Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI) researchers have explored how existing treatments could help ease symptoms for children with wheezing and suppurative lung disease. Dr Melanie Neeland, Professor Prof Sarath Ranganathan and Dr Shivanthan Shanthikumar have co-authored a Medical Journal of Australia piece, explaining how their new research findings may influence the way these conditions are managed. "Preschool asthma or wheezing is a leading cause of hospital admission for young children in Australia...[while] a recent survey in a high risk Indigenous Australian population reported a community prevalence of 12% for the spectrum of suppurative lung conditions in children," they said. "Although the clinical presentations of these two diseases are different, we found that similar inflammatory endotypes are present in the lungs and therefore the same anti-inflammatory treatments could be effective against both."

Today is #WorldSepsisDay! Sepsis poses a huge risk, especially for newborns in resource-limited settings. Every year, 214,000 babies lose their lives due to antibiotic-resistant sepsis. It's time to act! The SNIP-AFRICA project, funded by @Global Health EDCTP3, is working to find better treatments through innovative clinical trials like NeoSep1 or the PRECISION study, focused on finding the most effective antibiotic regimens and doses for this vulnerable group. Let’s raise awareness and support efforts to fight sepsis and save newborns worldwide! 💜👶 #SNIPAFRICA https://lnkd.in/dmRPuh7M Global Health EDCTP3 European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership Penta Foundation - Child Health Research

We need to standardize clinical testing and start prognostically tracking persistently elevated NET formation in the blood that can put patients at increased risk of unwanted clotting and intravascular thrombi formation. Both COVID-19 infection and birth control meds are risk factors for the development of unwanted thrombus formation. Unfortunately, this tragedy at the UIHC is not an isolated case. Both birth control meds and especially COVID-19 infection increase the risk of intravascular thrombosis. It has been known for over a decade that NETs are part of the composition of thrombi that can cause a life-threatening loss of blood flow. Today, there should be very little doubt that persistently elevated levels of NETs in the blood circulation increase the risk of their participation in ischemic events. https://lnkd.in/e9yzjW59 Neutrophil extracellular traps form predominantly during the organizing stage of human venous thromboembolism development https://lnkd.in/ex25k_Mj Wagner et. al. 2014
