Distribution of Early Structural Lung Changes due to Cystic Fibrosis Detected with Chest Computed Tomography

To examine the distribution of early structural lung changes in clinically stable infants and young children with cystic fibrosis using chest computed...

Novel end points for clinical trials in young children with cystic fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease commences early in the disease progression and is the most common cause of mortality.

Progression of early structural lung disease in young children with cystic fibrosis assessed using CT

Cross-sectional studies implicate neutrophilic inflammation and pulmonary infection as risk factors for early structural lung disease in infants and young...

Early detection of lung function abnormalities in young children with cystic fibrosis

In this review, we have examined the role of lung function testing in infants and preschool children with CF.

Early disease surveillance in young children with cystic fibrosis: A qualitative analysis of parent experiences

Sensitive measures of early lung disease are being integrated into therapeutic trials and clinical practice in cystic fibrosis (CF). The impact of early disease surveillance (EDS) using these novel and often intensive techniques on young children and their families is not well researched.

The detection of bile acids in the lungs of paediatric cystic fibrosis patients is associated with altered inflammatory patterns

Our work has identified a clinically relevant host-derived factor that may participate in shaping early events in the aetiology of CF respiratory disease

Assessment of early lung disease in young children with CF: A comparison between pressure-controlled and free-breathing chest computed tomography

Our data suggest that FRC PC-CTs are less sensitive than TLC PC-CTs and that FB-CTs have similar sensitivity to PC-CTs in detecting lung disease

Rhinovirus Infection Is Associated With Airway Epithelial Cell Necrosis and Inflammation via Interleukin-1 in Young Children With Cystic Fibrosis

This study found rhinovirus infection drives necrotic cell death in cystic fibrosis airway epithelial cells

Developing a smartphone application to support social connectedness and wellbeing in young people with cystic fibrosis

This study developed and tested a highly usable, and moderately acceptable, smartphone app to improve the psychosocial health of young people living with CF

Oxidative stress and abnormal bioactive lipids in early cystic fibrosis lung disease

Several lipid biomarkers of early cystic fibrosis lung disease were identified, which point toward potential disease monitoring and therapeutic approaches
