A longitudinal study was done to evaluate the determinants of bronchial responsiveness (BR) methacholine in children and adolescents. cohort 892 7- 11-yr-old schoolchildren restudied after a 3.5-yr interval. The same protocol for challenge (up 64.0 mg/ml) skin prick testing employed at both baseline survey follow-up. An overall decline level BR observed, geometric mean slope (percent FEV1 per mg/ml methacholine) decreasing from 0.68 (95% CI=0.61 0.75) 0.51 CI=0.46 0.57) (p<0.001). At...
This study aimed to assess the prevalence of asthma and atopy in Italian athletes who were trying for a position on Olympic team 2000 Sydney Games. Overall, 1060 (mean age 24 years, range 15 - 69 729 males) recruited divided into three groups sport activities: 1) anaerobic, 2) aerobic-anaerobic, 3) aerobic. Asthmatic atopic identified by self-administered, standardized questionnaire modified from ISAAC questionnaire. Spirometry was performed reported wheezing or an equal number randomly...
Regional distribution of lung ventilation and diaphragmatic movement were evaluated using a non-invasive scintigraphic method in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. Twenty-four non-smoking aged 20 ± 9 years (mean S.D.), all right convex dorsal curve Cobb's angle 65.1 26.4°), underwent scintigraphy after inhalation 99Tcm-labelled human albumin microspheres. The the inhaled aerosol was assessed scored based on four patterns, ranging from homogeneous (score = 1) to diffuse severe...
BACKGROUND A study was undertaken to investigate the effect of gas cooking on lung function adolescents while considering serum IgE level as a possible modifier. METHOD The cross sectional performed in 702 subjects aged 11–13 years from primary and secondary schools Civitavecchia Viterbo ( Latium region Central Italy), categorised according how often they were kitchen mother cooked (never, sometimes, often). Data collected by questionnaire measured spirometric tests. Bronchial...
Background: COPD is one of the leading causes morbidity and mortality. Pharmacotherapy improves quality life reduces exacerbations although low adherence with prescribed treatments may represent a barrier to optimal disease management. The first objective this paper report distribution patients according GOLD categories, in sample from cohort study an area Latium region Italy. second evaluate agreement between distributions severity obtained HCPs experts included board (Board). Methods: were...
