Abstract

The current Covid-19 pandemic poses an unprecedented global challenge in the field of education and training. As we have seen, the lack of proper information about the virus and its transmission has forced the general population and healthcare workers to rapidly acquire knowledge and learn new practices. Clearly, a well-informed population is more likely to adopt the correct precautionary measures, thus reducing the transmission of the infection; likewise, properly educated healthcare workers are better equipped to manage the emergency. However, the need to maintain physical distancing has made it impossible to provide in-presence information and training. In this regard, new technologies have proved to be an invaluable resource by facilitating distance learning. Indeed, e-learning offers significant advantages because it does not require the physical presence of learners and teachers. This innovative method applied to serious games has been considered potentially effective in enabling rapid and large-scale dissemination of information and learning through content interactivity. We will review studies that have observed the development and use of serious games to foster information and practices about Covid-19 aimed at promoting behavioral changes in the population and the healthcare personnel involved on the front line.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has surprised the entire population. The world has had to face an unprecedented pandemic. Only, Spanish flu had similar disastrous consequences. As a result, drastic measures (lockdown) have been adopted worldwide. Healthcare service has been overwhelmed by the extraordinary influx of patients, often requiring high intensity of care. Mortality has been associated with severe comorbidities, including chronic diseases. Patients with frailty were, therefore, the victim of the SARS-COV-2 infection. Allergy and asthma are the most prevalent chronic disorders in children and adolescents, so they need careful attention and, if necessary, an adaptation of their regular treatment plans. Fortunately, at present, young people are less suffering from COVID-19, both as incidence and severity. However, any age, including infancy, could be affected by the pandemic.Based on this background, the Italian Society of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology has felt it necessary to provide a Consensus Statement. This expert panel consensus document offers a rationale to help guide decision-making in the management of children and adolescents with allergic or immunologic diseases.

Abstract

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a global health problem: its prevalence is 23% in Europe, although it is underestimated because as many as 45% of the cases remain undiagnosed. Globally, almost 500 million people suffer from AR, which shows its increasing incidences. The diagnostic course of AR is based on clinical history, supported by anterior rhinoscopy. This inspects the anterior part of the nasal cavity accompanied by allergic sensitivity tests (cutaneous allergic skin tests or specific immunoglobulin E levels). The availability of standardised diagnostic procedures is able to provide objective evaluations of inflammatory situation, and the degree of nasal obstruction may give an advantage in reducing the risk of underestimating the diagnosis of AR. Diagnostic tests with a high level of accuracy are able to provide immediate results, which can sustain the doctor in diagnostic-therapeutic framework. The development of Point of Care Tests (POCTs) could be a useful tool. Considering that nasal obstruction is the most common symptom in patients with AR, the rhinomanometry (RM) test is the most indicated objective evaluation for nasal obstruction. Several studies have also shown the practicability of such diagnostic techniques applied in children. So far, no study has evaluated whether all the applicable requirements are fulfilled by RM in order to be considered as a POCT. The purpose of this perspective was to assess whether all the POCT requirements are fulfilled by RM by conducting a narrative review of the existing literature in which RM has been used in the diagnosis and management of AR in children. A few but encouraging results of studies on children supported the potential use of RM in the area of POCT. However, costs of instruments and the training of personnel involved remain to be explored. The studies support the potential use of RM in POCTs.

Abstract

Introduction: Unbalanced dietary intake has been increasingly recognized as an important modifiable risk factor for asthma. In this study, we assessed whether a pro‐inflammatory diet is associated with higher asthma burden in three steps: (1) identification of asthma latent classes (LC) based on symptoms, indoor exposures, and pulmonary function; (2) identification of risk factors associated with LC membership; and (3) estimation of the probabilities of LC membership with variation in DII. Methods: A cross‐sectional study on 415 children aged 5–14 years (266 with persistent asthma and 149 controls). LC analysis was performed in asthmatic children. The DII was calculated based on a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire. Elastic net logistic regression was used to investigate whether increasing DII was associated with worse asthma burden. Results: Two LCs were identified. Children in Class 1, "high burden," had higher symptom burden and worse lung function. Children in Class 2, "low burden," had lower symptom burden and less impaired lung function but were more subject to indoor exposures. DII was the only risk factor significantly associated with Class 1 membership. As the DII increased (from −4.0 to +4.0), the probability of Class 1 membership increased from 32% to 65% when compared with control group, whereas it increased from 41% to 72% when compared with Class 2. Conclusions: We identified two phenotypes of persistent asthma associated with different disease burden linked to indoor exposures. An increasing DII was associated with high‐burden asthma, providing further evidence about the role of a pro‐inflammatory diet in asthma morbidity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: High atopy prevalence has been reported in athletes. Having an age‐specific questionnaire for predicting atopy is important for an optimal management of young athletes. The study objectives were as follows: (i) developing a scoring system for the Pediatric Allergy Questionnaire for Athletes (AQUAped); (ii) identifying the optimal age target within the range 7‐14 years; (iii) assessing AQUAped validity and repeatability in the identified target population. Methods: A total of 133 young athletes (age 7‐14 years) were recruited. Following a screening visit, the participants filled AQUAped at baseline (T0) and after 7 days (T1), concomitantly undergoing skin prick testing. Using atopy as the gold standard (positivity to ≥1 aeroallergen), the 12 core items were scored based on their likelihood ratios, and a total score was calculated. The optimal cut‐off was identified based on the Youden's criterion. The repeatability of AQUAped was assessed through the intra‐cluster correlation coefficient (ICC). The optimal age target was identified as the largest age range associated with an acceptable cross‐validated area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC ≥ 0.70) and an excellent ICC (≥0.75). Results: Forty (30%) children were atopic; the optimal age target was 10‐14 years (cross‐validated AUC = 0.70, ICC = 0.81). AQUAped total score ranged from −26 to 75, and only 5% of non‐atopic children had AQUAped ≥ 24. AQUAped ≥ 2 had 82% specificity, 60% sensitivity, and 74% overall accuracy. Conclusion: Developing and testing a scoring system for AQUAped showed that it is a valid and reliable tool for the screening of atopy in young athletes aged 10‐14 years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
