Background: Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) pose global health challenges, with major outbreaks affecting healthcare systems and resulting in significant morbidity mortality. We aimed to identify distinctive signs or symptoms correlated ARIs for utilizing syndromic surveillance. Methods: used data from national Korean databases examine correlations between various the reported ARI viruses children aged under over 5 years. Results: In years old, were strongly human adenovirus, syncytial virus, rhinovirus. Patients displayed more diverse patterns, varied correlations. The cases of fever a strong indicator (human parainfluenza viruses, rhinovirus) while those showed such as smell taste disturbances. Conclusions: These findings emphasize correlation across different age groups may help improve surveillance systems.

At present, medications containing inhaled corticosteroids (ICS-containing) are the keystones of asthma treatment. The majority asthmatic children can significantly improve clinical outcomes with little worsening by standardized glucocorticoid treatment, but there is still a small proportion who unable to achieve good symptom control even after maximum known as 'children difficult-to-treat (DA)'. high heterogeneity DA makes therapy challenging and expensive, which poses serious risk children's health it extremely difficult for physicians accurately identify treat DA.

Background: Most epidemiological studies indicate that bronchial asthma is not a risk factor for COVID-19, but previous analyses have additionally focused on the socioeconomic determinants of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children with asthma, bronchitis, and respiratory symptoms. Aims: This research aimed to investigate correlation between status families prevalence conditions such as symptoms children, addition exploring their association COVID-19. The study involved cross-sectional investigation conducted 2022, encompassing 2454 students from elementary schools Poland. parents completed questionnaire modeled after International Study Asthma Allergies Childhood (ISAAC). Socioeconomic (SES) indicators were determined based parental education, self-reported economic status, housing conditions. To assess impact social factors health occurrence odds ratios (ORs) calculated. findings revealed several COVID-19 factors, including higher maternal (OR 2.2; 95%CI: 1.3–3.0) paternal education 1.9; 1.3–2.4), urban residence 1.7; 1.3–2.1), presence mold residences 1.0–2.3), bronchitis 1.5; 1.2–2.0), chronic cough 1.8; 1.3–2.4). Further analysis, stratifying baseline (i.e., or absence cough), indicated increased solely without pre-existing infections was found be notably associated exposure who did asthma.

Environmental Pollution, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 343, С. 123191 - 123191

Опубликована: Дек. 20, 2023

The association between residential land cover (RLC) and wheezing remains poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the RLC in childhood adolescence. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among children adolescents five provinces of China. Land data were obtained from Cross-Resolution Land-Cover mapping framework based on noisy label learning, classifying into categories: cropland, forest, grass/shrubland, wetland, impervious. Generalized linear mixed models employed estimate odds ratios (ORs) 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for risk wheezing. Mediation analysis whether ambient particulate matter (PM2.5) acts as a mediator total 12,875 participants included study, comprising 318 patients 12,557 controls. Cropland500m significantly associated with decreased (OR: 0.929, CI: 0.879–0.982), while impervious surfaces500m increased 1.056, 1.019–1.096) all participants. In stratified analysis, significant differences found main outcomes adolescence group (age ≥10 years) <10 (P interaction < 0.05), no observed southern northern regions, or male female respondents. revealed that PM2.5 partially mediated cropland500m plays role during adolescence, cropland offering protection surfaces posing heightened risk.
