infections resulted in higher follow-up rates and improved longer-term lung health outcomes for children.

Reduced forced vital capacity in Aboriginal Australians: Biology or missing evidence?

This editorial article addresses chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung function testing in Aboriginal Australians.

Impact of lung disease on respiratory impedance in young children with cystic fibrosis

The present study investigated whether lung function measured by forced oscillation technique would be impaired in the presence of infection,...

Early respiratory infection is associated with reduced spirometry in children with cystic fibrosis

We hypothesized that the presence of these markers of cystic fibrosis lung disease in the first 2 years of life would be associated with reduced lung...

Effectiveness of Palivizumab against Respiratory Syncytial Virus: Cohort and Case Series Analysis

Palivizumab appeared effective for reducing virologically confirmed respiratory syncytial virus in this high-risk cohort

Upper Airway Pathology Contributes to Respiratory Symptoms in Children Born Very Preterm

The upper airway may play a role in the respiratory symptoms experienced by some very preterm children and should be considered by clinicians

Wal-yan researchers to present at largest respiratory meeting in the world

A large contingent of researchers from the Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre are heading to Spain in September to participate in the European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress – the largest respiratory meeting in the world.
