Background: Pediatric respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-related acute lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) commonly requires hospitalization. The Clinical Progression Scale Pediatrics (CPS-Ped) measures level of respiratory support and degree of hypoxia across a range of disease severity, but it has not been applied in infants hospitalized with severe RSV-LRTI.
Methods: We analyzed data from a prospective surveillance registry of infants hospitalized for RSV-related complications across 39 U.
Article Synopsis
- Thromboembolic complications in severe COVID-19 are linked to neutrophil-extracellular-trap (NET)-driven immunothrombosis, indicating a significant immune response issue.
- This study analyzes plasma IgA glycosylation during severe SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A infections, finding changes in glycan structures associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
- The differences in IgA glycosylation patterns between COVID-19 and Influenza A suggest that these changes could influence immune responses and NET formation, highlighting the need for further exploration of IgA's role in infectious diseases.
Parents' judgment of their children's cognitive ability is important for providing adequate learning environments. This study examined parents' judgment accuracy with 2346 children (M = 8.94 years; 48.
