The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of Montelukast - leukotriene inhibitor in children population with risk of bronchial asthma. The research was conducted at LTD. Kutaisi Children primary care unit #3. The data were collected from January 2013 till January 2016. 104 patients (5-18 year, 43 girl, 61 boy), with potential risk of bronchial asthma were involved into the research, 47 (45%) patients out of 104 were considered as a real risk for asthma, based on Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) and spirometry results. Patients with risk of asthma were grouped according to the method of treatment (monotherapy with inhaled glycocorticoid and inhaled glycocorticoid combined with leukotriene inhibitor). Descriptive statistics methods were used to characterize each variable. Our results indicate on positive influence of montelukast - selective leukotrien inhibitor in treatment of children with various forms of asthma.

Background: Differences in asthma prevalence between urban and rural areas have been observed worldwide. Epidemiological studies in middle- and low-income countries suggest that internal migration processes may partly explain these disparities.
Objective: To investigate the association between internal migration and asthma in children living in transitional areas of Ecuador.

Background: Air pollution is associated with poor asthma outcomes in children. However, most studies focus on ambient or indoor monitor pollution levels. Few studies evaluate breathing zone exposures, which may be more consequential for asthma outcomes.

Background: Maternal Near-Miss (MNM) has become globally recognized as an indicator of pregnancy, birth and the first 42 days of postpartum care services. The World Health Organization has taken a new approach to detail and better analyze maternal deaths. The clinic-based criteria to evaluate maternal care and the quality of related care services have been developed.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: In patients with asthma, bronchoconstriction and airway inflammation both contribute to airway narrowing and airflow limitations, which lead to symptoms and exacerbations. Short-acting beta 2-agonist (SABA)-only rescue therapy addresses only bronchoconstriction and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Current asthma management guidelines recommend concomitant treatment of symptoms and inflammation with a fast-acting bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) as rescue therapy for patients 12 years of age.
