Crowding and other strong predictors of upper respiratory tract carriage of otitis media-relatedWe investigated predictors of nasopharyngeal carriage in Australian Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children.

Prolonged use of wind or brass instruments does not alter lung function in musiciansRespiratory function impacts on musical expression for wind/brass (W/B) musicians. Investigation of musicians' respiratory health to date has rarely...

The Global Lung Initiative 2012 reference values reflect contemporary Australasian spirometryWe aimed to ascertain the fit of the European Respiratory Society Global Lung Initiative 2012 reference ranges to contemporary Australasian spirometric data.
Healthy lungs help you to breathe better. This means you can sleep better, as well as play sports, run and walk without being short winded.

Preterm Paediatric Inhaled Corticosteroids Intervention (PICSI)Understanding if ongoing inflammation in the lungs contributes to the poor lung health experienced by some children who were born preterm.

Nasal airway epithelial repair after very preterm birthNasal epithelial cells from very preterm infants have a functional defect in their ability to repair beyond the first year of life, and failed repair may be associated with antenatal steroid exposure.

Variants associated with HHIP expression have sex-differential effects on lung functionLung function is highly heritable and differs between the sexes throughout life. However, little is known about sex-differential genetic effects on lung function. We aimed to conduct the first genome-wide genotype-by-sex interaction study on lung function to identify genetic effects that differ between males and females.
