Prediction of peri-operative adverse respiratory events in children: The role of exhaled nitric oxide.Increased levels of exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) may be a more objective predictor in identifying children at higher risk of peri-operative adverse respiratory...

Severe winter asthma exacerbations can be prevented by omalizumab, but there is no carryover effect.Recurrent severe asthma exacerbations are associated with decreased lung growth or accelerated loss of long function and add substantially to cost and morbidity

The influence of sighing respirations on infant lung function measured using multiple breath washout gas mixing techniquesThere is substantial interest in studying lung function in infants, to better understand the early life origins of chronic lung diseases such as asthma.
