Variants associated with HHIP expression have sex-differential effects on lung function

Lung 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.

Structural determinants of long term functional outcomes in young children with cystic fibrosis

Chest CT identifies children at an early age who have adverse long-term outcomes

Association between diesel engine exhaust exposure and lung function in Australian gold miners

Diesel engine exhaust exposures were higher in underground miners and had a negative association with their lung function over a single 12-h shift

The effect of 100% oxygen on tidal breathing parameters in preschool children

This study aimed to determine whether breathing 100% oxygen altered tidal breathing parameters in healthy young children and young children with CF.

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

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

Reference values for spirometry and their use in test interpretation: A Position Statement from the Australian and New Zealand Society of Respiratory Science

The ANZSRS recommends the adoption of the Global Lung Function Initiative (GLI) 2012 spirometry reference values throughout Australia and New Zealand

Multiple breath washout cannot be used for tidal breath parameter analysis in infants

There are differences in tidal breathing parameters during multiple breath washout testing with SF6 gas mixture in infants

A systematic approach to multiple breath nitrogen washout test quality

The application of the systematic review improved inter-observer agreement but did not affect reported multiple breath washout outcomes

Reference values for spirometry and their use in test interpretation: A Position Statement from the Australian and New Zealand Society of Respiratory Science

The ANZSRS recommends the adoption of the Global Lung Function Initiative (GLI) 2012 spirometry reference values throughout Australia and New Zealand

Impact of lung disease on respiratory impedance in young children with cystic fibrosis

The present study investigated whether lung function measured by forced oscillation technique would be impaired in the presence of infection,...
