Journal ArticleDOI

Palivizumab prophylaxis of respiratory syncytial virus disease in 2000-2001: results from The Palivizumab Outcomes Registry.

TL;DR: Data support the continued effectiveness of palivizumab prophylaxis for severe RSV lower respiratory tract disease in a large cohort of high‐risk infants from geographically diverse pediatric offices and clinics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Active intestinal chloride secretion in human carriers of cystic fibrosis mutations: an evaluation of the hypothesis that heterozygotes have subnormal active intestinal chloride secretion.

TL;DR: The authors used an intestinal perfusion technique to measure in vivo basal and prostaglandin-stimulated jejunal chloride secretion in normal subjects, CF heterozygotes, and patients with CF, and the results do not support the theory that the very high frequency of CF mutations is due to a survival advantage that is conferred on heterozygote who contract diarrheal illnesses mediated by intestinal hypersecretion of chloride.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus Produces Prolonged Alterations of Neural Control in Airways of Developing Ferrets

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that HRSV produces prolonged alterations of TSM function in ferret airways in vitro, and NANCi responses were significantly decreased in 8-wk-old ferrets previously infected with H RSV in the first week of life.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of aspiration of milk on mechanisms of neural control in the airways of developing rabbits

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that repeated aspiration of milk leads to abnormal mechanisms of neural control within airways of developing rabbits, and injury to an airway early in development does not necessarily resolve with time but may persist, with functional abnormalities becoming more pronounced even after the airway insult has ceased.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimated Prevalence of Asthma in US Children With Developmental Disabilities.

TL;DR: This cross-sectional study estimates rates of prevalence of asthma among a diverse sample of US children and adolescents with developmental delay and/or disability.
