Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist prevents murine bronchopulmonary dysplasia induced by perinatal inflammation and hyperoxia

…, TD Samarasinghe, EM Skuza… - Proceedings of the …, 2013 - National Acad Sciences
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common lung disease of premature infants, with
devastating short- and long-term consequences. The pathogenesis of BPD is multifactorial, but …

Loop gain as a means to predict a positive airway pressure suppression of Cheyne-Stokes respiration in patients with heart failure

…, BA Edwards, K Kee, A Turton, EM Skuza… - American journal of …, 2011 - atsjournals.org
Rationale: Patients with heart failure (HF) and Cheyne-Stokes respiration or periodic
breathing (PB) often demonstrate improved cardiac function when treatment with continuous …

The effect of body position on physiological factors that contribute to obstructive sleep apnea

…, BA Edwards, A Wellman, A Turton, EM Skuza… - Sleep, 2015 - academic.oup.com
Study objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) resolves in lateral sleep in 20% of patients.
However, the effect of lateral positioning on factors contributing to OSA has not been studied…

Continuous positive airway pressure reduces loop gain and resolves periodic central apneas in the lamb

BA Edwards, SA Sands, C Feeney, EM Skuza… - Respiratory physiology …, 2009 - Elsevier
Continous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is used to treat infant respiratory distress syndrome
and apnea of prematurity, but its mode of action is not fully understood. We hypothesised …

Mechanism underlying accelerated arterial oxygen desaturation during recurrent apnea

SA Sands, BA Edwards, VJ Kelly, EM Skuza… - American journal of …, 2010 - atsjournals.org
Rationale: Brief recurrent apneas in preterm infants and adults can precipitate rapid and
severe arterial O 2 desaturation for reasons that remain unclear. Objectives: We tested a …

Increased peripheral chemosensitivity via dopaminergic manipulation promotes respiratory instability in lambs

BA Edwards, SA Sands, EM Skuza, EM Stockx… - Respiratory physiology …, 2008 - Elsevier
Periodic breathing (PB) is an instability of the respiratory control system believed to be
mediated principally by the peripheral chemoreceptors. We hypothesised that domperidone, a …

[HTML][HTML] Postnatal development of periodic breathing cycle duration in term and preterm infants

MH Wilkinson, EM Skuza, GC Rennie, SA Sands… - Pediatric …, 2007 - nature.com
Previous studies of the maturation of periodic breathing cycle duration (PCD) with postnatal
age in infants have yielded conflicting results. PCD is reported to fall in term infants over the …

Variability in tracheal mucociliary transport is not controlled by beating cilia in lambs in vivo during ventilation with humidified and nonhumidified air

SJ Kelly, V Brodecky, EM Skuza… - American Journal of …, 2021 - journals.physiology.org
Mucociliary transport in the respiratory epithelium depends on beating of cilia to move a
mucus layer containing trapped inhaled particles toward the mouth. Little is known about the …

Interactions between the right ventricle and pulmonary vasculature in the fetus

DA Grant, E Hollander, EM Skuza… - Journal of Applied …, 1999 - journals.physiology.org
A midsystolic plateau differentiates the pattern of fetal pulmonary trunk blood flow from aortic
flow. To determine whether this plateau arises from interactions between the left (LV) and …

The effect of prenatal maternal infection on respiratory function in mouse offspring: evidence for enhanced chemosensitivity

…, SA Sands, EM Skuza… - Journal of Applied …, 2015 - journals.physiology.org
Systemic maternal inflammation is implicated in preterm birth and bronchopulmonary
dysplasia (BPD) and may induce morbidities including reduced pulmonary function, sleep-…
