Since the publication of European Respiratory Society (ERS) task force reports on management preschool wheezing in 2008 and 2014, a large body evidence has accumulated suggesting that clinical phenotypes were proposed (episodic (viral) multiple-trigger wheezing) do not relate to underlying airway pathology may help determine response treatment. Specifically, using alone no longer be appropriate, new approaches can used inform care are needed for future research. This ERS reviewed literature...
We described a cohort of 100 children with wide variety airway obstruction who underwent stent positioning in the last 7 years. The study examined outcomes this treatment largest series paediatric patients reported literature special concern over safety and clinical effectiveness. performed retrospective analysis consecutive insertions between January 2005 May 2012. Statistical was exact likelihood used. A total 235 stents were placed for severe obstruction. One hundred twelve silicone...
Airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) is a critical feature of wheezing and asthma in children, but the initiating immune mechanisms remain unconfirmed. We demonstrate that both recombinant interleukin-33 (rIL-33) allergen [house dust mite (HDM) or Alternaria alternata] exposure from day 3 life resulted significantly increased pulmonary IL-13+CD4+ T cells, which were indispensable for development AHR. In contrast, adult mice had predominance LinnegCD45+CD90+IL-13+ type 2 innate lymphoid cells...
This observational prospective longitudinal multicenter study examines the occurrence and characteristics of long COVID (LC) in Italian pediatric population.
