Common Respiratory Disorders

310
Respiratory disorders, a prevalent health concern globally, are generally divided into two primary categories: upper and lower respiratory tract disorders. The categorization is based on the area of the respiratory system they affect.
Upper respiratory disorders impact the airways above the vocal cords, encompassing areas like the nose, sinuses, and throat. Various conditions fall under this category, including the common cold and allergic rhinitis. These disorders can stem from several causes,...

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

42
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Chronic Pharyngitis01:23

Chronic Pharyngitis

1.2K
Chronic pharyngitis refers to persistent inflammation of the pharyngial mucosa.
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...

Upper Respiratory Drugs: Antitussives, Expectorants, and Mucolytics01:23

Upper Respiratory Drugs: Antitussives, Expectorants, and Mucolytics

232
Respiratory symptoms, such as congestion and cough, commonly accompany respiratory tract conditions. Various medications, such as antitussives, expectorants, and mucolytics, play crucial roles in providing relief.
Antitussives include codeine, dextromethorphan (Robitussin), and benzonatate (Tessalon). Codeine and dextromethorphan exert their effects centrally by suppressing the cough reflex center in the medulla.  Benzonatate operates peripherally within the respiratory tract by...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Nearly half of preschool children with chronic rhinitis have iron deficiency (ID). Higher neutrophil and monocyte counts were linked to iron deficiency in these children, suggesting an immune system connection.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Allergy and Immunology
  • Pediatric Hematology
  • Pediatric Respiratory Medicine

Background:

  • Iron deficiency (ID) is associated with inflammatory conditions.
  • Chronic rhinitis is a common respiratory inflammatory disorder in children.
  • Understanding ID in pediatric chronic rhinitis is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of iron deficiency in preschool children with chronic rhinitis.
  • To investigate the association between iron deficiency and chronic rhinitis in this age group.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study included 72 children aged 3-7 years with chronic rhinitis.
  • Iron deficiency was defined by transferrin saturation <20% or ferritin <15 ng/mL.
  • Logistic regression analysis identified factors associated with ID.

Main Results:

  • The prevalence of iron deficiency was 47.2% among children with chronic rhinitis.
  • Absolute iron deficiency was found in only 5.9% of affected children.
  • Neutrophils (OR=1.205) and monocytes (OR=1.803) were significantly associated with ID.

Conclusions:

  • A substantial prevalence of iron deficiency exists in preschool children with chronic rhinitis.
  • The association of neutrophils and monocytes with ID suggests innate immunity involvement.
  • Further research into the interplay between iron status and pediatric rhinitis is warranted.
