Rhinovirus bronchiolitis and recurrent wheezing: 1-year follow-up

Rhinovirus bronchiolitis and recurrent wheezing: 1-year follow-up.

The association between bronchiolitis and recurrent wheezing remains controversial. In this prospective study, we assessed risk factors for recurrent wheezing during a 12-month follow-up in 313 infants aged <12 months hospitalised for their first episode of bronchiolitis. Demographic, clinical and laboratory data were obtained with a questionnaire and from medical files. A total of 14 respirato...

Recurrent Human Rhinovirus Infections in Infants with Refractory Wheezing

To the Editor: In 1988, the Global Polio Eradication Initiative was formed, with the aim of reducing infection with poliomyelitis virus. Two decades later in 2008, a total of 1,625 children contracted acute flaccid paralysis caused by poliovirus infection (1). This finding represented a 150% increase over the number of cases in 2007 (1) and resulted in the reemergence of polio as one of the wor...

[Hospitalization for bronchiolitis: a risk factor for recurrent wheezing].

This longitudinal study evaluated the role of hospitalization for acute bronchiolitis as a risk factor for recurrent wheezing. Participants were children from a 1993 cohort in a southern Brazilian city. Hierarchical multivariate analysis showed that previous hospitalization for bronchiolitis was the most important risk factor for recurrent wheezing, with an odds ratio of 4.9. This strong associ...

A 1-Year Follow-up Study

USE OF THE KEYBOARD AND THE mouse as key interface devices to the computer has led to much debate concerning their role in development of injuries to the nerves in the upper limbs, particularly carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The proposed mechanism for this relationship is regional compression or nerve stretching, which has been confirmed in animal models, but no models exist concerning the effec...
