Recent studies have indicated that atopic sensitisation is uncommon while respiratory symptoms are common among schoolchildren in Eastern Europe. Risk factors for and were evaluated a cross sectional study involving 2594 (10-12 years) from Sweden (n = 665), Poland 410), Estonia 1519). The measurements included parental questionnaires skin prick tests with eight standardised allergens. Multiple logistic analyses demonstrated heredity was significant independent risk factor all the countries....
Background: In patients with symptoms suggestive of cystic fibrosis (CF) and intermediate sweat chloride values (30–60 mmol/l), extensive CFTR gene mutation analysis nasal potential difference (NPD) measurement are used as additional diagnostic tests a positive result in either test provides evidence dysfunction. To define the phenotype such confirm validity grouping them, whom CF was abnormal were compared subjects this not case classic CF. Methods: The phenotypic features four groups...
We study the impact of ambient fluid on evolution collapsing false vacuum bubbles by simulating dynamics a coupled bubble-particle system. A significant increase in mass particles across bubble wall leads to buildup those inside bubble. show that backreaction slows or even reverses collapse. Consequently, if true become heavier than vacuum, particle-wall interactions always decrease compactness can reach, making their collapse black holes less likely.
A bstract We study the evolution of growing vacuum bubbles. The bubble walls interact with surrounding fluid and may, consequently, reach a terminal velocity. If mean free path particles in is much shorter than wall thickness, locally thermal equilibrium wall’s velocity can be determined by entropy conservation. On other hand, if local inside cannot maintained, estimated from pressure impacted ballistic particle dynamics at wall. find that latter case leads to slightly slower walls....
Background Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a low prevalence of allergic diseases and atopic sensitization among schoolchildren young adults in the formerly socialist countries Central Eastern Europe as compared to Western Europe. Objective The aim our study was prospectively investigate IgE responses food inhalant allergens development allergy during early childhood population with disorders. Methods In population‐based prospective , 273 children were followed from birth through...
Atopic diseases and atopic sensitization were studied from birth up to 2 y in a population‐based prospective study. Physical examinations done at 6, 12 24 mo, including skin‐prick tests blood samples, for the determination of serum IgE level circulating antibodies food inhalant allergens. In addition, questionnaire surveys about clinical symptoms allergy, infections home environment. At prevalences definite probable 17% 13%, respectively. The cumulative incidence allergy was 25%. dermatitis...
The prevalence of allergic disease is low in Eastern Europe for reasons that are poorly understood. Our study aimed to investigate the levels exposure indoor allergens and living conditions among Estonian infants relation sensitization. Dust samples were collected during four winter months 1993/94 from homes 197 participating a prospective Information about was through home visit interviewing mothers when children 6 weeks old. Three dust each home: i.e., infant's mattress, bedroom floor,...
In a prospective study, 251 infants were followed from birth up to 12 months of age, recording manifestations allergy by questionnaires at 3, 6, 9 and clinical examinations 6 and/or months. Blood samples obtained analysed for serum IgE levels. The children skin-prick tested with foods age inhalant allergens SPT-positive individuals controls the presence antibodies common their cord sera cow's milk egg. Twelve (7%) sensitized against [3 (CM) egg white (EW)] 11 (5%) (2 CM EW) Seventeen had...
There is a lack of established criteria to identify asthma and bronchial hyerreactivity (BHR) in epidemiological studies, although both conditions appear bear some relationship atopy, at least children. Recent studies indicate low prevalence atopy former Socialist countries Europe, yet the BHR has been reported be high. We have analysed between outcome various lung function tests, clinical symptoms an survey Estonian 10‐12 year old schoolchildren. Metacholine provocation test (four steps...
