Association between 25-hydroxy vitamin D and lung function (FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC) in children and adults with asthma: A systematic review.

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that poses significant individual, social, financial and healthcare burdens. Physicians and researchers have recommended 25-hydroxy vitamin D supplementation, in combination with prescribed medication, as a potential means of reducing asthma severity. This systematic review focuses on the association between 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels and lung function in both children and adults with asthma.

Clinical and immunological aspects of microRNAs in neonatal sepsis.

Neonatal sepsis constitutes a highly relevant public health challenge and is the most common cause of infant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Recent studies have demonstrated that during infection epigenetic changes may occur leading to reprogramming of gene expression. Post-transcriptional regulation by short non-coding RNAs (e.

miRNA-23b as a biomarker of culture-positive neonatal sepsis.

Background: Neonatal sepsis remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality. The ability to quickly and accurately diagnose neonatal sepsis based on clinical assessments and laboratory blood tests remains difficult, where haemoculture is the gold standard for detecting bacterial sepsis in blood culture. It is also very difficult to study because neonatal samples are lacking.

Very High Incidence of Type 1 Diabetes Among Children Aged Under 15 Years in Tlemcen, Northwest Algeria (2015-2018).

Objective: In Algeria, there is a lack of epidemiological data concerning childhood type 1 diabetes (T1D). The International Diabetes Federation estimated in 2019 that Algeria ranked 7 among countries with the highest prevalence of T1D. This study aimed to determine the incidence of T1D in children <15 years, living in Tlemcen in Northwest Algeria.

Retrospective epidemiological study on stomach cancer in a region of western Algeria: about 394 cases between 2011 and 2015.

Purpose: Stomach cancer is a major global health problem; it is one of the ten most common cancers with poor survival, and its incidence is characterized by wide variation. The aim of this work is to carry out a retrospective epidemiological study on gastric cancer in the wilaya of Tlemcen (West Algeria) over a period of 5 years (2011-2015).

Methods: The data set was provided by the cancer registry of the Tlemcen wilaya.
