Asthma is a common chronic disease in children. It is a dynamic condition-symptoms change over time, and the outcome of diagnostic tests can vary. Consequently, evaluating the onset of asthma at a single point in time, perhaps when patients are asymptomatic with limited impairment of the lung function, may result in false diagnostic conclusions.

Introduction: Knowledge on prevalence and association of human papillomavirus (HPV) in third trimester placentae and adverse pregnancy outcomes is limited. We investigated the prevalence of placental HPV at delivery, explored urine HPV characteristics associated with placental HPV and whether placental HPV increased the risk adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Methods: Pregnant women were enrolled in the Scandinavian PreventADALL mother-child cohort study at midgestation.

Article Synopsis
  • In a study involving 2153 infants, those who received mineral-based oil baths four times a week experienced higher transepidermal water loss (TEWL) compared to those who did not receive any skin intervention.
  • The oil bath group showed significantly less dry skin at 3 and 6 months, but this difference diminished by 12 months.
  • No interaction was found between the skin intervention and filaggrin (FLG) mutations, indicating that genetic factors didn't modify the effects of the oil baths on skin condition throughout the first year.

Introduction: Eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN) is related to childhood asthma, while normal values are lacking. We aimed to document serum EDN levels at 1 and 3 years in general and in non-atopic children, and explore if EDN levels differed by sex or were associated with preschool asthma at 3 years.

Methods: From the PreventADALL birth cohort, we included 1233 children with EDN analysed using ImmunoCAP at 1 and/or 3 years.

Aims And Objectives: The primary aim was to explore whether infants with pain symptoms (colic, abdominal pain and visit to healthcare provider with pain or other discomforts) had increased multimorbidity (common infections, eczema and food sensitivity) compared with infants without these conditions. Secondarily, we aimed to determine whether infant pain symptoms were associated with maternal perceived stress in pregnancy and 3 months postpartum.

Background: Infant colic and abdominal pain are common concerns in early infancy.
