Lung function in African infants: A pilot study

Infant lung function (ILF) testing may provide useful information about lung growth and susceptibility to respiratory disease.

Research

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia: Rationale for a pathophysiological rather than treatment based approach to diagnosis

This review describes the evolution of bronchopulmonary dysplasia definitions, evaluates the benefits and limitations of each approach

Research

Clinical investigation of respiratory system admittance in preschool children

We compared the ability of Ars, to standard oscillatory outcomes, to determine respiratory disease and differentiate responses to inhaled bronchial challenges.

Research

Altered lung structure and function in mid-childhood survivors of very preterm birth

To obtain comprehensive data on lung structure and function in mid-childhood from survivors of preterm birth.

Commentaries on Viewpoint: Standards for quantitative assessment of lung structure.

Commentaries on Viewpoint: Standards for quantitative assessment of lung structure. Instillation fixation and overinflation of the mouse lun

Air trapping in early cystic fibrosis lung disease-Does CT tell the full story?

Mosaic attenuation on expiratory chest computed tomography (CT) is common in early life cystic fibrosis (CF) and often referred to as "air trapping"

Research

Cuffed vs. uncuffed tracheal tubes in children: A randomised controlled trial comparing leak, tidal volume and complications

Our study compared tidal volume and leakage around cuffed and uncuffed tracheal tubes in children who required standardised mechanical ventilation of the lungs.

Research

How ‘healthy’ do children really need to be? Going beyond the limits

The authors assessed the impact of including preschool‐aged children with a history of preterm birth, early life wheeze, asthma diagnoses and/or recent respiratory symptoms in healthy reference ranges for respiratory impedance using the forced oscillation technique (FOT).

Research

Lung function in African infants: A pilot study

Unsedated infant lung function measures of tidal breathing, MBW, and eNO are feasible in a semi-rural African setting

Testing your lungs: Spirometry

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.
