Interleukin (IL)-5 is a potent mediator of the inflammatory cascade in the allergic response. Its predominant role in atopic reactions makes this cytokine an ideal target for blocking the eosinophilic inflammatory hyper-responsiveness to allergens. The management of allergic diseases in childhood-such as severe asthma, atopic dermatitis, and eosinophilic esophagitis-is a challenge.

Methods: We enrolled subjects below 12 months of age who were affected by their first bronchiolitis episode. Non-formal randomisation, based on HFNC availability, was used to assign subjects to either the HFNC or standard oxygen groups.
Article Synopsis
- Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a reversible condition that can cause symptoms like headaches, confusion, visual problems, and seizures, linked to specific brain lesions seen in imaging studies.* -
- A case study discusses a 9-year-old boy who presented with only headaches and high blood pressure, highlighting that these can be the sole indicators of PRES.* -
- It's crucial to recognize that severe headaches and hypertension alone can signal PRES, even without other common symptoms, to avoid serious health complications.*
A histochemical study of some enzymes of glucose metabolism was performed on the heart conduction system of rat, dog, rabbit, pig, calf and lamb. Histochemical activities revealed a higher rate of anaerobic metabolism and a lower rate of aerobic metabolism in the conducting cells in comparison with the working myocardial fibres. An increase of the histochemical activities from the atrioventricular node to the distal portions of bundle branches was noted.
