To investigate the changes in the expression levels of peripheral blood immunoregulatory T lymphocytes in children with bronchial asthma accompanied by recurrent infection. ⋯ Bronchial asthma with recurrent infection may have a close bearing on the expression level of peripheral blood immunoregulatory T lymphocytes, and indirect examination of peripheral blood T lymphocyte level in children can be used clinically to determine the incidence of the disease, which is of high clinical application value.
-
To compare the efficacy of Ondansetron versus Domperidone for treating vomiting in acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in children at a resource limited emergency setting of South Punjab, Pakistan. ⋯ In comparison to Domperidone, Ondansetron was found to have better efficacy aiming cessation of AGE associated vomiting among children with mild to moderate dehydration.

The study aimed at isolation of CD117+ stem cells from amniotic fluid samples followed by their invitro differentiation towards nephron progenitors that can be potentially used for regenerative medicine studies and to further understand pathways involved in renal pathogenesis. ⋯ To the best of our knowledge this is the first study from the country on the use of Amniotic fluid stem cells and their differentiation towards nephron progenitors that can be used as substitution source of cell therapy for exploration of renal diseases at cellular and molecular level and potential regenerative medicine applications.

To analyze the diagnostic characteristics and clinical related factors of patients with atelectasis by painless electronic bronchoscopy. ⋯ Painless electronic bronchoscopy is of great value in the clinical diagnosis of patients with atelectasis, and it is likely to further clarify the etiology of atelectasis. Age, sex, and quantity of smoking may be clinical factors associated with atelectasis.
