Providing most appropriate noninvasive ventilation (NIV) for preterm infants remains priority in neonatal intensive care units. Several newer modes of ventilation have evolved including continuous positive airway pressure, nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation and noninvasive high frequency ventilation to meet patients' demands. Advanced level of monitoring is performed while patients are receiving NIV for optimization of the respiratory support. Point of care lung ultrasound and electrical impedance tomography are the newer tools that give insights towards aeration of the lungs. Pulmonary near infrared spectroscopy, electromyography of the diaphragm and advanced techniques of noninvasive pulmonary function testing provide data focusing on the performance of lungs. The hybrid modalities of ventilators used often in adults are needed in neonates to provide on demand individualized level of noninvasive respiratory support. Automated oxygen adjustment, inhaled nitric oxide and heliox can be benefcial when successfully provided through NIV. Delivery room NIV has a strong potential to improve neonatal outcomes. Further research should be focused taking into consideration physiologic needs and applying customized approach to meet patient's demands. Artificial intelligence leading to precision treatment is the way forward for providing individualized respiratory support for newborn infants.

Fatigue is common among adults with cystic fibrosis (awCF) and may be associated with systemic inflammation. This study examines systemic inflammation, measured by C-reactive protein (CRP), and fatigue, assessed using the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) vitality domain, in individuals initiating elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) therapy. In a cohort of 61 awCF from St.

Introduction: Family caregivers play an indispensable role in the care of solid organ transplant patients, undertaking a wide range of tasks from basic daily care to complex medical management. However, these responsibilities come with substantial challenges, placing additional strain on caregivers who bear significant physical, emotional, financial and social burdens, along with numerous unmet support needs. Currently, the exploration of challenges and support needs among family caregivers in the caregiving process is limited to primary research, lacking a synthesised and comprehensive understanding of the issues.

Background: Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) causes a significant burden of illness for children under 2 years of age. Nirsevimab, a long-acting monoclonal antibody, was registered for RSV prevention in Australia in 2023. In April 2024, Western Australia (WA) launched the country's first state-wide nirsevimab program for all infants and high-risk children entering their second RSV season.

Purpose: Medically tailored transitional foods (TFs) may be a clinically viable alternative to pureed consistency for individuals requiring texture-modified foods. However, little remains known about the performance of TFs during the swallow. The purpose of this investigation was to describe oropharyngeal swallowing physiology in patients with dysphagia during consumption of TFs as compared to pureed solids.
