A clinical trial conducted in a neonatal intensive care unit has identified a new treatment protocol to improve lung growth and function among preterm infants. Adding two weeks of continuous positive ...

A new study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), a center supported by the "la Caixa" Foundation, sheds light on the growth of lung function in children. The results show that ...

A study has shown how lung capacity evolves from childhood to old age. Until now, it was thought that lung function increased until it peaked at around 20-25 years of age, after which it stabilized.

Background The relationship of social determinants of health (SDOH), environmental exposures and medical history to lung function trajectories is underexplored. A better understanding of these ...

"Small lung syndrome" is proposed to address persistent low lung volume linked with comorbidities, requiring a new ICD code for accurate diagnosis. Early intervention in lung function trajectories can ...
