Evaluating the difference of the effects of Laryngeal mask airways compared to endotracheal tubes in older children (>1 year) in incidents of PRAE in infants.

End-inspiratory molar mass step correction for analysis of infant multiple breath washout tests

We aimed to evaluate the use of the EIMM-step method in a broad range of infants.

Lung function in African infants in the Drakenstein child health study impact of lower respiratory tract illness

Early life lower respiratory tract illness impairs lung function at 1 year, independent of baseline lung function

Early lung surveillance of cystic fibrosis: what have we learnt?

Newborn screening (NBS) for cystic fibrosis (CF) provides an opportunity to commence management and therapeutic interventions significantly earlier

Respiratory function and symptoms in young preterm children in the contemporary era

Preterm children have worse lung function than healthy controls

High success rate of lung function testing in healthy, unsedated 1- and 2-year-old South African children

Lung function measures in a health, unsedated 1- and 2-year-old children in a South African birth cohort study

Arsenic and respiratory disease

Arsenic is the only environmental toxin that has been linked to both malignant and nonmalignant respiratory disease following ingestion, rather than inhalation, making arsenic a unique toxicant to the respiratory system. Chronic exposure to arsenic has been associated with the development of respiratory symptoms, impaired lung function, and chronic lung disease.

Prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases in Aboriginal children: A whole population study

The burden of bronchiectasis is disproportionately high in Aboriginal adults, with early mortality. Bronchiectasis precursors, that is, protracted bacterial bronchitis and chronic suppurative lung disease, often commence in early childhood.
