<h3>Objectives</h3> Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a chronic inflammatory joint disease affecting children. Even if remission successfully induced, about half of the patients experience relapse after stopping anti-inflammatory therapy. The present study investigated whether with JIA at risk can be identified by biomarkers even clinical signs activity are absent. <h3>Methods</h3> Patients fulfilling criteria inactive on medication were included time when all was withdrawn. phagocyte...
Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii is a toxic cyanobacterium that can form blooms potentially harmful to humans and animals. The proliferation of this species difficult predict, its are hard detect as they cause just moderate change in water colour. Global warming might increase the incidence worldwide. This trend was observed also by ARPAE detected growth presence alga Emilia Romagna lakes reservoirs last three years. note describes monitoring activities conducted during these algal risk...
The aim of this study was to determine the ways in which atopic dermatitis (AD) affects lives young Italian children and their families, terms quality life, correlate it with AD severity perception as estimated by family. parents 45 aged 3–84 months affected were asked complete two validated questionnaires after clinical examination. first questionnaire about child's life (Infants’ Dermatitis Quality Life Index); second regarded family's (Dermatitis Family Impact questionnaire). In a further...

Phenotype and proliferative ability of peripheral blood lymphocytes from 15 noninstitutionalized children affected with Down Syndrome (DS), in apparently good health, were studied compared those 16 healthy control the same age. A complex derangement all major cell subsets, i.e., B cells, T natural killer (NK) was present DS children. significant decrease absolute number circulating lymphocytes, a marked lymphocyte percentage, dramatic modifications T-cell subsets observed. The CD4+ cells...
In children with atopic dermatitis (AD), eczema is easily aggravated by contact irritant factors (e.g. aggressive detergents, synthetic and woollen clothes, climatic factors).To evaluate the effectiveness of a special silk fabric (MICROAIR DermaSilk) in treatment young affected AD acute lesions at time examination.Forty-six (mean age 2 years) an phase were recruited: 31 received clothes (group A) which they instructed to wear for week; other 15 served as control group B) wore cotton...
The immune competence of the T lymphocyte system was studied in 28 noninstitutionalized subjects with Down's syndrome (DS) and were compared sex- age-matched healthy controls. ability enriched lymphocytes to respond 3 different cell stimulants revealed a selective impairment subset(s). Subjects DS showed normal responsiveness allogeneic mixed reactions, but their response phytohemagglutinin autologous reactions severely impaired. Non-T cells from stimulated equally well both lymphocytes....
Abstract: The chronic course of atopic dermatitis is a problem for children and their families: it can be extremely disabling, may cause psychologic problems both child family. As affects 10% the pediatric population, pediatricians dermatologists spend much time on treatment this disease, which requires multidisciplinary approach. To improve quality life families affected by we have offered an educational program to parents young disease. consists six meetings at weekly intervals involving...
ABSTRACT. The effect of 4 months oral zinc supplementation on immune functions in non‐institutionalized young female and male Down's syndrome (DS) subjects was studied. Along with plasma levels zinc, the parameters, measured before after treatment, were thymulin, percentage absolute number circulating white blood cells, total lymphocytes, lymphocyte subpopulations, mitogen‐induced proliferation, production interleukin‐2, activity stimulated granulocytes. Some parameters significantly...
Eighteen non‐institutionalized Down's syndrome (DS) children (mean age: 7.0±10/12 years) with a history of respiratory tract, auditory and skin infections, low pi sin.i levels nonapeptide thymic hormone, i.e. Serum Thymic Factor (STF), high plasma inactive zinc‐unbound STF molten les, reduced absolute number circulating T‐lymphocytes, were given an oral non‐pharmacological supplementation zinc sulphate (1 mg Zn ++ /kg body weight/day for 2 months; two cycles, 10 months apart) monitored...
SUMMARY Abnormalities of the proportions peripheral blood lymphocyte subpopulations and immunoglobulin serum levels were found in twenty patients affected by Turner's syndrome. A slight but significantly decreased percentage circulating T B cells, an increased null cells a vitro , responsiveness lymphocytes to phytohaemagglutinin, concanavalin pokeweed mitogen syndrome patients. IgG level was comparison with age‐matched fifty‐seven normal males females IgM intermediate between female male...
Urticaria is the disease that has highest impact on quality of life and requires most visits to emergency room.To investigate clinical presentation acute urticaria in children referred paediatric room our hospital define possible related aetiologies.We included 814 consecutively between January 2006 December 2007 with a diagnosis urticaria, isolated or associated other symptoms.Only 2.0% cases studied were severe pictures. In 437 (53.7%), cause was not determined. The infections respiratory...
Biomass gasification converts a solid fuel into gaseous mixture (syngas or producer gas) which can be burnt in reciprocating internal combustion engines (ICEs) to produce electrical power. A wide variety of bio-residues processed obtain syngas, making biomass very interesting way exploit the energy content industrial by-products and agricultural wastes. This paper focuses on operation spark ignition (SI) ICE burning low-heating value gas produced fixed-bed downdraft gasifier. The power plant...
Surface water can exhibit a range of colours beyond the expected blue or green. These anomalous colourations be triggered by different factors, both natural and anthropogenic, not always are signs pollution. This note explores phenomenon discolouration, focusing on causes analysing how factors such as algal bacterial blooms influence colour. The study provides examples specific events that occurred in Emilia-Romagna region documented ARPAE highlights importance monitoring these colouration...
This study aimed to investigate the association between common faulty postures and their risk factors among 147 house officers at Dow University of Health Sciences. Data were collected using a posture analysis form analyzed with SPSS version 22 over six months. Informed consent was obtained prior postural assessments, which included general physical evaluation plumb line test. Six evaluated: forward head posture, lordosis, kyphosis, scoliosis, uneven shoulder height, back muscle hump. The...
