Anaerobic fitness in children with asthma: Adaptation to maximal intermittent short exercisePediatric Pulmonology - Tập 31 Số 3 - Trang 198-204 - 2001
F. Counil, C. Karila, Alain Varray, Sophie Guillaumont, M. Voisin, C. Préfaut
AbstractNineteen asthmatic boys (aged 13.4 years, 25–75 percentile: 11.5–15.1 years) performed short bouts of maximal exercise (force‐velocity test) to test their anaerobic fitness and tolerance of maximal anaerobic exercise. Fourteen healthy boys (aged 13.9 years, 25–75 percentile: 11.6–15.7 years) matched for anthropometric characteristics including lean body mas...... hiện toàn bộ
No differences in physical activity in (un)diagnosed asthma and healthy controlsPediatric Pulmonology - Tập 42 Số 11 - Trang 1018-1023 - 2007
René van Gent, Cornelis K. van der Ent, Liesbeth E.M. van Essen‐Zandvliet, Maroeska M. Rovers, Jan L. L. Kimpen, Gea de Meer, Peter Klijn
AbstractTo establish whether asthma affects physical activity levels in children (aged 7–10 years) we evaluated physical activity levels in children with undiagnosed asthma (UDA), diagnosed asthma (DA), and healthy controls (HCs). A cross‐sectional community‐based study was performed which included a parental questionnaire on their child's respiratory health, and t...... hiện toàn bộ
Acid and non‐acid reflux during physiotherapy in young children with cystic fibrosisPediatric Pulmonology - Tập 47 Số 2 - Trang 119-124 - 2012
Michael Doumit, Usha Krishnan, Adam Jaffé, Yvonne Belessis
AbstractBackgroundGastro‐esophageal reflux (GOR) may contribute to lung disease in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). There is conflicting evidence regarding the effect of chest physiotherapy (CPT) in the head‐down position on GOR. Furthermore, there is currently no evidence on the impact of physiotherapy on GOR as assessed by pH...... hiện toàn bộ
Comparison of supine and prone noninvasive measurements of breathing patterns in fullterm newbornsPediatric Pulmonology - Tập 18 Số 1 - Trang 8-12 - 1994
José A. Adams, Ignacio Zabaleta, Marvin A. Sackner
AbstractThe current study was undertaken to ascertain whether shift from supine to prone posture alters the pattern of natural breathing in healthy fullterm newborns. Breathing patterns were measured in the supine and prone posture in 20 healthy fullterm infants using calibrated, noninvasive respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP). The values for breathing patt...... hiện toàn bộ
Familial susceptibility to severe respiratory infection in early lifePediatric Pulmonology - Tập 38 Số 4 - Trang 321-328 - 2004
Tessa Goetghebuer, Dominic Kwiatkowski, Anne Thomson, Jeremy Hull
AbstractLower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) are common in the first year of life and are mostly caused by viruses. Severity of LRTI in infants is associated with early‐life environmental factors. Genetic association studies also suggest a role of heredity in susceptibility to acute bronchiolitis. We designed a case control study to further investigate relativ...... hiện toàn bộ
Predictors of mortality in adults with cystic fibrosisPediatric Pulmonology - Tập 42 Số 6 - Trang 525-532 - 2007
Jo‐Maree Courtney, Judy Bradley, John McCaughan, Terence M. O’Connor, C. Shortt, C. P. Bredin, Ian Bradbury, J.S. Elborn
AbstractAssessment of prognostic indicators in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) is important. The study's aim was to assess the relative contribution of gender, genetics and microbiology on survival in adults with CF. Adult patients were studied from 1995 to 2005 and data collected included FEV1 (%predicted), body mass index (BMI), genetics, ...... hiện toàn bộ
Val66Met polymorphism in the BDNF gene in children with bronchial asthmaPediatric Pulmonology - Tập 50 Số 7 - Trang 631-637 - 2015
Miloš Jeseňák, Eva Babušíková, Andrea Evinová, Peter Bánovčin, Dušan Dobrota
SummaryObjectivesBronchial asthma is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by airway inflammation. There is increasing evidence that neurotrophins play an important role in the development and maintenance of neurogenic airway inflammation in chronic allergic diseases.Working Hypothes...... hiện toàn bộ
Screening for symptoms of depression and anxiety in adolescents and young adults with cystic fibrosisPediatric Pulmonology - Tập 46 Số 2 - Trang 153-159 - 2011
Avani C. Modi, Kimberly A. Driscoll, Karen Montag‐Leifling, James D. Acton
AbstractBackgroundAlthough studies have assessed symptoms of depression and anxiety in individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF), few have been conducted since the advent of new medical treatments (e.g., nebulized antibiotics, ThAIRpy Vest). Study objectives were to: (1) document symptoms of depression and anxiety for adolescents and ...... hiện toàn bộ
Depressive symptoms in children with cystic fibrosis and parents and its effects on adherence to airway clearancePediatric Pulmonology - Tập 45 Số 8 - Trang 756-763 - 2010
Beth A. Smith, Avani C. Modi, Alexandra L. Quittner, Beatrice L. Wood
AbstractBackgroundLittle is currently known about the co‐morbidity of depression and cystic fibrosis (CF) and there is currently no empirical research on the effects of depressive symptoms on adherence in children and adolescents with CF. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the extent of depressive symptoms in children a...... hiện toàn bộ
