BACKGROUND Data on the long-term impact of hydrolyzed formulas on allergies are scarce. OBJECTIVE To assess the association between early intervention with hydrolyzed formulas in high-risk children and allergic outcomes in adolescence. METHODS GINI trial participants (n = 2252) received one of four formulas in the first four months of life as breastmilk substitute if necessary: partial or e...
Several clinical studies suggest the involvement of premature ageing processes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Using an epidemiological approach, we studied whether accelerated ageing indicated by telomere length, a marker of biological age, is associated with COPD and asthma, and whether intrinsic age-related processes contribute to the interindividual variability of lung func...
OBJECTIVES One of the common causes of morbidity in patients with RA is pulmonary involvement. Some studies have shown that the possible abnormal results of pulmonary function tests in rheumatoid disease are higher than usual. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of spirometric abnormalities in patients with RA. MATERIALS & METHODS This case-control study was conducted on 99 patients with RA w...
Effect of digoxin on global respiratory muscle strength after cholecystectomy: a double blind study.
BACKGROUND Upper abdominal surgery has been shown to impair the function of the respiratory muscles. In addition, controversial results have been reported concerning the effect of digoxin on the diaphragm. The aim of this study was to investigate further the mechanism(s) of respiratory muscle dysfunction after cholecystectomy and the effect of digoxin on the impaired respiratory muscle function...
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the validity of office spirometry in primary care pediatric practices. METHODS Ten primary care pediatricians undertook a spirometry training program that was led by 2 pediatric pulmonologists from the Pediatric Department of the University of Padova. After the pediatricians' training, children with asthma or persistent cough underwent a spir...
Due to their relatively homogeneous lifestyle and living environment, the Amish offer a novel opportunity to study the health associations of tobacco smoke exposure, particularly secondhand smoke. We hypothesized that secondhand smoke exposure is associated with worse pulmonary and cardiometabolic health. We examined cross-sectional data on 3568 Amish study participants, including tobacco use a...
OBJECTIVE To investigate the pattern of sensitisation to aero-allergens and food allergens among asthmatic children in Hong Kong, and to investigate any correlation between atopy and the severity of asthma. DESIGN Consecutive case series. SETTING Paediatric out-patient clinic of a university teaching hospital, Hong Kong. PARTICIPANTS Two hundred and four consecutive children with physicia...
This position statement reviews several aspects of spirometric testing in the workplace, where spirometry is employed in the primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention of occupational lung disease. Primary prevention includes pre-placement and fitness-for-duty examinations as well as research and monitoring of health status in groups of exposed workers; secondary prevention includes periodic m...
Background Severe therapy resistant asthma is a relatively rare entity. This has been variously defined based on clinical and spirometric criteria. It has always been known that the correlation between clinical and physiological parameters is not very consistent and hence the difficulty in defining this entity. We have looked at our cohort of consecutive patients with severe and moderate asthma...
Monitoring of the cardiac status of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) and comparing them with their respiratory indices thought to be predictive markers of the general health of these patients and be indicative, even prognostic, of any impending deterioration. This study was destined to evaluate various aspect of serum prognostic factors in COPD patients. This study was conducted ove...
