Pretest temperature and humidity were correlated with tracheobronchial particle penetration and clearance data from donkeys housed in unheated outdoor facilities and tested after spending 1-2 h in a temperature- and humidity-controlled laboratory. The animals inhaled an inert insoluble radioisotope-labeled monodisperse aerosol for several minutes. Its retention was monitored continuously for 3 h by external gamma detection. Aerosol deposition pattern and bronchial clearance were linearly correlated with pretest outdoor temperature which ranged from -10 to 30 degrees C. The fraction depositing in the unciliated regions of the lung decreased 0.6% per degrees C drop in outdoor temperature. Overall bronchial transport decreased at least 1.5% per degrees C decrease. Multiple linear regression analysis and correction for the positive correlation between temperature and humidity left no significant residual humidity dependence. Acclimatization of the animals in the laboratory for 6 h before testing significantly reduced these effects.

Effectiveness of a therapeutic bath for pain relief in hospitalized children with respiratory conditions: Randomized controlled clinical trial.
J Pediatr Nurs
November 2024
School of Nursing, University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.
Aim: To assess the effectiveness of a therapeutic bath combined with analgesic medication versus the use of analgesic medication alone in alleviating generalized acute pain in hospitalized children with respiratory conditions.
Methods: A randomized controlled clinical trial, with parallel groups, with children aged 28 days to 3 years who were hospitalized for respiratory conditions with associated pain. Participants were allocated into two groups: 40 children to a control group (CG), which received isolated analgesic medication at same time, and 40 children to an intervention group (IG), which received both a therapeutic bath and analgesic medication.

Department of Physical Therapy, Chung Shan Medical University, Taiwan, China.
Background: Aerobic exercise is closely associated with the vital functions of patients with scoliosis. Infrared thermography (IRT) has been increasingly applied in physiological measurements in recent years.
Objective: This observational study aimed to use IRT to examine the back body surface temperatures of patients with idiopathic scoliosis during aerobic exercise.
High prevalence and risk factors associated with asymptomatic malaria among children in Nkwen village, Northwest Region, Cameroon.
Malar J

Laboratory of Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (FMBS), The University of Yaoundé I, Yaoundé, Cameroon.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence and risk factors of asymptomatic malaria among children in Nkwen village, emphasizing the need for control programs that consider asymptomatic carriers to successfully interrupt malaria transmission.
- Conducted from June to December 2022, the research involved 246 children, using structured questionnaires, infrared thermometers for temperature checks, and both microscopy and PCR techniques to detect malaria parasites in blood samples.
- Results revealed that 65.9% of children tested positive for malaria via PCR, with females showing a higher prevalence than males; logistic regression identified factors contributing to asymptomatic malaria at both individual and household levels.
