Non-invasive techniques for measuring lung mechanics in infants are needed for a better understanding of lung growth and function...

This study aimed to determine how pulmonary inflammation & infection impacts on ventilation distribution throughout early life in people with cystic fibrosis.

This paper examines whether a Vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy affects the child's lung function predisposition towards lung disease such as asthma.

This paper is an introduction to a series of articles about improved measurement of lung function in patients with chronic lung disease.

This paper is a review of lung function tests best suited to use for early detection of lung disease in Cystic Fibrosis.

Ventilated preterm infant lungs are vulnerable to overdistension and underinflation.

A lung function study carried out by Dr Shannon Simpson provided the most comprehensive follow-up of very pre-term children of any study so far carried out on the lung health of this vulnerable group.

Premedication with salbutamol to children prior to their surgery did not reduce their risk of Perioperative respiratory adverse events

An estimated 15 million babies (∼11%) are born preterm each year (before 37 weeks of gestation), the rates of which are increasing worldwide. Enhanced perinatal care, including antenatal corticosteroids, postnatal surfactant and improved respiratory management, have markedly improved survival outcomes since the 1990s, particularly for babies born very preterm (<32 weeks gestation). However, long-term pulmonary sequelae are frequent in preterm survivors and ongoing clinical management is often required.
