The Relationship

Abstract: Upper Respiratory Track Infections (URI) is a kind of respiratory disease which is closely related to the quality of housing and the quality of ambient air. Ventilation is one component of a residential environmental health assessment. The dust may cause dryness of mucous in the respiratory tract so that a person may suffer or feel the symptoms of respiratory infection. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between ambient air dust and ventilation in the former place of fi nal processing (TPA) Keputih with URI (Upper Respiratory Tract Infection). This research is a cross sectional analytical and observational. The sample in this study is the ambient air concentration of dust particles and housewives from 77 families in RW VIII Keputih Area. To determine the relationship of ambient air dust and ventilation with respiratorydisease using Chi Square test. The results showed that respondents who had experienced respiratory infection as much as 89,6%. Levels of dust particles measured at the point I exceeded the quality standard that is equal to 0,3223 mg/Nm3. Home ventilation that do not appropiate the requirements of a healthy home is at 93.5%.There’s a relationship between the use of home ventilation with URI (p = 0.000) and the levels of ambient air dust particles with URI (p = 0.003). This study concludes that the two variables associated with the incidence of respiratory infection so the need for community empowerment and proactive attitude of the various instruments of government in the area of research on the prevention of URI and the presence of a good control of the quality of environmental health VIII RW Keputih Area.Keywords: dust quality, home ventilation, the ex-place of fi nal processing, URI

Background: Echinacea possibly reduces the effectiveness of corticosteroids, commonly used by asthmatics and for treating viral induced wheeze, and can cause hypersensitivity reactions in susceptible individuals. Treatment of the common cold in children with Echinacea has only been investigated in one randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial to examine the efficacy and safety of Echinacea purpurea in children with upper respiratory tract infections. This study aimed to investigate the effect Echinacea purpurea herbs in reducing symptoms of upper respiratory infection. Subjects and Method: This was meta-analysis and systematic review. The study was conducted by collecting published articles from PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar databases. The study subject was adults with upper respiratory infection. Intervention was Echinecea purpurea herbs extract with comparison placebo. The study outcome was decreased symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection. The inclusion criteria were full text, using English language, and using randomized controlled trial. The collected articles were selected by PRISMA flow chart. The quantitative data were analyzed using Revman 5.3 Results: A meta-analysis using 6 studies from United States resulted high heterogeneity between experimental groups (I2= 98%; p<0.001), so it conducted by random effect model (REM). This study showed that provision of Echinecea purpurea herbs extract reduced symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection than placebo (Mean Difference= -0.56; 95% CI= -0.91 to -0.22; p= 0.001). Conclusion: Echinecea purpurea herbs extract reduced symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection than placebo.

On 9 April, headline news in a local newspaper in Crete reported the death of a previously healthy 45 year old woman in Heraklion. The death, which occurred on 5 April, was associated with myocarditis after upper respiratory tract infection. A second death (13 April) of a 48-year old woman from eastern Crete with similar symptoms was also headline news.

In the present study, we have recorded the percentage of prescribing prevalence for different respiratory drugs and antibiotics and DDDs/1000inhabitants/day for different antibiotics to recognize the drug utilization trends in respiratory tract infections. In the present study, among the upper respiratory infection cases, 89.60% of the patients received antibiotics and culture was done in only 4.62% of patients. Among the lower respiratory infection cases all the patients were prescribed antibiotic therapy, culture was done in 39.58% of patients, and 55.26% was sterile. Pneumonia was found more in the age group of 41 to 70 whereas Nonspecific URTI and Sinusitis in the age group of 17 to 30. The sex distribution of the patients showed that the female constituted of 59.38% of the patients and male constituted of 40.56% of the patients. The upper respiratory tract infection constituted of 69.47% of patients and lower respiratory tract infection constituted of 31.16% of patients.

To evaluate the effects of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25OHD) on symptoms at the onset of the upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) in subjects with insufficient or deficient serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels, we conducted a post hoc analysis of data from a randomized, placebo-controlled study; the subjects received 10 μg of 25OHD per day or a placebo for 16 weeks. The Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Survey-21 was used to determine URTI. The study endpoints included WURSS-21 scores, number of URTI events, and proportion of medication (antibiotics, antipyretic analgesics) usage. We found that the physical symptom scores for “Runny nose,” “Sneezing,” and “Head congestion” were significantly lower in the 25OHD group than in the placebo group; for all items except “Breathe easily, “the quality of life” scores were significantly improved in the 25OHD group. There was no significant difference in the number of URTI events or the proportion of medication use between the groups. Collectively, the findings of this study indicate that a sufficient 25OHD intake can reduce physical symptoms at the onset of upper respiratory tract infection, particularly nasal symptoms, and may improve the quality of life at the time of onset.

Introduction: Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death in the first year of life. One of the manifestations of CHD is upper respiratory infection (URI). In Indonesia, 90% of the acute respiratory infection is URI and it becomes the most common reason for children to go to emergency center. The aim of this study is to describe the profile of children with congenital heart disease and upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya, based on sex, age, immunization status, social-economic status, and type of CHD. Methods: This descriptive study was done by collecting data using medical records and questionnaires from March 1st to 31st 2018. Results: Total number of the sample was 46 patients; 18 (39.1%) of them were male and 28 (60.9%) were female, with male to female ratio was 1:1.6. The most common age group (69.6%) was toddler (0-5 years old). The most common type of CHD was acyanotic (89.1%). Conclusion: Female patients had more (80%) severe URI than male patients. Patients with severe URI only occur in toddlers. Interestingly, 60% of patients with severe URI had complete immunization. Patients with severe URI had parents with moderate (60%) and low income (40%). There were 100% of patients with severe URI who had acyanotic CHD.
