When carbohydrates are ingested prior to moderate-intensity exercise, adding repeated sprints is not significantly detrimental to glycaemic management
A high-protein meal requires ~50% more insulin to maintain euglycaemia than a low-protein meal that contains the same quantity of carbohydrate
Protracted bacterial bronchitis (PBB) is a leading cause of chronic wet cough in children. The current standard treatment in European and American guidelines is 2 weeks of antibiotics, but the optimal duration of therapy is unknown. We describe the first randomised controlled trial to assess the duration of antibiotic treatment in children with chronic wet cough and suspected PBB.
This is the first comprehensive study of maturity-onset diabetes of the young variants in an unselected population-based pediatric diabetes cohort
Western Australian laboratory data demonstrated a decrease in human metapneumovirus detections through 2020 associated with SARS-CoV-2-related non-pharmaceutical interventions, followed by a subsequent surge in metropolitan region in mid-2021. We aimed to assess the impact of the surge in hMPV on paediatric hospital admissions and the contribution of changes in testing.
This study investigated the use of a carbohydrate intake algorithm based on continuous glucose monitoring trends during physical activity
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of acute lower respiratory infection in young children. We previously estimated that in 2015, 33·1 million episodes of RSV-associated acute lower respiratory infection occurred in children aged 0-60 months, resulting in a total of 118 200 deaths worldwide.
Longer suspends and fewer glycemic excursions occur at night compared with day
Lung abscess is a rare condition in paediatrics with a paucity of literature. Intravenous antibiotics is the main therapy; however interventional radiological approaches have led to the use of percutaneous drainage. Surgery is reserved for the management of complications.
Patients using insulin pump therapy had a better long-term glycemic control relative to the matched injection therapy cohort
Promotion of regular physical activity is an integral part of diabetes care delivery and health care providers should promote this message at every available opportunity
Hypoglycemia is the commonest acute complication of type 1 diabetes
There is a 20-min low exogenous glucose demand period during which the glucose requirements to maintain stable glycaemia do not increase during moderate exercise
Dr Renee Ng, a microbiologist specialising in bacteriophage therapy – an alternative to antibiotics to fight antimicrobial resistance – will travel to the world’s premier conference on viruses, bringing new ideas, connections and expertise back to Perth.
Four The Kids Research Institute Australia researchers have received prestigious fellowships and four significant cohort studies led or co-led by The Kids have received key grants under two new funding programs supported by the State Government’s Future Health Research and Innovation (FHRI) Fund.
Babies are most vulnerable to life-threatening diseases in their first few weeks of life, yet current vaccines can’t be given until two months of age.
Felix was one of 195 children to take part in Dr Debbie Palmer’s research into sunlight exposure, vitamin D and eczema.
An international team of researchers has pioneered a technique which gives unprecedented insight into the dramatic changes occurring in a baby’s body in the first week of life.
Researchers at The Kids Research Institute Australia and University of Western Australia have recently published data describing the use of an attention training game designed for school-aged children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
