Excited our recent paper shows that Extending the time on CPAP in preterm infants increases lung growth and development, giving tiny lungs a big chance to thrive. 🫁👶

Extended Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Preterm Infants Increases Lung Growth at 6 Months: A Randomized Controlled Trial | American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine | Articles in Press Rationale: Extended continuous positive airway pressure (eCPAP) in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for stable preterm infants increases lung volumes. Its effect on lung growth after dischar...

Successful presentation at the Hot Topics in Neonatology conference this week! Wonderful to see so much interest in our study of extending CPAP in preterm infants study! - Dr. Cindy McEvoy

Dr. McEvoy's paper, "The Role of Lung Function in Determining Which Children Develop Asthma" was recently published!

The Role of Lung Function in Determining Which Children Develop Asthma Longitudinal studies have demonstrated that altered indices of airway function, assessed shortly after birth, are a risk factor for the subsequent dev…

Thank you to all of the wonderful families and excellent staff for supporting Dr. McEvoy's eCPAP study! 🫁

Congratulations to our very own Dr. Cindy McEvoy on her published article discussing the association between infant wheeze and prenatal hair cortisol concentration. Follow the link to read the article.

Maternal Prenatal Hair Cortisol Is Associated with Child Wheeze among Mothers and Infants with To***co Smoke Exposure and Who Face High Socioeconomic Adversity The association of co-occurring prenatal stress and to***co exposures on childhood wheezing and asthma are not well established. In this study, we compared maternal prenatal hair cortisol concentration (HCC) to the maternal report of infant wheezing (y/n) in the first year of life among mother–inf...
