Rates of type 2 diabetes are higher among Indigenous than non-Indigenous Australian children and adolescents.
Although preterm birth is associated with later deficits in lung function, there is a paucity of information on geographical differences and whether improvements occur over time, especially after surfactant was introduced.
To analyze the incidence of type 1 diabetes in 0- to 14-year olds in Western Australia, from 1985 to 2002, by region and socioeconomic status.
The burden of bronchiectasis is disproportionately high in Aboriginal adults, with early mortality. Bronchiectasis precursors, that is, protracted bacterial bronchitis and chronic suppurative lung disease, often commence in early childhood.
If the gut becomes damaged it may not be able to process the foods that we eat as well as it used to. This may also affect how we look after diabetes.
Bronchiectasis (not related to cystic fibrosis) is a chronic lung disease caused by a range of etiologies but characterized by abnormal airway dilatation, recurrent respiratory symptoms, impaired quality of life and reduced life expectancy.
This study is looking for the causes of type 1 diabetes, so that we can find ways to prevent it. We will follow many women around Australia during pregnancy until early childhood, looking at the child's birth, environment and genes.

A register which stores demographic and clinical data on all patients attending the diabetes clinic at Princess Margaret Hospital
Research question: Are asthma and allergies more common in adolescents conceived with assisted reproductive technologies (ART) compared with adolescents conceived without?
To conduct an analysis of children with TIDM’s cognitive profile at an age in which both cognition and cortical development are still maturing
A significant proportion of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations are strongly associated with rhinovirus infection (HRV). In this study, we combined long-term cigarette smoke exposure with HRV infection in a mouse model.
Investigating changes in retinopathy, aortic intima media thickness & heart rate variability, indicators of macrovascular disease & autonomic neuropathy
Recently, "Technical standards for respiratory oscillometry" was published, which reviewed the physiological basis of oscillometric measures and detailed the technical factors related to equipment and test performance, quality assurance and reporting of results. Here we present a review of the clinical significance and applications of oscillometry.
Studies examining associations of early-life cat and dog ownership with childhood asthma have reported inconsistent results. Several factors could explain these inconsistencies, including type of pet, timing, and degree of exposure. Our aim was to study associations of early-life cat and dog ownership with asthma in school-aged children, including the role of type (cat vs dog), timing (never, prenatal, or early childhood), and degree of ownership (number of pets owned), and the role of allergic sensitization.
Described antimicrobial resistance mechanisms enable bacteria to avoid the direct effects of antibiotics and can be monitored by in vitro susceptibility testing and genetic methods. Here we describe a mechanism of sulfamethoxazole resistance that requires a host metabolite for activity.
A Closed-Loop System will potentially have a major impact upon acute and chronic complications of diabetes as well as upon their quality of life.
This study will evaluate the effect of two types of aerobic exercise
Determining if hyperglycaemia prior to and during exercise affects the amount of carbohydrate required to maintain stable glucose levels during/after exercise
