Pollen allergy poses a significant health and economic burden in Europe. Disease patterns are relatively homogeneous within Central Northern European countries. However, no study broadly assessed the features of seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) across different Southern countries with standardized approach.
Introduction Wheezing is common in preschool children and its clinical assessment often challenging for caretakers. This study aims to evaluate the impact of a novel digital wheeze detector (WheezeScan™) on disease control home care setting. Methods A multicentre randomised open-label controlled trial was conducted Berlin, Istanbul London. Participants aged 4–84 months with doctor's diagnosis recurrent wheezing past 12 were included. While group followed usual care, intervention received...
The northern white rhinoceros (NWR; Ceratotherium simum cottoni ) is functionally extinct, with only two nonreproductive females alive. Efforts to rescue the NWR from its inevitable demise have inspired exploration of unconventional conservation methods, including development induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) for in vitro generation artificial gametes. integrity iPSC genomes critical gametogenesis be used assisted reproductive technologies using iPSCs. We generated a chromosome-level...
SUMMARY The aims were to assess the prevalence of HIV infection among young adult heroin users, including injecting users (IHUs) and non-injecting (NIHUs), explore differences by gender other factors. design was a cross-sectional cohort study between April 2001 December 2003, which included 961 current (HU), aged 18–30 years: 422 in Madrid, 351 Barcelona 188 Seville; 621 IHUs 340 NIHUs. All street-recruited chain referral methods. Face-to-face interviews conducted using structured...
<h3>Background</h3> Rheumatic diseases are the leading cause of permanent disability. In our country fourth consultation in health institutions. The COPCORD model constitutes an effective tool determination prevalence diseases. Globally, this has been carried out Asia, Europe and some countries Latin America. Colombia epidemiology rheumatic is not known globally; would be first national study that uses data collection questionnaire using instrument <h3>Objectives</h3> To estimate disease...
Ebstein anomaly (EA) is a rare congenital heart defect (CHD) with poorly characterized genetic etiology. However, some EA patients carry deletions in 1p36, all of which have been reported to distal and share loss the PRDM16 gene, currently considered most likely candidate for development this region. Here, we report patient an 11.96-Mb proximal 1p36 deletion, without PRDM16, who presented deletion phenotype. This finding suggests that not required additional locus also associated EA. Our...
Abstract: The ELN gene encodes elastin, a fundamental protein of the extracellular matrix that confers elasticity to different tissues including blood vessels. formation elastin fibers is complex process involving monomer coacervation and subsequent crosslinking. Mutations in exons 1– 29 have been linked supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) whereas mutations 30– 33 are associated with autosomal dominant cutis laxa (ADCL). This striking segregation has led hypothesis distinct molecular...
Abstract Introduction Wheezing is an important indicator of exacerbated respiratory symptoms in early childhood and must be monitored to regulate pharmacological therapy. However, parents’ subjective perception wheezing their children not always precise. We investigated the objective identification children's by parents using a digital wheeze detector (WheezeScan TM , OMRON Healthcare Co. Ltd), its longitudinal usage patterns, relationship with SABA administration. Methods conducted...
<h3>Background</h3> Patients with systemic autoimmune conditions often develop concomitant disease contributing to a higher mortality than in the general population. An early diagnosis and treatment is fundamental improve life expectancy of this <h3>Objectives</h3> The objective study was describe frequency comorbidities patients rheumatic diseases. <h3>Methods</h3> Based on data from population studied under COPCORD strategy, prevalence Colombia, non-rheumatic diseases described 6 cities...
<h3>Background</h3> Within public health strategies, the quality of life is a fundamental factor intervention. The EQ-5D-3L one most used instruments worldwide. <h3>Objectives</h3> To describe change in and functional limitation patients with rheumatic diseases compared to healthy population other systemic diseases. <h3>Methods</h3> survey was 6693 people from 6 cities Colombia. An analytical study developed. <h3>Results</h3> In general, (n=1104) reported not have problems according (median:...
