Beyond lumping and splitting
Unlike synchronic linguists, who can ask their consultants for additional data and examples, historical linguists are, for the most part, stuck with the data we have. Only rarely are we able to add to the corpus of available texts, or find additional examples of a rare combination of phonemes. The problems of historical linguistics are thus inherently probabilistic: we must constantly decide wh...

Fifty four patients aged from 1 to 6 years who had had recurrent attacks of wheezy bronchitis were prospectively followed up for three months to find out if there was an association between different viral respiratory infections and episodes of wheezing. Of the 115 episodes of upper or lower respiratory tract symptoms, virus or Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection were diagnosed in 52 (45%). Thirty ...
متن کاملAirway responsiveness following wheezy bronchitis in infants.
The study was undertaken to assess the airway function and its response to carbachol and salbutamol in infants recovering from wheezy bronchitis. In 82 children aged 3-33 mths, free from wheeze at the time of testing, and in 14 healthy infants, airway resistance (Raw) and thoracic gas volume (TGV) were measured using a body plethysmograph. Specific airway resistance (sRaw = Raw x TGV) was calcu...
متن کاملRespiratory viral infection and wheezy bronchitis in childhood.
The role of respiratory viral infection in wheezy bronchitis was studied in 163 children, aged 0-12 years, in a London general practice. Virological investigations were also performed when these same children had acute upper respiratory illness without wheeze. A virus was isolated in 146 (26.4%) of 554 episodes of wheezy bronchitis, rhinoviruses accounting for almost half of the isolations. The...
متن کاملRole of viruses and bacteria in acute wheezy bronchitis in childhood: a study of sputum.
Sputum, nasal swabs, and throat swabs were obtained from 22 children aged between 5 and 15 years during 72 attacks of wheezy bronchitis. A virus, most commonly a rhinovirus, was isolated in 49% of all episodes and in 64% of 22 severe episodes requiring treatment with corticosteroids; the isolation rate was higher early in the illness than later. Virus was recovered more often from sputum than f...
