warning to pay more attention to fungal allergic asthma in children
Authors
abstract
asthma is a global problem that affects over 300 million people in the world. the main reason of asthma is allergy and atopy. asthmatic patients are sensitized to allergens that can be resulting asthma attacks. fungi as an allergen can be sensitized atopic people and present a severe asthma. fungi have been found in water-damaged homes of asthmatic patients. allergic asthma is associated with exposure to fungal contamination in building that fungal exposure is both outside and indoors. this sensitization could be associated with high asthma severity, reduced lung function, morbidity and mortality of patients, especially in pediatric asthma form. fungal fragments and spores could be found indoors what origins are from fungi present outdoors. most fungi possess diverse allergens and are metabolic products secreted outside the organism or cytoplasmic and structural components released on lysis of the fungi. sporulation is largely determined by temperature, humidity, and moisture. so, seasonal fluctuations and geographic region have main role in determination of sporulation

full textShould otolaryngologists pay more attention to nasal swell bodies?
BACKGROUND The nasal swell body (NSB) is a distinct structure of the anterior nasal septum. Comprised of septal cartilage, bone, and a thick mucosal lining, the NSB is visible on endoscopic examination and radiographic study. However, it receives little attention in the clinical setting and can be confused with high septal deviation. Based on anatomical and histological evidence, investigators ...
full textWe must pay more attention to record linkage quality.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/0102-311XED010715 Record linkage techniques enable researchers to identify and merge data regarding a single individual stored in different databases 1. There are many possibilities for applying these techniques in health research, surveillance and evaluation. This has led to an increasing interest in their use. Following an international trend, we have observed a grow...
