BackgroundAsthma is the most common chronic disease in children globally. The Global Asthma Network (GAN) Phase I study aimed to determine if worldwide burden of asthma symptoms changing.MethodsThis updated cross-sectional used same methods as International and Allergies Childhood (ISAAC) III. were assessed from centres that completed GAN ISAAC (1993–95), III (2001–03), or both. We included individuals two age groups (children aged 6–7 years adolescents 13–14 years) who self-completed...
BackgroundRespiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is an important cause of pneumonia mortality in young children. However, clinical data for fatal RSV are scarce. We aimed to identify and socioeconomic characteristics children aged younger than 5 years with RSV-related using individual patient data.MethodsIn this retrospective case series, we developed online questionnaire obtain who died community-acquired between Jan 1, 1995, Oct 31, 2015, through leading research groups child...
BackgroundAsthma is one of the most common non-communicable diseases globally. This study aimed to assess asthma medicine use, management plan availability, and disease control in childhood, adolescence, adulthood across different country settings.MethodsWe used data from Global Asthma Network Phase I cross-sectional epidemiological (2015–20). A validated, written questionnaire was distributed via schools three age groups (children, 6–7 years; adolescents, 13–14 adults, ≥19 years). Eligible...
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of pediatric death, with >99% mortality occurring in low- and lower middle-income countries. At least half RSV-related deaths are estimated to occur the community, but clinical characteristics this group children remain poorly characterized.The RSV Global Online Mortality Database (RSV GOLD), global registry under-5 who have died illness, describes dying through data sharing. GOLD acts as collaborative platform for deaths, including...
Human rhinoviruses (HRVs) belong to the Picornaviridae family with high similarity human enteroviruses (HEVs). Limited data is available from Latin America regarding clinical presentation and strains of these viruses in respiratory disease. We collected nasopharyngeal swabs at clinics located eight American countries 3,375 subjects aged 25 years or younger who presented influenza-like illness. Our had a median age 3 1.2:1.0 male:female ratio. HRV was identified 16% HEV 3%. HRVs accounted for...
Resumen La biorremediación de suelos contaminados por hidrocarburos es una técnica en crecimiento Latinoamérica para mitigar problemas ambientales. Este artículo evalúa tres enfoques: lavado con surfactantes, método biológico cultivo sólido y electrorremediación. Se utilizó un enfoque mixto, combinando análisis cuantitativos cualitativos. El surfactantes efectivo permeables, pero genera residuos secundarios. mostró alta remoción contaminantes (94,8%), mientras que la electrorremediación...
Despite the disease burden imposed by respiratory diseases on children in Central America, there is a paucity of data describing etiologic agents disease.To analyze viral associated with influenza-like illness (ILI) participants reporting to one outpatient health center, pediatric hospital, and three general hospitals El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua Material &Between August 2006 April 2009, pharyngeal swabs were collected from outpatients inpatients. Patient specimens inoculated onto...
Abstract Background Recent influenza antiviral resistance studies reveal an alarming increase in both adamantanes and neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs) resistant viral strains worldwide, particularly Asia, Europe the United States. Objectives In this study, we have evaluated virus Central South America. Methods Influenza viruses, isolated from symptomatic patients throughout America 2005–2008 were analyzed for inhibitor resistance. The M2 NA genes of viruses sequenced was inferred by...
Background Human parainfluenza viruses ( HPIV s) are common viral causes of community‐acquired pneumonia, particularly in children. The four types have world‐wide distribution; however, limited information exists about the epidemiological profile L atin‐ A merica. Objective Provide epidemiologic and phylogenetic s that circulated atin merica between 2006 2010 to better characterize extent variability this respiratory virus region. Methods Oropharyngeal swabs, demographic data clinical...
Purpose: To investigate the prevalence and types of potential drug interactions in primary care patients to detect risky prescriptions as an essential condition design intervention policies leading improvement patient safety. Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study. Setting: Two areas Spain comprising 715 661 inhabitants. Patients: 430 525 subjects with electronic medical records assigned a family doctor regularly updating them. Results: On random day, 29.4% population was taking...
Abstract Background Understanding respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) global epidemiology is important to inform future prevention strategies. Methods Hospitalized infants <1-year-old with acute illness were enrolled prospectively in Albania, Jordan, Nicaragua, and Philippines during seasons 2015–2017. Medical chart review, parental interview, post-discharge follow up conducted. Respiratory specimens tested using real-time RT-PCR for RSV. Infant characteristics associated very severe...

Here we report on 4 hospitalized patients with dengue-influenza virus coinfections. All were RT-PCR positive for dengue and pandemic influenza A H1N1. Clinical findings at presentation ranged from influenza-like illness to severe dengue. progression of the infections varied, but all developed symptoms had interstitial infiltrates. Three cases required intensive care management 1 case was fatal.
The authors tested the effectiveness and estimated cost of several interventions aimed at reducing drug interactions in primary care by designing a 15-month cluster-controlled trial. trial involved 265 family physicians their patients who were randomized into 4 groups: control, report (received feedback reports), session (group sessions), face-to-face (personal interviews). outcome was mean relevant detected on electronic medical records. Cost-effectiveness defined as incremental to reduce...
Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) is a major cause of viral lower tract infections among infants and young children. HRSV strains vary genetically antigenically have been classified into two broad subgroups, A B (HRSV-A HRSV-B, respectively). To date, little known about the circulating in Latin America. We evaluated genetic diversity 96 by sequencing variable region G protein gene isolates collected from 2007 to 2009 Central South Our results show presence antigenic subgroups during...
Human Adenoviruses are recognized pathogens, causing a broad spectrum of diseases. Serotype identification is critical for epidemiological surveillance, detection new strains and understanding HAdvs pathogenesis. Little data available about subtypes in Latin America.In this study, we have molecularly characterized 213 adenoviruses collected from ILI presenting patients, during 2006-08, Central South America.Our results indicate that 161(76%) belong to subgroup C, 45 (21%) B 7 (3%) subtype E4.
