PURPOSE: To determine the ratio of fetal lung volume (FLV) to fetal body weight (FBW) by
using ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and to evaluate the …

Background: Rapid weight gain during infancy increases childhood asthma risk, which might
be related to impaired lung function. This study investigated associations between peak …

The outcome for infants with fetal lung pathologies not only depends on the nature of the
pathology, but the impact it has on the developing lungs. The main prognostic factor is the …

Objective To determine the relationship between lung ultrasound (LUS) examination, chest
radiograph (CXR), and radiographic and clinical evaluations in the assessment of lung …

Objectives: To verify whether early pulmonary mechanics measurements are useful to
predict subsequent bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and its severity. Methods …

Background Bubbly/cystic appearance on chest radiograph is an important factor in severe‐
type bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in Japan. The aim of this study was to determine …

Purpose: To prospectively assess the reliability of magnetic resonance (MR) image volume
measurement in fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and the reliability and …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Postnatal lung growth and development have primarily
been evaluated from a very limited number of autopsied lungs, but it remains unclear …

Infants born prematurely who develop chronic lung disease (CLD) have airways obstruction
and hence may have low lung volume. The aim of this study was to test that hypothesis and …

Preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) often suffer from life-long
pulmonary impairments in pulmonary physical function. This review summarizes our current …
