Abstract:

Mestrado em Fisioterapia<br>Background: Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) are the leading cause of hospital visits in children under 5 years old. Therefore, there is an urgent and unmet need to develop objective, reliable and quick measures for respiratory paediatric assessment. Computerised adventitious respiratory sounds (ARS) have shown to be objective and reliable to assess/monitor respiratory diseases; however its application in children with LRTI is unknown. Aim: To characterise/compare ARS in healthy children and children with LRTI. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive

Abstract:

Abstract Dyspnoea associated with respiratory infection is a common symptom in infancy and early childhood. Inspiratory stridor is the main symptom in cases of croup and expiratory wheezing in cases of bronchiolitis, obstructive bronchitis and acute asthma exacerbations. Dyspnoea associated with respiratory infection is a common cause of emergency department visits and unplanned hospital admissions among infants and preschool children. The assessment of dyspnea associated with acute childhood respiratory infection is largely subjective, and evidence regarding the severity of acute dyspnoea is

Abstract:

Treatment of lower respiratory tract infection (pneumonia and pleural infection) relies on the use of empirical broad spectrum antibiotics, primarily because reliable pathogen identification occurs infrequently. Another consequence of poor rates of pathogen identification is that our understanding of the microbiology of these infections is incomplete. This thesis addresses some of these issues by combining the acquisition of high quality lower respiratory tract samples, free from nasooropharyngeal contamination, with novel molecular microbiological techniques in an attempt to increase rates of

Acute respiratory illness represents a large proportion of adult patients admitted to secondary care. Many of these patients have respiratory virus infection but the exact burden of disease in defined clinical groups is unknown. Rhino-enteroviruses are increasingly implicated in severe acute respiratory illness in adults and advances in molecular diagnostics have led the recognition of high strain diversity and to the discovery of a new species (HRV-C). Biomarkers such as procalcitonin and C reactive protein may be able to identify patients with acute respiratory illness without bacterial infe

Introduction Acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI) remains as a leading cause of childhood morbidity and mortality. With the continued universal vaccination campaign against bacterial pathogens, an increase in relative proportion of respiratory viruses contributing to ALRI is anticipated. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has been recognised as the most common pathogen identified in young children presenting with ALRI as well as an important cause of hospital admission.

Severe crowding, shared accommodation, poor personal hygiene, and environmental pollution at Hajj may collectively lead to increased transmission of respiratory viruses.

Abstract Acute rhinosinusitis is estimated to be one of the most common diseases in childhood. Still, the diagnostics and clinical relevance of this disease are controversial.

Background. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes recurrent epidemics in communities and repeated reinfections of individuals throughout life. The extent to which this is a consequence of antigenic diversity of the virus caused by genetic evolution is poorly defined. Clarification of these phenomena has implications for our understanding of RSV persistence and vaccine control. Further, studying RSV epidemics genetic composition contributes to understanding of the transmission dynamics of this virus. Methods.

Human respiratory syncytial vilUs (hRSV) is an important pathogen causing respiratory disease, affecting predominantly the infant and elderly populations.

The N, P, Land M2-1 proteins constitute the viral polymerase and the M2-2 protein acts as a regulatory element in the balance between transcription and replication. The G protein allows attachment of the virus to cellular glycosaminoglycans receptors, and the F protein mediates entry o

Abstract:

Humans are subject to infection with a wide range of commensal and pathogenic organisms. Each pathogen requires an appropriate immune response to eliminate or control the invading organism and minimise pathology. Many pathogens have evolved strategies to subvert or manipulate the immune response and establish on-going infections. Similarly acute respiratory infection with virulent strains of influenza A virus are often poorly controlled by the immune system and can cause severe immunopathology and even fatality as a result of an inappropriate and excessive inflammatory response called a ‘cytok

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a rapidly evolving virus that has significant economic and welfare implications for the pig industry.

However, PRRSV research is inhibited by the current scarcity of suitable in vitro culture systems. With the aim of devel

However, children infected with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a close relative of MeV, do worse when given pharmacological doses of vitamin A.
