Asthma is the most common chronic respiratory disease in children. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) a marker of inflammatory state; however, data on association NLR with acute asthma exacerbations children lacking. In this cross-sectional study, between 2016 and 2021, aged 2-18 years who were referred to emergency department (ED) due exacerbation, included. NLR, calculated from complete blood count upon arrival, was assessed as continuous variable classified into four groups...
Background The American Thoracic Society guidelines for the diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) consider presence a bi-allelic pathogenic variant confirmatory PCD, with genetic testing recommended when other diagnostic tests are less accessible. We present our experience as first line proposed algorithm high consanguinity populations. Methods Patients suspected PCD underwent according to composed three steps: (1) patients previously known causative familial/Bedouin tribal completed...
Abstract Background Acute asthma exacerbations are a common cause for emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations in children. Since the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) education system closure/total lockdown Israel on March 2020, we have noticed decrease pediatric ED an increase exacerbations. Objective to examine patterns during COVID‐19 outbreak, comparison previous year. Methods A retrospective study comparing related among children aged 2–18 years at tertiary...
Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) trans venous lead extraction (TLE) is technically challenging. Whether the use of a laser sheath reduces complications and improves outcomes still in debate. We therefore aimed at comparing our experience with without large referral center.Information all patients undergoing TLE was collected prospectively. retrospectively compared procedural prior to introduction technique sheath.During years 2007-2017, there were 850 attempted removals 407 pts....
Objective: The palmomental reflex (PMR) is a primitive reflex, which may appear when cortical inhibitory pathways are disrupted by disease. In this study, we examined whether the PMR associated with corticobulbar involvement in people ALS (PALS). Methods: was routinely tested for each patient attending clinic. Three hundred and eighteen consecutive PALS were included, of whom 271 positive (PMR+). Clinical evaluation defined presence upper motor neuron (UMN) lower (LMN) signs bulbar, cervical...
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive damage disorder caused by mutations in dystrophin gene. Cardiomyopathy may first be evident after 10 years of age and increases incidence with age. We present boy diagnosed at 18 months rare phenotype DMD association early-onset hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The cause deletion exons 51-54 HCM was verified whole exome sequencing. Novel missense variations two genes: MAP2K5 inherited from the mother ACTN2 father, or de novo. combination ,...
Children with Down syndrome (DS) often undergo flexible bronchoscopies (FB) due to common respiratory symptoms.To examine the indications, findings, and complications of FB in pediatric DS patients.A retrospective case-control study on performed patients between 2004 2021 a tertiary center. were matched controls (1:3) based age, gender, ethnicity. Data collected included demographics, comorbidities, complications.Fifty (median age 1.36 years, 56% males) 150 1.27 males), included. Evaluation...
