The Kids Research Institute Australia researchers have been awarded more than $10 million in research funding from the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC).
Findings by Professor Pat Holt revealed researchers had been heading down the wrong path in their battle strategy against respiratory allergy and asthma.
One in ten Australians have asthma and Dr Kimberley Wang from The Kids Research Institute Australia is on a mission to find out what causes it.
The lungs are one of the last organs in the body to develop as a baby grows. They're also one of the most important.
A The Kids for Child Health Research study has uncovered a new link between vitamin D levels and asthma.
A new study has found that young children with severe or persistent asthma are at higher risk of developing many common mental health problems.
Australian scientists have today launched a world first research trial into a treatment that could prevent asthma in high risk children.
Two Australian scientists are spearheading an international campaign that's challenging the way asthma drugs are developed and tested.
Studies examining associations of early-life cat and dog ownership with childhood asthma have reported inconsistent results. Several factors could explain these inconsistencies, including type of pet, timing, and degree of exposure. Our aim was to study associations of early-life cat and dog ownership with asthma in school-aged children, including the role of type (cat vs dog), timing (never, prenatal, or early childhood), and degree of ownership (number of pets owned), and the role of allergic sensitization.
Recently, "Technical standards for respiratory oscillometry" was published, which reviewed the physiological basis of oscillometric measures and detailed the technical factors related to equipment and test performance, quality assurance and reporting of results. Here we present a review of the clinical significance and applications of oscillometry.
