Increased allergic immune response to Sarcoptes scabiei antigens in crusted versus ordinary scabies

Scabies, a parasitic skin infestation by the burrowing "itch" mite Sarcoptes scabiei, causes significant health problems for children and adults worldwide.

Risk assessment for respiratory complications in paediatric anaesthesia: a prospective cohort study

Perioperative respiratory adverse events in children are one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality during paediatric anaesthesia.

Contribution of an intrinsic lag of continuous glucose monitoring systems to differences in measured and actual glucose concentrations

Current continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems measure glucose levels in the interstitial fluid to estimate blood glucose concentration.

Evaluation of the processes of family-centred care for young children with intellectual disability in Western Australia

Government early intervention services for children with intellectual disability (ID) in Western Australia have adopted the model of family-centred care.

Fetal androgen exposure and pragmatic language ability of girls in middle childhood

Prenatal exposure to testosterone has been shown to affect fetal brain maturation as well as postnatal cognition and behavior in animal studies.

Deep inspiration and airway physiology: human, canine, porcine, or bovine?

Maternal and umbilical cord androgen concentrations do not predict digit ratio (2D:4D) in girls:

Digit ratio (2D:4D) is widely used as a marker of prenatal androgen exposure

Monocytes from children with clinically stable cystic fibrosis show enhanced expression of Toll-like receptor 4

Lung disease in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized by recurrent bacterial respiratory infections and intense airway inflammation.

No role for neutrophil elastase in influenza-induced cellular recruitment, cytokine production or airway hyperresponsiveness in mice

Previous studies have suggested that in vitro modulation of neutrophil chemokines and inflammatory cytokines by neutrophil elastase (NE) does not translate to t

Contribution of an intrinsic lag of continuous glucose monitoring systems to differences in measured

Owing to the high rates of malignant mesothelioma in workers exposed to crocidolite earlier at Wittenoom and evidence of protection against cancer by vitamin A,
