Chest computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard for demonstrating cystic fibrosis (CF) airway disease. However, there are no standardized outcome...
Airway inflammation and infection are present from early in life, often before children are symptomatic.
Biomarkers in cystic fibrosis are used for the measurement of cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator function in order to diagnose cystic fibrosis,...
Determinants of culture success through retrospective analysis of a program of routinely brushing children with Cystic Fibrosis airway disease
Despite our current treatment, many cystic fibrosis (CF) patients still show progressive bronchiectasis and small airways disease.
Stratification of monitoring protocols based on the risk profile of the patient can help us in the future to better care for people with Cystic Fibrosis.
The airway epithelium in asthma displays altered repair and incomplete barrier formation.

Once upon a time it was infectious diseases like polio, measles or tuberculosis that most worried parents. With these threats now largely under control, parents face a new challenge – sky-rocketing rates of non-infectious diseases such as asthma, allergies and autism.
National policies are essential for countries to adapt to the negative health impacts of climate change. Children are disproportionately affected by these impacts and must be at the heart of adaptation policies to address their vulnerabilities. Adaptation commitments worldwide are integrated into national adaptation plans, nationally determined contributions, national communications, and other multisectoral policies. We aimed to evaluate how effectively national climate change policies worldwide plan to protect child health, considering a range of determinants for successful child-health adaptation.
