Neonatal Respiratory Care
Research activity includes less invasive surfactant administration for newborns with respiratory distress syndrome, with attention to premedication strategies using ketamine or fentanyl.
- Surfactant treatment
- Premedication in neonatal procedures
- Respiratory distress syndrome
The clinical focus is on improving procedural tolerability and respiratory support in early life.
Pediatric Wheezing and Airway Inflammation
Trials address acute wheezing in infants and toddlers, particularly episodes linked to rhinovirus and other picornavirus infections, with interest in oral prednisolone for symptom control.
- Rhinovirus-induced wheezing
- Picornavirus-associated respiratory illness
- Early childhood emergency care
This area centers on respiratory management in young children during acute viral illness.
Maternal and Perinatal Infection Prevention
Clinical research includes intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis to reduce Group G and Group C Streptococcus transmission from pregnant women to the newborn during childbirth.
- Pregnancy-related streptococcal colonisation
- Perinatal infection prevention
- Maternal-newborn bacterial protection
The studies are positioned within obstetric infectious disease care and neonatal protection.
Contraception and Hormonal Health
Work in this domain examines combined contraceptives and progestin-only regimens, with particular interest in coagulation effects and use in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
- Combined hormonal contraception
- Coagulation-related outcomes
- Polycystic ovary syndrome
The therapeutic emphasis is on reproductive health and the physiological effects of contraceptive formulations.
