Early use of inhaled nedocromil sodium in children following an acute episode of asthma

Edwards, A, Lyons, J, Weinberg, E, Weinberg, F, Gillies, J, Reid, G, ...

BACKGROUND—Current guidelines on the treatment of childhood asthma recommend the introduction of an anti-inflammatory drug in children who have persistent symptoms and require regular treatment...

Muscarinic blockade of methacholine induced airway and parenchymal lung responses in anaesthetised rats

Wale, J, Petak, F, Sly, P

BACKGROUND—It has previously been shown that M1 cholinergic receptors are involved in the parenchymal response to inhaled methacholine in puppies using the M1 selective antagonist pirenzepine....

Methacholine responsiveness in infants assessed with low frequency forced oscillation and forced expiration techniques

Hall, G, Hantos, Z, Wildhaber, J, Petak, F, Sly, P

BACKGROUND—The contribution of the pulmonary tissues to the mechanical behaviour of the respiratory system is well recognised. This study was undertaken to detect airway and lung tissue responses...

Directed neutrophil migration to IL-8 is increased in cystic fibrosis: a study of the effect of erythromycin

Brennan, S, Cooper, D, Sly, P

BACKGROUND—The aim of this study was to compare neutrophil migration in cystic fibrosis (CF) and non-CF populations and to investigate the effect of erythromycin on directed migration of...

Reference values of interrupter respiratory resistance in healthy preschool white children

Lombardi, E, Sly, P, Concutelli, G, Novembre, E, Veneruso, G, Frongia, G, ...

BACKGROUND—Interrupter respiratory resistance (Rint) is reported to be useful in evaluating lung function in poorly collaborating patients. However, no reference values are available from large...

Contribution of nasal pathways to low frequency respiratory impedance in infants

Hall, G, Hantos, Z, Wildhaber, J, Sly, P

Background: In infants the impedance of the nasal pathways (Zn) is a significant proportion of the total respiratory impedance (Zrs).

Correlation of forced oscillation technique in preschool children with cystic fibrosis with pulmonary inflammation

Brennan, S, Hall, G, Horak, F, Moeller, A, Pitrez, P, Franzmann, A, ...

Background: Lung disease in cystic fibrosis (CF) is established in early childhood with recurrent bacterial infections and inflammation. Using spirometry, the effect of this early lung damage cannot...

Breast feeding and respiratory morbidity in infancy: a birth cohort study

Oddy, W, Sly, P, De Klerk, N H, Landau, L, Kendall, G, Holt, P, ...

Aim: To examine the relation between the duration of breast feeding and morbidity as a result of respiratory illness and infection in the first year of life.
