We describe the development of pediatric pulmonology in North America, from its rudimentary beginning in the early part of the 20th century. Milestones in the history of lung diseases affecting children, such as tuberculosis, cystic fibrosis, asthma, and neonatal lung disease, are discussed. Finally, maturation into a subspecialty recognized by the American Board of Pediatrics is described.

Growth, Body Composition, and Strength of Children With Cystic Fibrosis Treated With Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor (ETI).
Pediatr Pulmonol
January 2025
Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine, DeVos Children's Hospital, Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA.
Objective: We prospectively monitored rates of change for growth, body mass and composition, muscle strength, and FEV1 in 6-11-year-olds initiating ETI therapy, comparing them to those of US reference children. We assessed factors potentially contributing to rate of change and report ranges of individual variation.
Methods: Body composition was assessed using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and rates of change were analyzed using linear mixed effects regression models.

Social distancing adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic reduction in RSV activity, providing an unexpected opportunity to investigate this debate.
