Prediction bias in spirometry reference equations can arise from combining equations for different age groups,...
In this review, we have examined the role of lung function testing in infants and preschool children with CF.
In infants and children with chronic respiratory disease, hypoxia is a potential risk of aircraft travel.
Advances in statistical modelling have allowed the creation of smoothly changing spirometry reference ranges that apply across a wide age range and better...
We investigated predictors of nasopharyngeal carriage in Australian Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children.
The aim of our study was to determine the contribution of secular trends and sample size to lung function reference equations, and establish the number...
Respiratory function impacts on musical expression for wind/brass (W/B) musicians. Investigation of musicians' respiratory health to date has rarely...
In children, the ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV₁) to forced vital capacity (FVC) is reportedly constant or falls linearly with age...
MECP2 duplication syndrome (MDS) is an ultrarare, X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder that is poorly understood in terms of its natural history and phenotypic variability. There is limited information on how individuals with MDS acquire, retain or lose fundamental functional skills (gross motor, purposeful hand function and communication) - that of which this study aimed to better characterise in the largest case series to date.
The airway epithelium is the primary structural and functional airway barrier and orchestrates innate immunity. Some children may have underlying epithelial vulnerabilities that contribute to the pathogenesis of acute wheeze and asthma.
