Woolcock Institute of Medical Research, The University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia.
Article Synopsis
- A recent review outlines the technical standards and physiological basis of respiratory oscillometry, highlighting its relevance in clinical settings.
- Oscillometry is noted for its sensitivity in measuring airway resistance and effectiveness in conditions like asthma and COPD, especially when traditional tests are unsuitable.
- Despite its promise, further research is necessary to establish its clinical utility for diagnosing and monitoring respiratory diseases.
Characteristics of Acute Nystagmus in the Pediatric Emergency Department.
Pediatrics
August 2020
Pediatric Emergency Department and.
Objectives: Acute nystagmus (AN) is an uncommon neurologic sign in children presenting to pediatric emergency departments. We described the epidemiology, clinical features, and underlying causes of AN in a large cohort of children, aiming at identifying features associated with higher risk of severe underlying urgent conditions (UCs).
Methods: Clinical records of all patients aged 0 to 18 years presenting for AN to the pediatric emergency departments of 9 Italian hospitals in an 8-year period were retrospectively reviewed.
Interrupter resistance to measure dose-response to salbutamol in wheezy preschool children.
Pediatr Pulmonol
September 2018
Paediatric Pulmonary Unit, "Meyer" Paediatric University-Hospital, Florence, Italy.
Aim: Using a non-invasive lung function technique (interrupter resistance, Rint), we aimed to determine whether a dose-response to salbutamol could be detected in wheezy preschool children and if so, which dose of salbutamol should be administered to routinely evaluate bronchial reversibility.
Method: Wheezy children (3 to <7 years) were enrolled in a prospective multicenter study. Rint was measured at baseline, and after random assignment to a first dose (100 or 200 μg) and a second dose (cumulative dose: 400, 600, or 800 μg) of salbutamol.
Lung function tests to monitor respiratory disease in preschool children.
Acta Biomed
June 2018
Paediatric Pulmonary Unit, "Anna Meyer" Paediatric University Hospital, Florence, Italy.
Pulmonary function tests are routinely used in the diagnosis and follow-up of respiratory diseases. In preschool children assessment and evaluation of lung function has always been challenging but improved techniques that require only minimal collaboration allowed obtaining reliable and useful results even in this group of patients. In this review we will describe the different techniques used in clinical practice to measure lung function in preschool children.

July 2018
Department of Medicine, Thrombotic and Haemorrhagic Diseases Unit, University of Padua Medical School, Padua, Italy.
Background: The Italian Registry of Thrombosis in Children (RITI) was established by a multidisciplinary team with the aims of improving knowledge about neonatal and paediatric thrombotic events in Italy and providing a preliminary source of data for the future development of specific clinical trials and diagnostic-therapeutic protocols.
Materials And Methods: We analysed the subset of RITI data concerning paediatric systemic venous thromboembolic events that occurred between January 2007 and June 2013.
Results: Eighty-five deep venous thromboses and seven pulmonary emboli were registered in the RITI.
Acute diplopia in the pediatric Emergency Department. A cohort multicenter Italian study.

Article Synopsis
- * A total of 621 children with AD were analyzed, revealing that 81.2% had non-life-threatening (no-LT) conditions like headaches, while 18.8% had life-threatening (LT) conditions such as brain tumors and demyelinating diseases.
- * The findings suggest that binocular diplopia and associated neurological signs were more prevalent in the LT group, helping to identify key indicators for ED physicians to spot serious issues in pediatric patients.
