Childhood Wheezing
Exposure to air pollution not associated with allergic disease in early childhood
WASHINGTON — There were no significant associations between prenatal exposure to ambient particulate matter and atopic disease, according to a study presented at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Annual Meeting.
Clinically significant respiratory disease associated with childhood wheeze
Clinically significant respiratory disease was significantly associated with childhood wheeze in a low-resource, nonindustrialized setting, according to a study published in Clinical and Translational Allergy.
Viral infections, family history drive trajectories of pediatric wheeze development
Wheeze may follow one of four distinct trajectories with different risk factors as it develops in children, possibly determined by the timing of viral infection, according to a study published in Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.
Mature microbiomes in infancy associated with less wheeze in early childhood
Infants with more mature microbiota had less allergy-related wheeze or asthma in early childhood, according to an abstract presented at the European Respiratory Society International Congress.
Vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy has positive impact on childhood wheeze
The benefits of gestational exposure to vitamin D for respiratory health in children is characterized by specific alterations to the mother’s metabolism, according to a study published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
Vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy has positive impact on childhood wheeze
The benefits of gestational exposure to vitamin D for respiratory health in children is characterized by specific alterations to the mother’s metabolism, according to a study published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
Mental, social health of caregivers associated with wheeze outcomes in preschoolers
Poor mental and social health among caregivers of preschoolers with wheeze was associated with more symptoms and wheezing among those children, according to a study published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice.
Future exacerbations in children with severe wheeze predicted by bronchial remodeling
The risk for regular and severe future exacerbations in children aged 1 to 5 years with severe wheeze can be found through bronchial remodeling, according to results published in American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
Moisture damage, mold at home during infancy associated with persistent childhood wheeze
Residential exposure to moisture damage and mold during infancy had a dose-dependent association with wheeze later in childhood, according to a study published in Pediatric Allergy and Immunology.
Airway microbiota ‘unlikely to be a strong target’ in severe childhood asthma/wheeze
Children with asthma/wheeze demonstrated a strong relationship between age and airway microbiota, with a modest difference observed based on asthma severity, according to study results published in Annals of the American Thoracic Society.
