bronchiolitis/obesity

OBJECTIVE Increasing evidence suggests that overweight children are at increased risk of asthma. The association between weight gain and allergy is more complex. The aim was to evaluate the association between overweight or obesity and asthma, allergy, bronchial reactivity or atopic sensitization at

Seven species of coronavirus cause of acute respiratory illness in humans. Coronavirus HKU 1 (CoV-HKU 1) was first described in 2005 in an adult patient with pneumonia in Hong Kong. Although it is a well-known respiratory tract pathogen, there is not much information about its role in hospitalized

OBJECTIVE Obesity has been linked with asthma symptoms, need for asthma treatment and reduced lung function but not with increased bronchial reactivity in children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between previous or current weight status and current lung function and bronchial

OBJECTIVE Low birth weight, high birth weight and excessive weight gain after birth may be risk factors for asthma in childhood, but their associations with wheezing in early childhood are poorly studied. The aim of the study was to evaluate birth weight, weight gain in early infancy and overweight

BACKGROUND Morbid obesity may be associated with hospitalization and possibly death from the 2009 pandemic H1N1 infection, suggesting a yet unknown association between obesity and the severity of viral infections. Thus, we examined association between obesity ratios and duration of disease in

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between weight status and asthma, allergy and respiratory symptoms in adolescents with bronchiolitis in infancy. METHODS At age 15-18 years, a questionnaire was sent to 96 study subjects hospitalized for wheezing at age <24 months and

A controlled trial has been carried out to test the widely held "clinical impression" that overweight infants have a greater liability to respiratory infections than those of normal weight. Two matched groups of children aged between 3 months and 2 years were studied, containing children whose

BACKGROUND The relationship between excess weight gain and asthma in childhood remains inadequately defined. The aim of this study was to evaluate, as part of a prospective post-bronchiolitis follow-up, whether there is a link between earlier or current overweight or obesity and asthma or asthma

Acute viral bronchiolitis is a common respiratory infectious disease of infancy. A prospective study was carried out with 175 infants aged up to six months to evaluate their nutritional and breastfeeding status as possible risk factors for unfavourable evolution of previously-healthy infants from a

In this study we sought to determine survival rates after use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a bridge to lung re-transplantation (re-LT). Propensity-adjusted analysis was performed on data from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) to evaluate survival in

OBJECTIVE To use clinical and spirometry findings in order to distinguish between the restrictive and nonspecific patterns of pulmonary function test results in patients with low FVC and a normal or elevated FEV1/FVC ratio. METHODS We analyzed the pulmonary function test results of 211 adult

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) develop autoantibodies against a spectrum of antigens, but the clinical significance of these autoantibodies is unclear. Using a phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) approach, we examined the association between autoantibodies and clinical subphenotypes of

BACKGROUND Wheezing in early childhood is a heterogeneous condition, the longterm prognosis varying from total recovery to chronic asthma. Though short-term outcome has been actively studied, there is lack of data on long-term outcome until adulthood. The aim of the study was to evaluate the
