OBJECTIVES: Rhinoviruses are the most common aetiological agents of colds, but the frequency and the severity of other locations of the infection are not well known. This study describes the clinical aspects and the severity of rhinovirus infections in hospitalised children. METHODS: Isolation in culture and a RT-PCR were performed for the detection of rhinovirus in nasal aspirates from hospitalised children from September 1998 to October 2000. A group of 211 children found to be positive for rhinovirus was studied. RESULTS: Rhinovirus-infected children suffered from the following clinical syndromes: 60 (28.4%) upper airway infections, 81 (38.4%) bronchiolitis, 25 (11.9%) pneumonias and 12 (4.7%) acute attacks of asthma. Clinical symptoms were wheezing (32%), ronchi (37%) and 29% of children presented with acute distress respiratory syndrome; 40% of the available chest X-Ray were abnormal. Eight children were hospitalised in the intensive care unit and two children died. Twenty-five children (10.9%) had a nosocomial infection; a dual infection was observed in 19 cases (9%) with the following viruses: RSV (3), influenza (2) parainfluenza (8), adenovirus (2), enterovirus (4); 19 (9%) children had a secondary bacterial infection. Rhinoviruses were detected in nasal aspirates in 112 cases (53%) according to the culture and in the rhinovirus culture-negative samples in 99 cases (47%) according to the RT-PCR assay. CONCLUSION: After eliminating cases of bacterial or viral dual infections, the clinical aspects of rhinovirus infections in children are the following: upper respiratory tract infections (25.6%), bronchiolitis ou bronchitis (25.6%), pneumonia (6.2%), acute attack of asthma (5.7%). The virological diagnosis according to culture is mainly improved by molecular techniques.

Respiratory viruses in the intensive care unit.

Respiratory viruses cause a number of clinical 'syndromes' in the intensive care unit with different viruses being able to produce similar clinical pictures. Our main presenting problems are upper airway (e.g. croup and tracheitis), lower airway with intrapulmonary shunt (e.g. bronchitis and pneumonia), lower airway with dynamic hyperinflation (e.g. bronchiolitis and wheeze) and control of breathing (e.g. apnoea). This pragmatic classification is used because it enables focus on the physiological abnormality needing treatment, and how best to deliver appropriate and adequate ventilator support. This review provides an overview of these syndromes and a more detailed account of respiratory syncytial virus, our most commonly diagnosed winter illness.

BACKGROUND: Clinicians cite parental misconceptions and requests for antibiotics as reasons for inappropriate prescribing. AIMS: To identify misconceptions regarding antibiotics and predictors of parental demand for antibiotics and to determine if parental knowledge and attitudes are associated with use. METHODS: Survey of parents in 16 Massachusetts communities. Domains included antibiotic-related knowledge, attitudes about antibiotics, antibiotic use during a 12-month period, demographics, and access to health information. Bivariate and multivariate analyses evaluated predictors of knowledge and proclivity to demand antibiotics. A multivariate model evaluated the associations of knowledge, demand, and demographic factors with parent-reported antibiotic use. RESULTS: A total of 1106 surveys were returned (response rates: 54% and 32% for commercially-insured and Medicaid-insured families). Misconceptions were common regarding bronchitis (92%) and green nasal discharge (78%). Two hundred sixty-five (24%) gave responses suggesting a proclivity to demand antibiotics. Antibiotic knowledge was associated with increased parental age and education, having more than 1 child, white race, and receipt of media information on resistance. Factors associated with a proclivity to demand antibiotics included decreased knowledge, pressure from day-care settings, lack of alternatives offered by clinicians, and lack of access to media information. Among all respondents, reported antibiotic use was associated with younger child age and day-care attendance. Among Medicaid-insured children only, less antibiotic knowledge and tendency to demand antibiotics were associated with higher rates of antibiotic use. CONCLUSIONS: Misconceptions regarding antibiotic use are widespread and potentially modifiable by clinicians and media sources. Particular attention should be paid to Medicaid-insured patients in whom such misconceptions may contribute to inappropriate prescribing.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). METHODS: Three autopsy cases were studied retrospectively. Routine HE stain was used to study all the cases. Part of the lung tissue specimens were studied further with Macchiavello's stain, viral inclusion body stain, reticulin and PAS stains, immunohistochemistry, thin sections with staining, light microscopy and transmission electronic microscope investigation. RESULTS: The earliest symptom of all 3 cases was hyperpyrexia and followed by progressive dyspnea and appearance of lung field shadows in X rays findings. Pulmonary lesions included: bilateral and extensive consolidation, localized hemorrhage and necrosis, desquamative alveolitis and bronchitis, alveolar proliferation and desquamation, accumulation of protein exudates, mononuclear cells, lymphocytes, and plasma cells as well as hyaline membrane formation in alveoli and viral inclusion bodies were seen in the alveolus epithelial cells. The exudated organization tended to become glomeruloid organizing pneumonitis in a few avaoli. Lesions of the immune organs included: large patchy necrosis in the spleens and localized necrosis in the lymph nodes were seen. Bone marrow became restrained. There were lesions of systemic small vasculitis including edema of the perivascular tissue and vascular wall of the small veins with localized fibrinoid necrosis distributing in the heart, lungs, kidneys, adrenal glands and the striated muscles accompanying with mononuclear cells and lymphocytes infiltration. Thrombosis was seen in part of the small veins. In addition, there were also the systemic poisonous changes including: degeneration and necrosis of the parenchyma cells in lungs, liver, kidneys, heart and adrenals. Electronic microscopy demonstrated clusters of virus particles seen in the lung tissue. CONCLUSION: SARS is a systemic disease. Lungs, immune system and systemic small vessels are the main target organs attacked by the virus. Extensive consolidation of lungs, formation of hyaline membrane to a large extent, respiratory distress and decrease of immune function are the main causes of death.

There are a number of approaches to hair loss problems.
Hair Million is an herbal alternative. It is a formula made of traditional, edible herbs
and has been anecdotally demonstrated the efficacy to ward off hair loss
problems.
There is no singular medical or alternative cure for hair loss since the
biology of hair growth is a highly complicated phenomenon.
It is unknown how Hair Million stops hair loss,
and promotes hair restoration.
The advantages of Hair Million over other approaches are, firstly, Hair Million is comparatively inexpensive,
and secondly, it is made only of traditionally used safe and healthy herbs that promote hair growth
according to Chinese pharmacopoeia. In addition, Hair Million is cardiotonic, meaning that Hair Million consists of herbs
that strengthens your heart, according to Chinese medicine. There is an interesting research paper which correlates baldness
to heart diseases: people with alopecia or hair loss
problems are significantly more likely to develop heart attacks.
DHEA is a natural hormone, and it is produced in our body by the adrenal glands.
DHEA has been suggested to provide numerous potential benefits. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is converted into androgens (male hormones)
or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells.
