3. The influence of asthma onset and severity on malocclusion prevalence in children and adolescents
OBJECTIVE: The influence of asthma, its severity levels and onset time on malocclusion occurrence were investigated. METHODS: The sample was composed by 176 children/adolescents, of both genders, aged 3 to 15 years, that were divided in two groups. The asthma group (AG) enrolled 88 children/adolescents that were seen at the Breathe Londrina Program. The asth

4. Perfil celular do lavado broncoalveolar em crianças e adolescentes com asma de difícil controle / Bronchoalveolar lavage cell profile in children and adolescents with severe asthma
Therapy resistant asthma is a major clinical problem in childhood. We investigated the inflammatory cell profile in the airways of children with severe asthma despite systemic steroid treatment and the relationship with clinical and functional severity. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed in 24 children with severe asthma (13M/11F; mean age 12.5 yrs,

5. Asthma and pregnancy: a prospective study of 198 pregnancies.
A study was designed to investigate whether asthma, when carefully managed, is associated with an increased risk of complications in connection with pregnancy. One hundred and eighty one asthmatic women were monitored during 198 pregnancies. Antiasthmatic treatment consisted of inhaled beta 2 adrenergic drugs, beclomethasone, sodium cromoglycate, oral theoph

6. Assisted ventilation in severe acute asthma.
During the period 1973-85 assisted ventilation was used for the treatment of severe asthma on 48 occasions in 18 patients (one patient was ventilated 29 times). On each occasion arterial blood gas abnormalities were restored to normal as quickly as possible irrespective of peak inflation pressures. One patient was thought to be brain dead on transfer from an

7. Controlled investigation of deaths from asthma in hospitals in the North East Thames region.
One hundred and thirty deaths definitely or potentially due to asthma occurring in hospitals in the North East Thames region over one year were identified from death certificates and Hospital Activity Analysis records. Thirty five of these deaths were considered after independent assessment to have been directly due to asthma. Control patients who left hospi

8. Incidence of serious complications of corticosteroid therapy in respiratory disease: A retrospective survey of patients in the Brompton Hospital
A retrospectively controlled study is described of mortality and serious morbidity in 550 patients treated with corticosteroids and 499 controls. The overall incidence of side-effects was similar in both groups, but gastro-intestinal bleeding, diabetes, and mental disturbance early in treatment occurred more frequently in the corticosteroid group. Other indi

9. Acute severe asthma treated by mechanical ventilation: 10 years' experience from a district general hospital.
A retrospective study was made of patients requiring mechanical ventilation (intermittent positive pressure ventilation--IPPV) for acute severe asthma in a district general hospital during 1974-83. Thirty two patients required IPPV on 34 occasions. Complications included pneumothorax in six (18%) patients, chest infection in 12 (35%) patients, pulmonary coll

10. Helium oxygen mixtures in the intensive care unit
Heliox, a mixture of helium and oxygen, has a density that is less than that of air. Breathing heliox leads to a reduction in resistance to flow within the airways, and consequently to a decrease in the work of breathing (WOB), particularly in disorders that are characterized by increased airways resistance. Beneficial effects have been observed in patients

11. Respiratory day hospital: a novel approach to acute respiratory care
IN 1996 WE ESTABLISHED A DAY HOSPITAL DEDICATED to acute respiratory care, as an alternative to emergency department and inpatient treatment. The unit is staffed by respirologists, family physicians and specialized nurses; patients have access to all standard inpatient treatments and services. Between 1996/97 and 1998/99 the annual number of admissions to th

12. Dermatology for the practicing allergist: Tinea pedis and its complications
Tinea pedis is a chronic fungal infection of the feet, very often observed in patients who are immuno-suppressed or have diabetes mellitus. The practicing allergist may be called upon to treat this disease for various reasons. Sometimes tinea infection may be mistaken for atopic dermatitis or allergic eczema. In other patients, tinea pedis may complicate all
