Clinical Management and Outcomes of Neonatal Rhinitis Nasal Obstruction: A Scoping Review

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Neonatal rhinitis represents an underdiagnosed yet potentially serious condition in newborns. Standardized diagnostic and treatment protocols remain lacking. The objective is to review the current literature on the etiology, diagnosis, and management of neonatal rhinitis in infants ≤8 months of age.

Biomarkers of Pre‐COPD Lung Function Trajectories in Middle Age: A Prospective Study From 1st to 6th Decade

Respirology, EarlyView.
Identifying impaired lifetime lung function trajectories is key to identifying the preclinical phase of COPD (Pre‐COPD) or prognosis of COPD. We have identified that some circulating established COPD biomarkers differ across ‘pre‐COPD’ lung function trajectories, suggesting that some COPD‐specific pathobiological processes, including inflammation, are ...

Alteration of Immune Responses by N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V during Allergic Airway Inflammation

Allergology International, 2011
Background: p-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (Mgat5 or GlcNac-TV), which is involved in the glyco- sylation of proteins, is known to be important for down-regulation of TCR-mediated T-cell activation and negatively regulates induction of contact ...

Do sex and atopy influence cough outcome measurements in children?

, 2011
Background: Despite the commonality of cough and its burden, there are no published data on the relationship between atopy or sex on objectively measured cough frequency or subjective cough scores in children.

Sargassum Lung Syndrome: Air Flow Obstruction and Bronchial Inflammation Are Observed After Prolonged Exposure to Sargassum Gas Emissions in the Eastern Caribbean

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sargassum inundation of Caribbean and American shorelines is a growing environmental hazard. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) produced by decomposing Sargassum could be involved in airway obstruction and bronchial inflammation. The study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of exposure to H2S and NH3 gases emitted during Sargassum ...

High body mass index is not associated with atopy in schoolchildren living in rural and urban areas of Ghana

BMC Public Health, 2011
Background Factors which determine the development of atopy and the observed rural-urban gradient in its prevalence are not fully understood. High body mass index (BMI) has been associated with asthma and potentially atopy in industrialized countries. In

Decreased Production of Tissue Plasminogen Activator in Endothelial Cells From Nasal Polyps

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Previous studies have demonstrated that chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is characterized by excessive fibrin deposition which is related to impaired production of tissue plasminogen activator(t‐PA) by epithelial cells.

Distinct Nasal Microbiome Profiles and Prediction Model for Allergic Rhinitis, Nonallergic Rhinitis, and Healthy Children

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
The alpha and beta diversity of the nasal microbiome differed among children with allergic rhinitis (AR), nonallergic rhinitis (NAR), and healthy controls (HCs). Compared to HC, AR had more Escherichia‐Shigella, Negativicoccus, and Campylobacter, while NAR had more Dolosigranulum and fewer Enterobacteriaceae.

The Usefulness of Machine Learning Models to Predict Patient‐Reported Outcome Measures in Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objective The treatment available for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) has remained unsatisfactory. Patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs), capturing patient‐perceived health status and well‐being, are vehicles for measuring and improving the efficacy of care.

Properdin in childhood and its association with wheezing and atopy [PDF]

, 2010
Properdin, a serum glycoprotein, is an important component of innate immunity, the only known positive regulator of complement, acting as an initiation point for alternative pathway activation.
