The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that youths with obesity, when removed from structured school activities and confined their homes during coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, will display unfavorable trends in lifestyle behaviors.The sample included 41 children adolescents obesity participating a longitudinal observational located Verona, Italy. Lifestyle information including diet, activity, sleep behaviors collected at baseline 3 weeks into national lockdown which home...
Cough is a common presenting symptom for patients in primary care setting and significantly impacts patient’s quality of life. involves complex reflex arc beginning with the stimulation sensory nerves that function as cough receptors stimulate center brain. This “cough center” functions to receive these impulses produce by activating efferent nervous pathways diaphragm laryngeal, thoracic, abdominal musculature. Drugs suppress neural activity are non-specific those treatments not directed...
Zinc is an important trace element for growth and health at pediatric ages. fundamental in inflammatory pathways, oxidative balance, immune function. exhibits anti-inflammatory properties by modulating Nuclear Factor-kappa (NF-κB) activity reducing histamine release from basophils, leukocytes, mast cells. Furthermore, its antioxidant protects against damage chronic diseases. Finally, zinc improves the ability to trigger effective responses pathogens contributing maturation of lymphocytes,...
This study is to examine potential micronutrient deficiencies and any need for supplementation in children following specific diet plans the first 1000 days of life. Optimal nutrition life has a lifelong positive impact on child development. Specific intrauterine perinatal factors, pathological conditions, dietary restrictions can represent risk factors life, which have negative systemic consequences. Preterm low-birth-weight infants are intrinsically at because immature body systems....
Nutrition management is fundamental for children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Fluid balance and low-protein low-sodium diets are the more stressed fields from a nutritional point of view. At same time, role micronutrients often underestimated. Starting causes that could lead to potential micronutrient deficiencies in these patients, this review considers all be administered CKD improve prognosis disease.
Treatment of IgE-mediated food allergy involves avoiding the causing allergic reaction. In association, an action plan for reactions is indicated, sometimes including self-injectable adrenaline. addition to these dietary and medical implications, there are two equally important ones: nutritional psychosocial. From a point view, it known that children suffering from have growth delay in height weight compared their non-allergic peers. Specifically, this condition directly related specific...
ABSTRACT Down syndrome (DS) is associated with a high prevalence of congenital heart, gastrointestinal, and endocrine anomalies, as well heightened risk for kidney urinary tract abnormalities. The renal anomalies occur in up to 3.2% DS cases at birth—four five times higher than the general population. Despite this, current management guidelines lack routine evaluations, even though factors like neonatal acute injury, hypoplasia obesity may predispose children chronic disease (CKD). In...
A previous report from our group identified directionally unfavorable dietary and lifestyle behavior trends in longitudinally monitored children adolescents with obesity early the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. The current study aimed at extending these observations youths on behavioral consequences of extended lockdown Verona, Italy.
Abstract Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is characterized by the narrowing of airways during or after physical activity, leading to symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and shortness breath. Distinguishing between EIB exercise-induced asthma (EIA) essential, given their divergent therapeutic prognostic considerations. has been increasingly recognized a significant concern in pediatric athletes. Moreover, studies indicate noteworthy prevalence children with atopic predispositions,...
Furthermore, the nasal congestion typical of rhinitis can contribute to upper airway obstruction and sleep-disordered breathing. A vicious circle is created between asthma breathing: uncontrolled breathing worsen each other. In children with genetic obesity, despite alterations in immune system, fewer allergies are found compared general population. The causes this reduced allergenicity unclear but probably involve genetic, immunological, environmental factors. Further studies needed...
Overweight or obese children develop abnormal endothelial cell dysfunction and arterial intima-media thickening with increased vasomotor tone inflammation. Curcumin, resveratrol, zinc, magnesium, selenium, vitamin D have shown beneficial effects on function. We test, among overweight pediatric subjects, the endothelium of a combination curcumin, D.Forty-eight subjects (6-17 years) were randomized into two groups (placebo vs treatment) attended three visits at 0, 3, 6 months (±15 days)....
Children affected by Down syndrome (DS) have a higher prevalence of obesity, dyslipidemia, and altered liver enzymes. This study investigates small sample pediatric patients with DS possible associations among their anthropometric laboratory data.Cross-sectional involving 33 children (5-17 years old) DS. underwent the measurement parameters through bioelectrical impedance analysis venous sampling to check hepatic lipid profiles.54.6% subjects were overweight or obese according WHO (BMI...
