This study tests if giving very premature babies (born before 30 weeks) slightly less fluid (135 mL per kg per day) compared to a standard amount (165 mL per kg per day) can prevent bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a chronic lung disease. About 750 babies will be enrolled across…

This study aims to see if analyzing the chemicals in a child's breath can help diagnose and monitor diseases like asthma, neurological disorders, and type 1 diabetes. Researchers will collect breath samples from up to 3,600 children and teens to find patterns linked to these cond…

This study looks at how often children with leukemia or lymphoma develop a shortage of natural stress hormones after high-dose steroid treatment. Researchers will test 40 children during and after therapy to see how long the deficiency lasts and who is most at risk. The goal is t…

This study tests whether a non-invasive imaging method called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) can help doctors choose the best breathing support pressure for newborn infants on ventilators. Researchers will monitor 86 babies and measure lung function using EIT and other tes…

This study follows 140 children who have had cancer treatment to check how their lungs are working over time. Researchers use breathing tests, lung scans, and breath samples to spot early signs of lung problems. The goal is to better understand and detect lung damage caused by ca…
