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 mass (LBM), pubertal stage,
and week... hiện toàn bộ
No differences in physical activity in (un)diagnosed asthma and healthy controlsPediatric Pulmonology - Tập 42 Số 11 - Trang 1018-1023 - 2007

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 testing of airway
reversibility an... 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‐multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH‐MII).Aims(1) To

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 pattern components in supine and
pron... 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 relative importance of
familial influenc... 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, and microbiology. Data was available on 183
patients i... 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 HypothesisBrain‐derived
neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a member of the neurotrophin family and has
several important fu... 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 young adults with CF and compare with normative values, (2)
examine ... hiện toàn bộ
Relations between depressive and anxious symptoms and quality of life in caregivers of children with cystic fibrosisPediatric Pulmonology - Tập 44 Số 8 - Trang 784-792 - 2009
Kimberly A. Driscoll, Karen Montag‐Leifling, James D. Acton, Avani C. Modi
AbstractSummaryLittle is known about depressive and anxious symptoms and quality
of life (QOL) in caregivers of children with cystic fibrosis (CF). The aims of
this study were to: (1) assess rates of female and male caregiver depressive and
anxious symptoms, and (2) evaluate relations between depressive and anxious
symptoms, caregiver QOL, and health outcomes.Patients and MethodsEligible
