Article Synopsis
- Paediatric acute bronchiolitis is typically seasonal, occurring from October to April in the northern hemisphere, but COVID-19 preventive measures led to a decrease in cases during the 2020-21 season.
- A study involving 6,334 infants in Spain examined the epidemiological changes in acute bronchiolitis cases before, during, and after COVID-19 interventions from September 2021 to August 2023.
- The findings revealed unexpected out-of-season peaks in bronchiolitis cases in the summers of 2021 and 2022, along with significant increases in hospitalization metrics in 2022-2023 compared to prior seasons.
Background: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) mellitus and obesity are recognized risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). A common mechanism underlying an increased risk for endothelial dysfunction in these two metabolic diseases is oxidative stress.
Objective: To evaluate and compare the oxidant/antioxidant defense systems in children affected with T1D or obesity in order to determine the importance of oxidative stress before the emergence of complications.
Diabetic nephropathy (DN), a major cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetes, will develop within a subset of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients, and oxidative stress has been implicated in its pathogenesis. To investigate the relationship between indicators of early DN stages (hyperfiltration estimated by creatinine clearance > or =150 ml/min per 1.73 m(2), microalbuminuria) and oxidative stress, a prospective study was conducted in 29 T1DM patients (age 13.
