Clinical associations and prevalence of Scedosporium spp. in Australian cystic fibrosis patients: identification of novel risk factors

Risk factors for the association of Scedosporium in cases of cystic fibrosis (CF) and its clinical implications are poorly understood

Research

Gene regulation by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in CD4+CD25+ cells is enabled by IL-2

Vitamin D may be responsible for reducing the development and severity of autoimmune and allergic diseases. Topically applied 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25(O

Research

Identifying peroxidases and their oxidants in the early pathology of cystic fibrosis

We aimed to determine whether myeloperoxidase (MPO) is the main peroxidase present in the airways of children with cystic fibrosis (CF) and to assess which oxid

AP-1 inhibitory peptides attenuate in vitro cortical neuronal cell death induced by kainic acid.

This study has assessed the neuroprotective efficacy of five AP-1 inhibitory peptides in an in vitro excitotoxicity model.

High tidal volume ventilation is not deleterious in infant rats exposed to severe hemorrhage

Both high tidal volume (V(T)) ventilation and hemorrhage induce acute lung injury in adult rodents. It is not known whether injurious ventilation augments lung

Genome-Wide Association Study to Identify the Genetic Determinants of Otitis Media Susceptibility in Childhood

We identified several novel candidate genes which warrant further analysis in cohorts matched more precisely for clinical phenotypes.
