Respiratory distress is a common symptom in the newborn. Surfactant deficiency in the preterm infant and meconium aspiration and transient tachypnea in the term newborn are among the most common causes of respiratory distress, but primary airway abnormalities can also present with respiratory distress in the newborn. Delay in diagnosis of airway abnormality can be life threatening. Radiologists...

Traditional surveillance for respiratory viruses relies on symptom detection and laboratory detection during medically attended encounters for acute respiratory infection/influenza-like illness (ARI/ILI). Ecological momentary reporting using text messages is a novel method for surveillance. This study compares respiratory viral activity detected through longitudinal community-based surveillance...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Respiratory symptoms are often associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Although the role of multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring in GERD is clear, little is known regarding the characteristics of patients with respiratory symptoms based on MII-pH monitoring and anti-reflux therapy. We evaluated a cohort of GERD patients to identify the MII-p...

The current study explored the effects of talking on respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) during a semi-structured emotional interview (Adult Attachment Interview) using 76 female undergraduates. The effectiveness of 2 different methodological approaches (i.e. talking baseline or transfer function) was explored as respiratory control during talking tasks. RSA was collected during resting baseline...

STUDY OBJECTIVES To evaluate the pulmonary manifestations and the course of acute respiratory insufficiency associated with lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI). DESIGN Retrospective review of clinical data and chest radiographs (total 225) obtained during the lifetime follow-up of 31 LPI patients. About half of the 25 patients without respiratory symptoms underwent high-resolution computed to...

BACKGROUND Most patients who consult with acute lower respiratory symptoms receive antibiotics, usually without evidence of significant infection. The physical signs at presentation of acute lower respiratory tract illness and the rate at which symptoms resolve and normal activities recover is not well documented. AIM To examine in patients with lower respiratory tract infection (LRTi), their...

BACKGROUND Clinical features of pandemic H1N1 have been derived from lab-confirmed, hospitalized, or critically ill subjects. This report describes the clinical features of H1N1 and their prevalence from non-confirmed subjects according to seroprevalence status in México. The objective was to determine the prevalence of these clinical features from non-confirmed cases of pandemic H1N1 and to c...

Respiratory dysfunction is a main clinical symptom of COVID-19. Liver also frequently reported in patients with COVID-19 and considered to be related poor prognosis. However, the precise mechanisms behind these findings remain unclear. We investigated features prognostic factors liver 26 patients. The had markedly higher WBC, neutrophils, CRP, frequency oxygen administration lower PaO2/FIO2 rat...
