RhoC Eventually Got You Straight Down? We Have The Solution

The objectives of this study were to assess the prevalence/impact of SHS on preterm infants and children with BPD. Subjects (n?=?352) were recruited from the Johns Hopkins BPD outpatient clinic between January 2008 and August 2012. Second hand smoke exposure and respiratory morbidities were assessed through questionnaires and chart review. Twenty-eight percent of preterm infants with BPD were exposed to SHS in the home setting, despite having significant lung disease. SHS was associated RhoC with multiple measures of socio-economic status, including lower household income (P?INCB024360 nmr of supplemental oxygen use were noted. Further work is needed to determine more accurate means of assessing SHS risk in this vulnerable population. GSK1210151A datasheet Pediatr Pulmonol. 2014; 49:173�C178. ? 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. ""To determine the utility of overnight polysomnography (PSG) in assessing pulmonary reserve in stable preterm children with chronic lung disease (CLD). A retrospective review and descriptive study of overnight PSGs and clinic visits of preterm infants/children less than 3 years of age who were diagnosed with bronchopulmonary dysplasia at discharge from the hospital and enrolled in the Johns Hopkins CLD patient registry between 2008 and 2010. Sixty-two clinically stable patients underwent at least one overnight polysomnogram for clinical indications. The majority of patients were referred for oxygen titration (71%). PSGs from first studies revealed a mean respiratory disturbance index (RDI) of 8.2?��?10.1 events/hr and a mean O2 saturation (SaO2) nadir of 86.2?��?5.7%. In patients who underwent more than one PSG (n?=?23), a significant decrease in RDI (P?
