Unlabelled: Preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) are at increased risk of disruptions in their quality of life (QoL) at school age, often associated with respiratory morbidity and the need for ongoing hospital care. The objective of this study is to assess the impact of BPD on the perceived quality of life in preterm infants at school age. We conducted a prospective observational study of infants born at less than 32 weeks gestation who were admitted to our neonatal unit between January 2012 and December 2014.

- Patients with sickle cell disease show varying pulmonary function test results, but the significance of the fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) test in these patients is not well understood.
- A study conducted on 43 patients aged 6-18 years indicated no significant links between elevated FeNO levels and asthma diagnosis, spirometry patterns, or symptoms typically associated with asthma.
- However, a notable association was found between elevated FeNO levels and peripheral eosinophilia, suggesting that airway inflammation mechanisms may differ for patients with sickle cell disease.
Background: Preterm infants, particularly those with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), are at risk of lung development problems. Over the last decades, lung protective strategies have been used, decreasing the risk of chronic lung disease.
Objective: To evaluate the pulmonary function test (PFT) of preterm infants born after the introduction of lung protective strategies and to assess perinatal determinants of impaired lung function in this population.
Background: Children's diffuse lung disease, also known as children's Interstitial Lung Diseases (chILD), are a heterogeneous group of rare diseases with relevant morbidity and mortality, which diagnosis and classification are very complex. Epidemiological data are scarce. The aim of this study was to analyse incidence and prevalence of chILD in Spain.

The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of an education intervention for an asthma inhaler technique during hospital admission for an asthma exacerbation.
Methods: This prospective study was conducted in a pediatric hospitalization unit of a third-level hospital.
Background And Objectives: Based on previous studies revealing acid-suppression medication as a risk factor for food allergy tolerance induction, we aimed to establish the importance of those findings in patients undergoing oral immunotherapy (OIT).
Materials And Methods, Results: We describe a case series of four patients who underwent milk OIT with a concomitant use of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) medication and who developed anaphylaxis after a known, previously tolerated dose of milk.
Conclusions: PPIs may act as a cofactor in patients undergoing OIT, triggering adverse reactions, irrespective of the PPI used or the dosage.
Objective: To describe the epidemiological characteristics, hospital follow-up, and course of patients who underwent surgery for esophageal atresia and its consequences on lung function.
Population And Methods: Retrospective, longitudinal, and analytical study. The medical records of patients with esophageal atresia born between 1996 and 2017 were reviewed.
