Over the last decade, high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy has become an increasingly important and popular mode of noninvasive respiratory support. HFNC facilitates delivery humidified heated oxygen at a high flow rate generates positive airway pressure.We present five cases children with OSA without adenotonsillar hypertrophy who were treated HFNC.We demonstrated statistically significant improvement in apnea-hypopnea index nadir saturation this small cohort.We our successful experience...
We performed an observational pilot study of plasma concentrations N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in premature infants with a diagnosis bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) at 4 weeks age and after 1 month conventional therapy. Thirty-four born before 34 weeks' gestational without cardiac or infectious diseases were included. Serum NT-pro-BNP was measured all neonates age. In the BPD (n = 11), measurements repeated 6 8 under treatment. Specific clinical characteristics collected...
Ureteral motility was studied in isolated preparations obtained from 19 patients at surgery. Contraction monitored an organ bath and contraction recorded isometrically. In all but one patient rhythmic activity with a frequency of 2.0±0.3 contractions/min recorded. 6 contractions had to be elicited by stimulation prostaglandin E2 or F2α. the remaining cases started spontaneously within 30 min. bilharzia nephropathy various pathological types were Motility dose-dependently inhibited indomethacin.
To find the clinical and laboratory criteria that best predict a prolonged fever in children with parapneumonic effusion-associated pneumonia treated conservatively.Retrospective, cohort study.Children admitted to Shaare Zedek Medical Center between January 1, 1997, December 31, 2006, who had been discharged diagnosis of empyema pleurisy.One hundred-twenty were included, all whom antibiotics; 80 patients, thoracic drain was introduced; 23, pleural tap performed; 17 no special procedure...
It is not known whether SpO2 in healthy volunteers affected by sex.To evaluate there are differences between young adult males and females to the already present at birth.We studied two cohorts of patients. The first one consisted (105 102 females). In these patients, was measured as well selected anthropometric variables (height, weight), vital signs (respiratory rate, pulse rate body temperature) obtained data on menstrual cycle phase female participants. For second cohort, we reanalyzed...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Arterial hemoglobin oxygen saturation (Sa<i>O</i><sub>2</sub>) decreases at an altitude of >1,500 m. There are no reports on normal Sa<i>O</i><sub>2</sub> altitudes between 0 and 1,500 The clinical significance decreased such is unclear. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> To test the hypothesis that in healthy volunteers moderate (MA; 725 m) lower than almost sea level (SL; 43...
There is limited data regarding co-morbidities and cognitive status of asthma during childhood adolescence. The aim the current study was to explore presence in a large cohort teenagers with asthma.The medical records 314,897 consecutive 17-year-old males, undergoing comprehensive evaluation prior recruitment for military service, were reviewed. prevalence assessment subjects compared those without asthma. Both univariate multivariate logistic regression analysis performed.Active documented...
Exercise challenge test (ECT) may help in the diagnosis of asthma. Asthma is season dependent (relative summer nadir).This study was designed to prospectively show that ECT sensitivity decreases when performed and/or out personal asthma season. We two ECTs 49 patients with suspected asthma, at baseline and least 6 months later. Test positivity defined as a ≥10% drop forced expiratory volume 1 second after exercise. Patients were having exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) if one tests...
Capping protein regulator and myosin 1 linker 2 (CARMIL2) deficiency is characterized by impaired T cell activation, which attributed to defective CD28-mediated co-signaling. Herein, we aimed analyze the effect of exogenous interleukin (IL)-2 on in-vitro activation proliferation in a family with CARMIL2 deficiency. This study included four children (one male three females; aged 2·5-10 years at presentation). The patients presented inflammatory bowel disease recurrent viral infections....
A 7.5-month-old boy presented to our emergency department with shortness of breath. He was the product an in vitro fertilization pregnancy born unrelated parents. Antenatal ultrasound did not reveal any abnormalities except mild hydronephrosis. delivered at 30 weeks gestation by cesarean section because prolonged preterm rupture membranes. intubated on first day life respiratory distress syndrome, ventilated for 3 days neonatal intensive care unit and required supplemental oxygen a total 6...
Abstract Background and Objective Few studies have examined the possibility of a link between birth season risk for asthma. Those that mainly focused on young children, reached different conclusions regarding both existence such with highest risk. The purpose this study was to reinvestigate relationship asthma in very large cohort, larger than all previous studies, focusing adolescents. Methods medical records consecutive 17‐year‐old conscripts, born 1978 1999, undergoing evaluation before...
To evaluate in a prospective, cross-sectional cohort study the impact of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) on bone speed sound (SOS) asthmatic children.Children with mild-to-moderate asthma from pulmonary clinic were assessed over 2-month period. We recorded clinical and demographic data related to severity, its treatment, participation sports dairy intake. Tibial SOS was measured using Sunlight Omnisense 7000S quantitative ultrasound sonometer.Eighty-five children studied. Age range 1.4-17...
Abstract Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is an increasingly recognized diagnosis causing and may be definitively diagnosed by genetic testing. Previous authors reported the association between CCHS sinus venous thrombosis (CSVT) hypothesized that could secondary to CSVT. We report a case of with typical PHOX2B mutation who also suffered from assume effects, CCHS, upon system explain etiological connection CSVT including dysautoregulation, stasis or polycythemia. believe...
