A realist evaluation of peer mentoring support for university students with autism

Standard peer mentoring approaches can be enhanced to meet the needs of students with ASD by including training for mentors on ASD

Vitamin D deficiency causes deficits in lung function and alters lung structure

The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is increasing and has been linked to obstructive lung diseases including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Does perinatal exposure to exogenous oxytocin influence child behavioural problems and autistic-like behaviours to 20 years of age

This study is the first to investigate longitudinal mental health outcomes associated with the use of oxytocin-based medications during labour

Responsiveness of the human airway in vitro during deep inspiration and tidal oscillation

The aim of this study was to examine the in vitro response of isolated human airways to the dynamic mechanical stretch associated with normal breathing.

Study protocol for the Australian autism biobank: an international resource to advance autism discovery research

The Australian Autism Biobank was initiated to establish a large-scale repository of biological samples and detailed clinical information about children diagnosed with ASD

In utero cigarette smoke exposure impairs somatic and lung growth in BALB/c mice

The aim of this study was to assess whether in utero tobacco smoke exposure alone affects early-life lung growth and development. Pregnant BALB/c mice...

Social impairments in autism spectrum disorder are related to maternal immune history profile

this study is the first to show an association between immune activation history in the mother and increased ASD symptom severity in children with ASD

Elemental carbon exposure and lung function in schoolchildren from Mexico City

Though exposure to air pollution has a detrimental effect on respiratory health, few studies have examined the association between elemental carbon exposure...

Symptom severity in autism spectrum disorder is related to the frequency and severity of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy: a retrospective case-control study

Investigating whether the presence and severity of nausea and vomiting may be related to symptom severity in offspring with autism spectrum disorder

Differences in innate immune function between allergic and nonallergic children: New insights into immune ontogeny

We sought to explore whether allergic children show differences in microbial Toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated responses over their first 5 years of life.

A prospective study of fetal head growth, autistic traits and autism spectrum disorder

This large population-based study identified no consistent association across two cohorts between prenatal head growth and postnatal autistic traits

Homology modeling and monoclonal antibody binding of the der f 7 dust mite allergen

The group 7 allergens are important allergenic specificities for mite-sensitive patients and may need to be incorporated into new diagnostic and therapeutic...

Risk and protective factors for the health of primary care-givers of children with autism spectrum disorders or ID: a narrative review

We aimed to review original research which described factors impacting the health of primary care-givers of children with Autism or Intellectual Disability

Linking lung function and inflammatory responses in ventilator-induced lung injury

Despite decades of research, the mechanisms of ventilator-induced lung injury are poorly understood...

Prenatal maternal stress events and phenotypic outcomes in Autism Spectrum Disorder

ASD, in the context of prenatal maternal stress exposure, may be associated with a more severe phenotype, particularly when there are multiple prenatal exposures

Genome-wide association and large-scale follow up identifies 16 new loci influencing lung function

Pulmonary function measures reflect respiratory health and are used in the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

EEG power at 3 months in infants at high familial risk for autism

Reduced frontal power at 3 months may indicate increased risk for reduced expressive language skills at 12 months.

Role of innate immunity in the development of allergy and asthma

The purpose of this review is to examine the role of innate immunity in the lungs in the development of allergy and asthma.

Investigating facial phenotype in autism spectrum conditions: The importance of a hypothesis driven approach

The identification of differences in the facial phenotype of individuals with ASC may contribute to efforts to promote early identification of the condition and help elucidate etiological pathways.
