BACKGROUND Diffuse panbronchiolitis(DPB)is a rare,chronic inflammatory lung disease mar-ked by chronic cough,breathlessness,and preceding sinusitis.Symptoms often persist for years and can be misdiagnosed as asthma,pa...
Rhinovirus(RV)are best known as a common cold virus,but infections with these viruses are also major causes of lower respiratory morbidity in younger children and in children and adults with asthma.Cofactors related t...
The dosing of anti-Parkinson drugs is considered as the optimal control of the symptoms of PD,and increasing the dose of drugs is a common method to treat the aggravate state of PD.However,this is a case of PD elderly...
Background: Wheezing is common in early childhood and remains an important health concern. The aim of this study was to assess the lung function of wheezing infants and to investigate the relationship between lung fu...
In order to eliminate the subjectivity of wheeze diagnosis and improve the accuracy of objective detecting methods,this paper introduces a wheeze detecting method based on spectrogram entropy analysis.This algorithm m...

The prevalence of childhood asthma has increased rapidly in China[1].In Shanghai,the prevalence has increased from 2.1%in 1990 to 10.2%in 2011 in 3-to 7-year-old children[2].Various environmental and lifestyle factors...
Background: Items from respiratory questionnaires validated in older children are often used in research studies of preterm infants, although they have not been validated in this population. We aimed to assess both te...
In this paper, the finite differenee schemes for the linear and nonlinear models of wheezes are given. The waveform of wheczes is analysed. It is shown that the numerical results of the lincar model of wheezes and Gro...
