PRAGMA-CF, a new way of measuring early lung disease in young kids with cystic fibrosis is changing the way we detect and treat CF.
Early intervention is being touted as the key to preventing lung damage in children with cystic fibrosis.
When Ingrid Laing was born, the outlook for kids with cystic fibrosis was bleak. Her parents were told she might make it to 20 if she was lucky.
We are looking for 6 new members to join our Child and Adolescent Cystic Fibrosis Consumer Reference Group of WA
That's why Melissa has signed up her four year old healthy son Odin for a study at Perth's The Kids Research Institute Australia that will help kids with cystic fibrosis.
Professor Stephen Stick has been awarded the prestigious Richard C. Talamo Distinguished Clinical Achievement Award from the US Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
Researchers at Perth's Telethon Institute are one step closer to preventing serious lung disease which is the main cause of suffering in cystic fibrosis.
In the Saline Hypertonic in Preschoolers (SHIP) study, inhaled 7% hypertonic saline improved the lung clearance index in children aged 3-6 years with cystic fibrosis, but it remained unclear whether improvement is also seen in structural lung disease. We aimed to assess the effect of inhaled hypertonic saline on chest CT imaging in children aged 3-6 years with cystic fibrosis.
The marked heterogeneity in cystic fibrosis (CF) disease complicates the selection of those most likely to benefit from existing or emergent treatments. We aimed to predict the progression of bronchiectasis in preschool children with CF.
Scedosporium spp. are the second most prevalent filamentous fungi after Aspergillus spp. recovered from cystic fibrosis (CF) patients in various regions of the world. Although invasive infection is uncommon prior to lung transplantation, fungal colonization may be a risk factor for invasive disease with attendant high mortality post-transplantation. Abundant in the environment, Scedosporium aurantiacum has emerged as an important fungal pathogen in a range of clinical settings.
