COVID-19 Vaccinations: Perceptions and Behaviours in People with Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia

Vaccines, 2021
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetic disease that causes recurrent respiratory infections. People with PCD may be at higher risk of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and therefore vaccination against severe acute respiratory ...

Diagnosing primary ciliary dyskinesia in Australian adults: 10 years of testing

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare inherited disorder characterised by impaired ciliary function, leading to chronic upper and lower airway disease from early life. Limited awareness of the condition contributes to delayed diagnosis, with some individuals first diagnosed in adulthood following specialised testing. We describe 91 adults

DNAH11 and a Novel Genetic Variant Associated with Situs Inversus: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Case Reports in Medicine, 2023
Background. Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), also known as the immotile-cilia syndrome, is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous syndrome. Improper function of the cilia causes impaired mucociliary clearance.

Primary ciliary dyskinesia: a biopsychosocial approach [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare heterogeneous genetic disorder associated with abnormal ciliary structure and function and characterised by progressive sinopulmonary disease. There is no ‘gold standard’ for diagnosing PCD.

Oral Health, Periodontitis, and Respiratory Diseases: Biological Pathways

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This narrative review aims to provide a comprehensive update on the potential mechanisms by which poor oral health and periodontitis impact lung health, focusing on pneumonia, COPD, and asthma. ABSTRACT Poor oral hygiene and periodontitis influence lung diseases such as pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), COVID‐19, and asthma.

Accuracy of diagnostic testing in primary ciliary dyskinesia [PDF]

, 2016
Diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) lacks a "gold standard" test and is therefore based on combinations of tests including nasal nitric oxide (nNO), high-speed video microscopy analysis (HSVMA), genotyping and transmission electron microscopy ...

Ventilation Imaging of the Lung at 0.55T With Continuous Slice Cycling

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 96, Issue 3, Page 1235-1244, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose To propose and evaluate a novel method for pulmonary ventilation imaging, offering considerably improved SNR. Methods A continuous slice cycling (CSC) acquisition scheme is proposed to exclusively capture signal modulations from respiratory motion with increased SNR.

PICADAR: a diagnostic predictive tool for primary ciliary dyskinesia [PDF]

, 2016
Symptoms of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) are nonspecific and guidance on whom to refer for testing is limited. Diagnostic tests for PCD are highly specialised, requiring expensive equipment and experienced PCD scientists. This study aims to develop a

Preoperative Pollen Exposure and Chronic Rhinosinusitis Outcomes After Endoscopic Sinus Surgery: A Pilot Investigation

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Although particulate matter is an environmental factor that may increase the risk of developing chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), the impact of pollen on CRS outcomes is understudied. Here, we analyzed the effects of preoperative pollen exposure on disease‐specific and general quality‐of‐life (QOL) outcomes after endoscopic sinus ...
