Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is associated with abnormal structure and function, which results in retention of mucus bacteria the respiratory tract, leading to chronic oto-sino-pulmonary disease, situs abnormalities sperm motility. The diagnosis PCD requires presence characteristic clinical phenotype either specific ultrastructural defects identified by transmission electron microscopy or evidence function. Although management children affected remains uncertain limited, it important...
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a hereditary disorder of mucociliary clearance causing chronic upper and lower airways disease. We determined the number patients with diagnosed PCD across Europe, described age at diagnosis risk factors for late diagnosis. Centres treating children in Europe answered questionnaires provided anonymous patient lists. In total, 223 centres from 26 countries reported 1,009 aged < 20 yrs. Reported cases per million (for 5-14 yr olds) were highest Cyprus (111),...
The European Respiratory Society Task Force on primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) in children recently published recommendations for diagnosis and management. This paper compares these with current clinical practice Europe. Questionnaires were returned by 194 paediatric respiratory centres caring PCD patients 26 countries. In most countries, care was not centralised, a median (interquartile range) of 4 (2-9) treated per centre. Overall, 90% had access to nasal or bronchial mucosal biopsy....
Epidemiological data on snoring from preschool children are scarce, although habitual (snoring almost all nights) has been associated with poor long-term outcomes. In a population survey of 6,811 aged 1-4 yrs (from Leicestershire, UK) the present authors determined prevalence, severity and risk factors for snoring, especially snoring. 59.7% children, parents reported in previous 12 months, including 7.9% 0.9% sleep disturbance. Prevalence increased age 6.6% 1-yr-olds to 13.0% 4-yr-olds....
This report describes the incidence of childhood cancer in Switzerland, based on data from Swiss Childhood Cancer Registry (SCCR), a national hospital-based registry with very high coverage, founded 1976 by Paediatric Oncology Group (SPOG).Malignancies were coded according to International Classification (ICCC-3). Incidence rates per 100,000 person-years calculated for all malignancies and groups residents less than 15 years age decade 1995-2004.The SCCR annually registered average 174 new...
Abstract Background Recent research has suggested that an increase in temperature can negatively affect mental health and hospitalization for illness. It is not clear, however, what factors or mechanisms mediate this association. We aimed to (1) investigate the associations between ambient temperatures bad daily mood, (2) identify variables affecting strength of these (modifiers) including time, day week year mood rating, socio-demographic characteristics, sleep quality, psychiatric...
Abstract: Previous research has unveiled an intriguing positive association between the AB blood group and mental disorders in general. In this study, we compared ABO groups with five major of to attain a higher level specificity. The analyses were conducted using data from CoLaus|PsyCoLaus study (N=5111). They revealed that exhibited both neurodevelopmental (RR 2.29, CI 1.38– 3.82) substance use 2.25, 3.65) after adjusting for sex childhood adversities. These associations could be...
The epidemiology of wheeze in children, when assessed by questionnaires, is dependent on parents' understanding the term “wheeze”. In a questionnaire survey random population sample 4,236 children aged 6–10 yrs, definition was assessed. Predictors correct were determined and potential impact incorrect answers prevalence estimates from Current reported 13.2% children. Overall, 83.5% parents correctly identified “whistling or squeaking” as wheeze; proportion higher for reporting wheezy...
Abstract BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to describe educational achievements childhood cancer survivors in Switzerland compared with the general population. In particular, authors investigated problems during childhood, final achievement adulthood, and its predictors. METHODS: Childhood who were aged <16 years at diagnosis from 1976 2003 had survived for ≥5 currently ages 20 40 received a postal questionnaire 2007 2009. Controls respondents Swiss Health Survey years....
Background Although there has been abundant research on chronic low-grade inflammation as a potential mechanism underlying the link between mood disorders and cardiovascular risk, less is known about role of inflammatory factors anxiety disorders. The aim this paper to evaluate bi-directional associations markers including interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) with its subgroups. Methods sample consisted 3,113 participants (53.7%...
Importance Accelerometry has been increasingly used as an objective index of sleep, physical activity, and circadian rhythms in people with mood disorders. However, most prior research focused on sleep or activity alone without consideration the strong within- cross-domain intercorrelations; few studies have distinguished between trait state profiles accelerometry domains major depressive disorder (MDD). Objectives To identify joint individual components derived from accelerometry, including...
Respiratory symptoms are common in infancy. Nevertheless, few prospective birth cohort studies have studied the epidemiology of respiratory normal infants. The aim this study was to prospectively obtain reliable data on incidence, severity, and determinants (including cough wheeze) infants determine factors associated with these symptoms. In a population-based cohort, we assessed during first year life by weekly phone calls mothers. Poisson regression used examine association between various...
Summary Background Epidemiological data for south Asian children in the United Kingdom are contradictory, showing a lower prevalence of wheeze, but higher rate medical consultations and admissions asthma compared with white children. These studies have not distinguished different phenotypes or controlled varying environmental exposures. Objective To compare wheeze related health‐service use pre‐schoolchildren Kingdom, taking into account phenotype (viral multiple wheeze) Methods A postal...
