Showing results for "vitamin d asthma"

Lipopolysaccharide-induced interferon response networks at birth are predictive of severe viral lower respiratory infections in the first year of life

Appropriate innate immune function is essential to limit pathogenesis and severity of severe lower respiratory infections (sLRI) during infancy, a leading cause of hospitalization and risk factor for subsequent asthma in this age group.

Nutrition

The science that interprets the way nutrients and other substances in food affect maintenance, growth, reproduction, health and disease.

Distinguishing benign from pathologic TH2 immunity in atopic children

In addition to its role in blocking TH2 effector activation in the late-phase allergic response, IL-10 is a known IgG1 switch factor

Role of antenatal maternal diet

Nutrition is a modifiable lifestyle factor that may play a role in allergic disease prevention. This article summarizes current evidence on the antenatal diet as a consideration for strategies to prevent child food allergy. As eczema in early infancy substantially increases the risk of food allergy development, the effects of maternal dietary intakes during pregnancy on infant eczema outcomes will also be discussed.

Maternal dietary intake in pregnancy and lactation and allergic disease outcomes in offspring

As the prevalence of allergic disease dramatically rises worldwide, prevention strategies are increasingly being considered.

How the first nine months shape the rest of our lives

The field of the developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) focuses on prenatal influences as a crucial point in development.

Clinical guidelines for management of bone health in Rett syndrome based on expert consensus and available evidence

In order to help doctors and families reduce the risk of fractures, we developed clinical guidelines for managing bone health in Rett syndrome.

Elemental carbon exposure and lung function in schoolchildren from Mexico City

Though exposure to air pollution has a detrimental effect on respiratory health, few studies have examined the association between elemental carbon exposure...

Providing feedback on adherence increases use of preventive medication by asthmatic children

This study investigates the impact of measuring adherence and providing feedback on medication usage by children with unstable asthma.

Feasibility of the pre-operative measurement of fractional exhaled nitric oxide and respiratory mechanics to predict respiratory outcomes in children undergoing general anaesthesia

Peri-operative respiratory adverse events remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality in children undergoing general anaesthesia; those with asthma are at higher risk. The aim of this feasibility study was to determine whether pre-operative measurements of fractional exhaled nitric oxide and the forced oscillation technique are feasible in children, and to explore whether these measurements can predict peri-operative respiratory adverse events.
