The aim of this study was to compare the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the patients with psychogenic respiratory behaviour to the control group and to evaluate their diagnosis according to DSM-5. Method: The study includes 52 children with PRB and control group, which includes 42 children, without any chronic disease. Patients who were followed-up in our Pediatric Pulmonology outpatient clinic between January 2017 and November 2018 were included in the study. Results: The mean age of the patients with PRB was 11.25 ± 2.61, it was 11.17 ± 2.58 in the control group. There were cough in 35 patients, shortness of breath, in 11 patients throat clearance in 11 patients and deep sighing in 6 patients. Symptoms were more than 6 months in most patients. Considering the previous examinations; PA-AC radiography 84.6%, allergy skin tests 76.9%, blood test 82.7%, spirometry 73.1% and CT 23.1% were performed in patients . Least one psychiatric disease was detected at 55.8% of PRB group and this rate was 28.6% in the control group. Discussion and Conclusion: Psychogenic respiratory problems are usually diagnosed by exclusion of other diseases. This diagnosis should be considered in the adolescent age group which has no pathology in physical examination but especially high stress factor. In suspected patients, early psychiatric evaluation is important for early diagnosis of these patients.","PeriodicalId":190855,"journal":{"name":"Paediatric respiratory epidemiology","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116421836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our study included 60 children divided into two groups. First group of 30 children with asthma and rhinitis(A+AR). And second group with 30 children with asthma and no rhinitis(A). Both groups performed pulmonary lung function tests in days 7th,14th,21st, following asthma flare up. In the first group (A+AR) parameters FEV1, FVC and FEF25-75% showed more sever flare up. In the first group (A+AR) at the end of first week, parameters FEV1, FVC and FEF25-75%, showed statistically significant lower values- FEV1(p=0.050), FVC(p=0,026), FEF25-75%(p=0,050). Through following weeks there was statistical difference in values of FEV1, lower in first group (A+AR) and with slower recovery. There was no difference in values of FEF25-75% parameter between these groups. In conclusion, pulmonary lung function values were more decreased, FEV1 showed slower recovery and flare ups were more severe in group with associated rhinitis.","PeriodicalId":190855,"journal":{"name":"Paediatric respiratory epidemiology","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131638199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Described as rare in the child, his diagnosis is underestimated. It manifests with dyspnoea, cough and chest pain, and occasionally subcutaneous emphysema. The objective is to report the radiological clinical profile of five cases of pneumomediastinum. Five cases were diagnosed, 4 boys and 1 girl, with a mean age of 3.7 years (range = 3 months to 5 years). In two, there was a previous history of controlled asthma, one had a chronic cough, with no previous diagnosis of asthma, one with acute viral bronchiolitis and another with non-progressive chronic encephalopathy with noninvasive ventilation. All were admitted to the emergency room and 4 needed an intensive care unit. Symptomatology included cough (n = 5), dyspnea (n = 5), oxygen desaturation (3), subcutaneous emphysema (4) and chest pain (n = 2). All presented radiological alterations suggestive of pneumomediastinum, confirmed by HRCT in 4. There was complete recovery in 4 cases, without relapse until this moment. One case evolved to death. Conclusion: The diagnosis of pneumomediastinum in pediatrics requires a high index of suspicion, careful clinical evaluation and should be considered in children with acute chest pain. The clinical diagnosis is complemented by chest X-ray. It presents frequently benign evolution, being rare the relapse. The increasing description in the literature, especially of spontaneous cases (Hammam Syndrome) suggests that this condition was being underdiagnosed.","PeriodicalId":190855,"journal":{"name":"Paediatric respiratory epidemiology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126290474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has been considered as the most common cause of bronchiolitis. However, other viruses, such as rhinovirus (RV), have also been associated with increased clinical severity as well as with wheeze sequelae. Currently there is no consensus as to whether a specific virus detected during the first episode of hospitalized bronchiolitis could link to the incidence of recurrent wheeze. This is a cohort study of term infants that aims to add to the field. Methods: This is a prospective cohort study including 131 otherwise healthy term infants presenting with the first episode of hospitalized bronchiolitis and 73 age-matched control patients. A panel of 8 respiratory viruses were detected in nasopharyngeal washes. All patients were followed up until the age of 3 years old by with 6 monthly telephone reviews. Measured outcomes were the incidence of wheeze attacks, the number of reported admissions with wheeze and total number of treatment days.

Body mass index (BMI) trajectories, which integrate information on multiple aspects of growth, may allow a more accurate identification of children at higher risk of future respiratory diseases. We assessed the associations of BMI trajectories from birth to 4 years with lung function and current asthma at 7 years. We included 1399 participants from the population-based INMA birth cohort study. Five BMI trajectories were previously identified: ‘average birth size-slower BMI gain’, ‘higher birth size-accelerated BMI gain’, ‘higher birth size-slower BMI gain’, ‘lower birth size-accelerated BMI gain’ and ‘lower birth size-slower BMI gain’. At 7 years, lung function (FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC) was assessed by spirometry and current asthma was assessed by questionnaire. After adjustment for potential confounders, children in the accelerated BMI gain trajectories had higher FVC at 7 years either if they departed from lower (37mL; 95%CI: -1.2 to 75) or higher (51mL; 13 to 90) birth size, compared to children in the ‘average birth size-slower BMI gain’ trajectory. These two groups also presented lower FEV1/FVC at 7 years, although the associations were not statistically significant. Children in the ‘low birth size-slower BMI gain’ trajectory had -47mL (95%CI: -84 to -11) lower FVC at 7 years, compared to children in the ‘average birth size-slower BMI gain’ trajectory. No associations were observed for FEV1 or asthma.
