Upper Airway Pathology Contributes to Respiratory Symptoms in Children Born Very Preterm

The upper airway may play a role in the respiratory symptoms experienced by some very preterm children and should be considered by clinicians

Research

Lung abnormalities do not influence aerobic capacity in school children born preterm

Children born preterm have impaired lung function and altered lung structure. However, there are conflicting reports on how preterm birth impacts aerobic exercise capacity in childhood. We aimed to investigate how neonatal history and a diagnosis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) impact the relationship between function and structure of the lung, and aerobic capacity in school-aged children born very preterm.

We won't find what we don't look for: Identifying barriers and enablers of chronic wet cough in Aboriginal children

Key barriers to effective management of chronic wet cough are limited training in chronic wet cough management combined with competing complexities

The association between Staphylococcus aureus and subsequent bronchiectasis in children with cystic fibrosis

De novo S. aureus acquisition at age 3 is associated with later bronchiectasis and FEF25-75 in children with CF

Intra-breath measures of respiratory mechanics in healthy African infants detect risk of respiratory illness in early life

Intra-breath forced oscillation technique can identify healthy infants at risk of developing LRTI, wheezing or severe illness in the first year of life

Research

The effect of aquatic high-intensity interval training on aerobic performance, strength and body composition in a non-athletic population

In a non-athletic population, aquatic-high-intensity interval training was safe and may have improved aerobic performance and lower limb strength

Epidural insertion height for ureteric reimplant surgery; does location matter?

The caudal catheter technique was superior at reducing pain interventions, particularly bladder spasm interventions

Research

Investigating the relationship between environmental factors and respiratory health outcomes in school children using the forced oscillation technique

The significance of both indoor and outdoor sources of air pollution and effect modifiers such as green space and heating require further investigation
