Article Synopsis
- High rates of recurrent acute obstructive bronchitis in children highlight the need for better treatment and prevention strategies, as identifying those at risk for asthma is currently limited.
- A study involving 59 children with recurrent bronchitis and a comparison group of 30 showed that treatment with recombinant interferon alpha-2β improved cytokine levels, indicating a better immune response.
- The findings suggest that cytokine imbalances in these children can be corrected with this therapy, which may provide a more effective approach to managing recurrent bronchial issues.
Background: Timing of invasive intervention such as operative pancreatic debridement (OPD) in patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) is linked to the degree of encapsulation in necrotic collections and controlled inflammation. Additional markers of these processes might assist decision-making on the timing of surgical intervention. In our opinion, it is logical to search for such markers among routine laboratory parameters traditionally used in ANP patients, considering simplicity and cost-efficacy of routine laboratory methodologies.
