Asthma severity at night during recovery from an acute asthmatic attack.
This study was undertaken to investigate the severity of night time asthma in children in hospital recovering from an acute attack of asthma. Twenty two children aged 5-14 years were studied. Coughing 'epochs' overnight varied from one to 156 (median 39.5) and mean overnight arterial oxygen saturation (Sao2) from 82 to 98% (mean 91.3). Log values for cough showed a correlation with Sao2. An Sao...
متن کاملDoes passive smoke exposure trigger acute asthma attack in children?
The relationship between asthma and passive smoking has been well established. However, it is still not clear whether an acute asthma attack can be induced by acute smoke exposure. The specific aims of this study were: 1- To assess the degree of smoke exposure through urinary cotinine levels in asthmatic children during and 4 weeks after asthma attacks and, 2- To evaluate the reliability of par...
متن کاملNocturnal itch: why do we itch at night?
Pruritus is exacerbated at night in many systemic and dermatological diseases, resulting in reports of significantly diminished quality of life and sleep disturbances. At present, the underlying mechanisms responsible for night-time itching are not well understood. Nocturnal pruritus may be related to the circadian rhythm of itch mediators and possibly the disruption of such patterns. Diurnal c...
متن کاملCancer and Aging: Why Bother about Light at Night?
Shift work which causes circadian disruption is an established cancer risk factor. A large body of experimental and epidemiological data proves that exposure to light at night promotes carcinogenesis in various tissues and accelerates aging [1-3]. Artificial or natural light through master clock located in suprachiasmatic nuclei of hypothalamus suppresses night peak of melatonin synthesis in th...
متن کاملDoes the Sun appear brighter at night in neutrinos?
We calculate accurately the number of solar neutrino events expected as a function of solar zenith angle, with and without neutrino oscillations, for detectors at the locations of Super-Kamiokande, SNO, and the Gran Sasso National Laboratory. Using different Earth models to estimate geophysical uncertainties, and different solar models to estimate solar uncertainties, we evaluate distortions pr...
