  Prenatal particulate air pollution exposure may alter lung growth and development in utero in a time-sensitive and sex-specific manner, resulting in reduced lung function in childhood. Such relationships have not been examined for nitrate (NO).

  More info

  Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) has adverse cardiovascular effects in children and adults. In adults with cardiac disease, SDB is highly prevalent and confers increased mortality risk. It is unknown if SDB confers a similar risk in infants with congenital heart disease (CHD). We evaluated clinical and economic outcomes associated with SDB among inpatient infants with CHD in the United States from 1997-2012.

  In the non-selected birth cohort Tucson Children's Respiratory Study, early sensitisation to was associated with increased airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR) into adult life among non-asthmatics. The increase in AHR was of a similar magnitude to that seen for sensitised asthmatics and was primarily evident among those who were overweight or obese. In contrast, there was no significant association between early sensitisation to aeroallergens other than and AHR among non-asthmatics. Why this group of sensitised individuals without asthma demonstrated increased AHR of a magnitude similar to asthmatics is unknown and requires further investigation.

  More info

  Asthma exacerbations occur frequently despite the regular use of asthma-controller therapies, such as inhaled glucocorticoids. Clinicians commonly increase the doses of inhaled glucocorticoids at early signs of loss of asthma control. However, data on the safety and efficacy of this strategy in children are limited.

  More info

  Cystic fibrosis (CF) deaths result primarily from lung function loss, so chronic respiratory therapies intended to preserve lung function are cornerstones of CF care. Although treatment-associated reduction in rate of lung function loss should ultimately improve CF survival, no such relationship has been described for any chronic CF therapy. In part, this is because the ages of most rapid lung function decline -- early adolescence -- precede the median age of CF deaths by more than a decade.

Exercise Stroke Volume in Adult Cystic Fibrosis: A Comparison of Acetylene Pulmonary Uptake and Oxygen Pulse. Clinical medicine insights. Circulatory, respiratory and pulmonary medicine, 12, 1179548418790564.
  More info

  Cardiac hemodynamic assessment during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is proposed to play an important role in the clinical evaluation of individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF). Cardiac catheterization is not practical for routine clinical CPET. Use of oxygen pulse (Opulse) as a noninvasive estimate of stroke volume (SV) has not been validated in CF. This study tested the hypothesis that peak exercise Opulse is a valid estimate of SV in CF. Measurements of SV via the acetylene rebreathe technique were acquired at baseline and peak exercise in 17 mild-to-moderate severity adult CF and 25 age-matched healthy adults. We calculated . Baseline relationships between SV and Opulse were significant in CF ( = .80) and controls ( = .40), persisting to peak exercise in CF ( = .63) and controls ( = .73). The standard error of estimate for Opulse-predicted SV with respect to measured SV was similar at baseline (14.1 vs 20.1 mL) and peak exercise (18.2 vs 13.9 mL) for CF and controls, respectively. These data suggest that peak exercise Opulse is a valid estimate of SV in CF. The ability to noninvasively estimate SV via Opulse during routine clinical CPET can be used to improve test interpretation and advance our understanding of the impact cardiac dysfunction has on exercise intolerance in CF.

  More info

  When the chronic respiratory therapy dornase alfa was made commercially available for cystic fibrosis (CF) more than 20 years ago, two regimens were approved: 2.5 mg inhaled once daily (QD) or twice daily (BID). In the intervening years, there has been little guidance as to when to use each regimen. We have studied clinical practice patterns captured in the Epidemiologic Study of CF (ESCF) during the decade following dornase alfa approval (1994-2005) to better understand clinical characteristics associated with QD versus BID dornase alfa use. Methods We studied the characteristics of ESCF patients who received either dornase alfa regimen for at least 12 months and who were then switched to the alternate regimen for at least 6 months and who had adequate data available around the time of the switch. Average lung function and weight-for-age (WFA) z-scores, numbers of intravenous (IV) antibiotic-treated pulmonary exacerbations, and prevalence of signs and symptoms were determined for 6-month periods capturing the beginning (FIRST) and the end (LAST) of the initial regimen, the 6 months preceding the final 6 months of the initial regimen (PRIOR), and the beginning of the second regimen (POST). Changes in values from FIRST to LAST, PRIOR to LAST, and LAST to POST were studied to better understand clinical scenarios associated with decisions to change regimens.

  More info

  Alcohol intake has been inconsistently associated with lung function levels in cross-sectional studies. The goal of our study was to determine whether longitudinally assessed light-to-moderate alcohol intake is associated with levels and decline of lung function. We examined data from 1333 adult participants in the population-based Tucson Epidemiological Study of Airway Obstructive Disease. Alcohol intake was assessed with four surveys between 1972 and 1992. Subjects who completed at least two surveys were classified into longitudinal drinking categories ("never", "inconsistent", or "persistent drinker"). Spirometric lung function was measured in up to 11 surveys between 1972 and 1992. Random coefficient models were used to test for differences in lung function by drinking categories. After adjustment for sex, age, height, education, BMI categories, smoking status, and pack-years, as compared to never-drinkers, persistent drinkers had higher FVC (coefficient: 157 mL, p

  More info

  Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) who experience acute declines in percent predicted FEV (ppFEV decreased ≥10% relative to baseline) are often not treated with antibiotics for pulmonary exacerbations (PEx), whereas other patients are treated even when they have not experienced a decline in lung function.

  More info

  Insomnia is common in children, and is associated with decreased school performance and increased psychopathology. Although adult insomnia is linked to worsened health-related quality of life (HRQOL), there is insufficient data evaluating insomnia and HRQOL in children. We examined the HRQOL and health associations of insomnia in a longitudinal cohort of 194 children (96 girls, age at study start 8.7 ± 1.6 years, age at data analysis 15.0 ± 1.8 years) over 7 years. International Classification of Sleep Disorders, second edition (ICSD2) derived insomnia was seen intermittently in 27% of children, and was persistent in 4%. Children reporting ICSD2-derived insomnia had lower HRQOL. Additionally, the presence of insomnia was associated with an increased risk of reporting a new medical condition (intermittent insomnia odds ratio 5.9 [95% CI 1.3-26.7, p = 0.04], persistent insomnia odds ratio 8 [95% CI 2.3-27.7, p = 0.001]). Persistent ICSD2-derived insomnia was associated with an increased risk of reporting a new medication (odds ratio 4.9 (95% CI 1.0-23.6), p = 0.049), and reporting a new psychiatric medication (odds ratio 13.7, 95% CI: 2.6-73.5, p = 0.002). These associations were present even after adjusting for socioeconomic factors and the presence of obstructive sleep apnea. Insomnia in children is associated with worsened HRQOL and health outcomes.

  More info

  Cystic fibrosis (CF) is commonly recognized as a pulmonary disease associated with reduced airway function. Another primary symptom of CF is low exercise capacity where ventilation and gas-exchange are exacerbated. However, an independent link between pathophysiology of the pulmonary system and abnormal ventilatory and gas-exchange responses during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) has not been established in CF. Complicating this understanding, accumulating evidence suggests CF demonstrate abnormal peripheral vascular function; although, the clinical implications are unclear. We hypothesized that compared to controls, relative to total work performed (WorkTOT), CF would demonstrate increased ventilation accompanied by augmented systolic blood pressure (SBP) during CPET.
