PRAGMA-CF. A Quantitative Structural Lung Disease Computed Tomography Outcome in Young Children with Cystic FibrosisChest computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard for demonstrating cystic fibrosis (CF) airway disease. However, there are no standardized outcome...

What did we learn from two decades of chest computed tomography in cystic fibrosis?Despite our current treatment, many cystic fibrosis (CF) patients still show progressive bronchiectasis and small airways disease.

Chest computed tomography: a validated surrogate endpoint of cystic fibrosis lung disease?Clinical trials for the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease are important to test and optimise new therapeutic interventions.

Hypoglycemia does not change the threshold for arousal from sleep in adolescents with type 1 diabetesIn adolescents with type 1 diabetes, hypoglycemia does not impair arousal from slow-wave sleep induced by an external auditory stimulus.

Randomised controlled trials in cystic fibrosis: What, when and how?The major morbidity and mortality from cystic fibrosis (CF) comes from progressive lung disease with bronchiectasis leading to respiratory failure

CF derived scoring systems do not fully describe the range of structural changes seen on CT scans in PCDStructural changes identified on CT scans in primary ciliary dyskinesia are not identical to those previously described in cystic fibrosis patients

Elastase Exocytosis by Airway Neutrophils Associates with Early Lung Damage in Cystic Fibrosis ChildrenProtease elastase exocytosis by airway neutrophils occurs in all cystic fibrosis children, and its cellular measure correlates with early lung damage

Determinants of sleep problems in children with intellectual disabilityChildren with intellectual disabilities are more likely to experience sleep disorders of insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness and sleep breathing disorders than typically developing children. The present study examined risk factors for these sleep disorders in 447 children (aged 5-18 years), diagnosed with an intellectual disability and comorbid autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome or Rett syndrome. Primary caregivers reported on their child's sleep using the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC), as well as medical comorbidities and functional abilities.
