BackgroundAsthma is the most common chronic disease in children globally. The Global Asthma Network (GAN) Phase I study aimed to determine if worldwide burden of asthma symptoms changing.MethodsThis updated cross-sectional used same methods as International and Allergies Childhood (ISAAC) III. were assessed from centres that completed GAN ISAAC (1993–95), III (2001–03), or both. We included individuals two age groups (children aged 6–7 years adolescents 13–14 years) who self-completed...
Tracheomalacia and tracheobronchomalacia may be primary abnormalities of the large airways or associated with a wide variety congenital acquired conditions. The evidence on diagnosis, classification management is scant. There no universally accepted severity. Clinical presentation includes early-onset stridor fixed wheeze, recurrent infections, brassy cough even near-death attacks, depending site severity lesion. Diagnosis usually made by flexible bronchoscopy in free-breathing child but...
BackgroundAsthma is one of the most common non-communicable diseases globally. This study aimed to assess asthma medicine use, management plan availability, and disease control in childhood, adolescence, adulthood across different country settings.MethodsWe used data from Global Asthma Network Phase I cross-sectional epidemiological (2015–20). A validated, written questionnaire was distributed via schools three age groups (children, 6–7 years; adolescents, 13–14 adults, ≥19 years). Eligible...
Abstract Aim: To determine maturational tempo differences related to the timing of pubertal onset in girls. Methods: We studied longitudinally 307 prepubertal Greek schoolgirls. Age at puberty (B2), peak height velocity (PHV) and age menarche were recorded. quartiles determined order define girls as early maturers (<9.2 years) late (>10.6 years). Due dropout from study, results for are reported 182 Results: Median (1st–3rd quartile) time span B2 PHV was longer than average maturers,...
Abstract Aim: To examine the secular trend of menarcheal age in Greek girls during last decade. Methods: Seven hundred and fifty senior high schoolgirls were asked through a questionnaire to report their date menarche, participation physical activities weight status at menarche. The data compared with those study 1996. Results: Mean menarche (±SD) 2006 was 12.29 (1.19) 1996 it 12.27 (1.13) years, p = 0.73. Maternal 13.02 (1.32). There significant correlation between mothers, < 0.0001....
Selenium (Se) as essential element regulates the immune, endocrine, reproductive and neurological systems through selenoproteins. More important than its content, is fraction available to be absorbed (bioaccesibility) exert metabolic functions. The objective of this study was determine bioaccessibility Se (Se-BA) in multiple foods by an vitro digestion/fermentation method. Samples were subjected homemade culinary techniques fermented with feces from healthy adults (HE-AD), (HE-CH) unhealthy...
