Great article showcasing the work of the very impressive 'BREATH' team at telethonkids Congratulations @pammylaird and team 👏

When I first visited telethonkids 6 years ago, I was lucky to witness this research in action and I just knew this team were doing some of the best #RespiratoryPhysiology research on the planet! 🌍 Very proud to now be a part of this amazing team ❤️

Sharon Lagan from the WA Branch of #ANZSRS showcasing her poster on joining the Glee Club at Royal Perth - brilliant poster, and I'm loving my first in-person #TSANZSRS2023!

Nice article from Dr Kimberley Wang and Rachel highlighting just a few of the inspirational Respiratory #Physiologists in our field.

The latest findings from the Western Australian Lung Health in Prematurity Cohort are out! 🎉 Set up over 15 years ago, this cohort has improved our understanding of long term lung health outcomes for preterm babies. Thanks to all the families who have taken part 🙏 🤖#𝕟𝕖𝕠𝕋𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕥𝕖𝕣

Here is an education roadmap for #RespiratoryAndSleepScience 🫁 - also available as a free download from healthcaresciencenews.co.uk - I hope it's useful 😀⬇️ 💙 #Physiology #Education

The AMA is supporting Australia’s first RSV Awareness Week to bring more attention to the harmful respiratory syncytial virus, which causes almost 12,000 hospital admissions each year for children under 12 months of age #RSVWeek23 ifa.org.au

The Preterm Inhaled CorticoSteroid (PICSI) RCT has beeb published! 🎉 authors.elsevier.com/c/1hJm78Mut2Mz… With ICS, only ~20% of children born <32w had meaningful improvements in lung function. We still need effective treatments for this vulnerable group. The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health #neotwitter

1/ We compared bronchodilator responses by oscillometry and spirometry and found poor agreement. - Of those with a BDR by spirometry, only 1/3 had a BDR by oscillometry (using the ERS 2020 thresholds) doi.org/10.1002/ppul.2…

2/ 50% of those with a BDR by oscillometry did not have a positive result by spirometry, - This group had a higher symptom burden 🤧, with normal 👍 spirometry. 🫁 Take home:: Consider oscillometry when spiro is normal and reactive airways are suspected! 👏 Tiffany Bradshaw

🤯 In the UK vapes are being sold in the supermarket: At the end of an aisle where you would usually find the eye-catching promos with an explanatory board on how to get started...What are you thinking Steve Barclay???

Have you heard of Physiological Sciences? 🤔👂🧠 ❤️ 🫁 👀 Such an amazing workforce that really does deserve huge recognition for what they do 🙌👏

💪Allied health professionals are absolutely #StrongerTogether! Thanks to UniMelb MDHS for this showcase of some of the allied health disciplines across the Faculty, including UniMelbDOVS, Audiology and Speech Pathology from #MSHS.

We have a fixed-term opportunity for a Respiratory Physiologist in our team - could be perfect for someone wanting to further their research skills in sunny Western Australia! Applications close 13th May telethonkids.csod.com/ux/ats/careers…

Earlier this month, we had some big reasons to celebrate our WA Respiratory Scientists at the national TSANZSRS conference! 👏 Mike Beaven: ANZSRS NIA 💫 Finn Chilcott: Jeff Pretto Memorial Research Grant 🤓🤓 Tahlia Martin & Sunari Kulasekera: outstanding poster presentations

We are conducting a #5minutesurvey with @monashuni, to understand the need for a tailored exercise program for young people born #preterm (ages 12-35) and parents of children born preterm. monash.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7a… #MedicalResearch
