A Prospective Study

Bronchiolitis is a common lung infection in young children and infants. It causes inflammation and congestion in the small airways (bronchioles) of the lung. Bronchiolitis is almost caused by a virus. Bronchodilators are medication which makes breathing easier by relaxing the muscles in the lungs and widening airways. To assess the efficacy and risk associated with the use of bronchodilators in pediatric patients with bronchiolitis. To assess the Efficacy of Bronchodilators, to evaluate the risk associated with bronchodilators in bronchiolitis patients and to evaluate the patient compliance in patients using bronchodilator for bronchiolitis. This study was conducted in 10 bronchiolitic pediatric patients. This study was conducted by categorizing the patients according to their Respiratory Rate, SpO2 and Heart Rate values. Patient compliance is analyzed using CRS scale and risk is assessed with Wang Scale. Keywords: Bronchiolitis, Bronchodilators, Levosalbutamol

A review of the studies on the use of the antigen-antibody system HMW-MAA 225.28S in melanoma radioimmunodetection is reported. The results obtained in a pilot study (42 patients with 74 lesions), a multicenter trial (254 patients with 553 lesions) and a prospective study still outstanding (29 patients with 38 lesions) allow to consider this system as suitable for clinical application. F(ab′)2 labelled with 99mTc gave the best results in terms of positivity. Moreover this radioisotope allows the best dosimetric conditions. The gamma energy emitted by this radionuclide is particularly convenient for conventional scintillation cameras and ECT. Very good results in terms of sensitivity (70%-85%) and especially specificity (about 100%) were achieved. Possible clinical applications of the method are discussed.

Preoperative Chest

To assess the value of routine preoperative chest x-ray films in pediatric patients, a prospective study of 1,500 patients, ages newborn to 19 years, was undertaken. Of all the patients, 7.5% demonstrated at least one roentgenographic abnormality, with 4.7% of the patients demonstrating a totally unsuspected significant roentgenographic anomaly. In 3.8% of the patients, surgery was either postponed or cancelled or the anesthetic technique was altered as a result of the roentgenographic finding. It is believed that the routine preoperative chest film is justified if the film is evaluated before surgery and the results clinically followed up.

McCarthy et al. in their article "Temperature Greater Than or Equal to 40 C in Children Less Than 24 Months of Age: A Prospective Study" (Pediatrics 59:663, May 1977) recommend using both WBC count (≥ 15,000/cu mm) and ESR (≥ 30 mm/hr) for screening febrile young children for pneumonia or bacteremia. If either is elevated they suggest doing blood cultures and taking a chest roentgenogram. However, in 25% of their patients with bacteremia and 42% of their patients with pneumonia neither WBC count nor ESR was elevated, leaving a sizable false-negative group.

Asthma Triggers

Introduction. Allergen-specific IgE (sIgE) testing provides an objective assessment of sensitization to an allergen. Goal. To identify the time when serum measurements of sIgE would be most sensitive. Methods. This was a prospective study conducted between September 1, 2015, and February 25, 2019. Subjects ≥5 and ≤18 years of age, seen in the ED or admitted with an asthma exacerbation, were tested for total IgE and 8 perennial sIgE levels. Subjects with elevated sIgE were tested again after symptom resolution. Results. A total of 104 subjects were enrolled; 50 subjects were eligible for inclusion in the analysis. There were statistically significant differences between the visits for all sIgE, except Alternaria alternatum. Conclusions. In pediatric patients, serum sIgE levels measured during an asthma exacerbation were elevated compared with when their asthma was in better control. sIgE testing during an asthma exacerbation may help identify asthma triggers, mitigate exposure, and hence improve asthma control.
