A case-crossover analysis of traffic-related air pollution and emergency department presentations for asthma in Perth

To determine whether changes in 24-hour average background ozone (O₃), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), carbon monoxide (CO) and particulates < 10 μm (PM₁₀) increase the

Does genetic regulation of IgE begin in utero?

Elucidation of early life factors is critical to understand the development of allergic diseases, especially those manifesting in early life such as food allerg

Research

Th2-associated immunity to bacteria in asthma in teenagers and susceptibility to asthma

Bacterial colonisation of the airways is associated with increased risk of childhood asthma

Research

Relationship between environmental exposures in children and adult lung disease: the case for outdoor exposures

There is a growing understanding that chronic respiratory diseases in adults have their origins in early life

Research

Do early-life viral infections cause asthma?

Epidemiologic associations between viral lower respiratory infections (LRIs) and asthma in later childhood are well known

Research

Fragranced consumer products: effects on asthmatic Australians

Most asthmatics would prefer workplaces, healthcare facilities, and environments that are fragrance-free, which could help reduce adverse effects

Research

Persistent activation of interlinked type 2 airway epithelial gene networks in sputum-derived cells from aeroallergen-sensitized symptomatic asthmatics

Our findings provide new insight into the molecular mechanisms operative at baseline in the airway mucosa in atopic asthmatic with natural aeroallergen exposure

Research

Multiancestry association study identifies new asthma risk loci that colocalize with immune-cell enhancer marks

We identified new asthma loci, found new associations at loci implicated in the comorbidity of asthma plus hay fever and confirmed nine known loci.

After asthma: Redefining airways diseases

Identify entrenched areas of asthma management and treatment in which progress has stalled and to challenge current principles
