Home-based educational interventions for children with asthma.

by on 11. Oct, 2011 in Health

CONCLUSIONS: We found inconsistent evidence for house-based asthma educational interventions compared to average attention, education delivered outside of the house or a less intensive educational intervention delivered at house. Although education remains a key component of managing asthma in children, advocated in numerous guidelines, this review does not contribute further data on the fundamental content and optimum setting for such educational interventions.

Addition to inhaled corticosteroids of long-acting beta2-agonists versus anti-leukotrienes for chronic asthma.

by on 17. May, 2011 in Health

Authors: Ducharme FM, Lasserson TJ, Cates CJ
Asthma patients who carry on to familiarity signs and symptoms despite being on regular inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) represent a management challenge. Extended-acting beta(2)-agonists (LABA) or anti-leukotrienes (LTRA) are two therapy options that could be considered as add-on therapy to ICS.

Authors: Geng J, Dong J, Li Y, Ni H, Jiang K, Shi LL, Wang G
Epilepsy is a common neurological condition, with an estimated incidence of 50 per 100,000 persons. Human beings with epilepsy may present with various types of immunological abnormalities, such as low serum IgA level, lack of IgG subclass and identification of certain types of antibodies. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) treatment may represent a valuable approach and its efficacy has vital implications for epilepsy management.
