Application of contemporary ARIA guidelines in treating allergic rhinitis in children
Cilj
Cilj je ovoga rada prikazati primjenu suvremenih dijagnostiÄkih i terapijskih postupaka u zbrinjavanju alergijskoga rinitisa (AR), prema smjernicama ARIA, a od strane otorinolaringologa i pedijatra u OpÄoj bolnici Vukovar.
Bolesnici i metode
U otorinolaringoloÅ”ku ambulantu bilo je upuÄeno 92 djece od strane pedijatra, pod sumnjom da je rijeÄ o AR, sa simptomima kao Å”to su ovi: nosna opstrukcija, pojaÄana sekrecija, kihanje i svrbež nosa. Pacijenti su dalje bili podvrgnuti sljedeÄim pretragama: SPT, obrisak nosa na eozinofile, ECP, ukupni IgE, specifiÄni IgE, objektivni ORL pregled, ukljuÄujuÄi i endoskopiju nosa. Ove su pretrage uÄinjene prije, i nakon lijeÄenja u trajanju od mjesec dana. Analizirali smo uspjeh lijeÄenja u odnosu na izgled sluznice i stupanj nazoÄnosti simptoma bolesti.
Rezultati
Na samom poÄetku lijeÄenja prosjeÄna vrijednost ukupnih IgE bila je 58,59 KIU/1, ECP 12,6 KIU/1, Å”to je ukazivalo na visoki stupanj prosjeÄne senzibiliziranosti, kao i visok stupanj opÄe alergijske reakcije organizma. Veliki je broj djece bio senzibiliziran na grinje (N=74, 80,34%), sliÄno kao i na ambroziju (N=32, 34,78%) i pelud trava (N=42, 45,67%). Rezultati lijeÄenja pokazali su znaÄajno poboljÅ”anje svih parametara sluznice, kao i smanjenje simptoma.
ZakljuÄak
KoriÅ”tenjem suvremenih dijagnostiÄkih i terapeutskih postupaka i u svijetu prihvaÄenih smjernica ARIA u lijeÄenju AR-a, otorinolaringolozi i pedijatri OpÄe bolnice Vukovar ostvarili su znaÄajne rezultate u smanjenju simptoma te poboljÅ”anju objektivnoga nalaza i kvalitete života vezane uz zdravlje oboljele djece.Idea
The aim of the study was to present the results of contemporary, world-wide accepted diagnostic and therapeutic doctrines in treating AR used by pediatricians and ENT specialists in General Hospital Vukovar, Croatia.
Method
92 children were referred by their pediatricians as AR suspects, with symptoms like nasal obstruction, hypersecretion, sneezing and itching to ENT outpatient unit. These patients were further submitted to the following tests: SPT, Eo nasal mucosal test, total and specific IgE, ECP, ENT exam, nasal endoscopy. These exams were performed both before and after the ARIA-guidelines treatment which had lasted for one month. We analyzed the effectiveness of this treatment regarding the nasal mucosa status and the symptoms.
Results
At the very start of the treatment the average RIST was 58,59, ECP 12,6, proving high average sensibilisation and high allergic activity. A large number of children were sensitive to house dust mite (N=74, 80,34%), as well as to ambrosia (N=32, 34,78%) and to grass pollen (N=42, 45,67%). Results of the therapy have shown the improvement regarding almost all symptoms and objective parameters.
Conclusion
By using modem diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, ENT specialists and pediatricians have obtained a noticeable relief of symptoms as well as the improvement of quality of life in children treated in Vukovar
Water for all : Proceedings of the 7th international scientific and professional conference Water for all
The 7th International Scientific and Professional Conference Water for all is organized to honour the World Water Day by the Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG), Danube Parks, Croatian Food Agency, Croatian Water, Faculty of Food Technology Osijek, Faculty of Agriculture in Osijek, Faculty of Civil Engineering Osijek, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek Department of Biology, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek Department of Chemistry, Nature Park āKopaÄki ritā, Osijek- Baranja County, Public Health Institute of the Osijek- Baranja County and āVodovod-Osijekā -water supply company in Osijek. The topic of World Water Day 2017 was "Wastewater" emphasizing the importance and influence of wastewater treatments on global environment. The international scientific and professional conference Water for all is a gathering of scientists and experts in the field of water management, including chemists, biologists, civil and agriculture engineers, with a goal to remind people about the significance of fresh water and to promote an interdisciplinary approach and sustainability for fresh water resource management. The Conference has been held since 2011. About 300 scientists and engineers submitted 95 abstracts to the 7th International Scientific and Professional Conference Water for all, out of which 33 was presented orally and 62 as posters. 47 full papers were accepted by the Scientific Committee. 38 full papers became the part of the this Proceedings while 9 papers were accepted for publication in Croatian Journal of Food Science and Technology and Electronic Journal of the Faculty of Civil Engineering Osijek - e-GFOS
