There is little information concerning asthma severity and sensitization to Ascaris lumbricoides in pediatric patients. ⋯ Sensitization to Ascaris lumbricoides is associated with increased severity of asthma among Romanian children. This association is mediated by a high degree of atopy among the asthma children sensitized to Ascaris lumbricoides and belonging to a population with a low prevalence of helminthiasis.

Cerebral-vascular events represent a major cause of mortality worldwide. Resulting respiratory complications are common and possibly composing a marker of severe neurological disorder. Cheyne-Stokes respiration is a disorder characterised by recurrent central apnoeas during sleep, alternating with a crescendo-decrescendo pattern of tidal volume, thus constituting an additional burden to the patient. In this paper the authors review the physio-pathological background, clinical presence and latest therapy-related data on Cheyne Stokes respiration in stroke patients.

Comparative StudyFibrosis assessment in chronic hepatitis C--is the liver biopsy still necessary? The pathologist point of view.
The aim of this study was to compare the histological stage of fibrosis determined by liver biopsy with the stage of fibrosis assessed by Fibroscan, to analyze the correspondences and inconsistencies between obtained values and to discuss the role of the microscopic exam, from the pathologist point of view. ⋯ Our data concurs with the literature, which confirms presence of differences between Fibroscan and biopsy. From the point of view of the pathologist, liver biopsy still remains a valuable instrument, offering a relevant image of liver changes--as it is regarded more rather a selective than routine technique.
