cause (Bordetella pertussis) of persistent cough in adolescents and adults also extends to school age children. They also confirmed that key symptoms such as paroxysmal coughing, whooping, posttussive vomiting, apnoea and sputum production are more likely to be associated with positive B. pertussis ...
We use data from rounds 3–5 of the REACT-2 study (508,707; September 2020 – February 2021), a representative community survey of adults in England, and replication data from round 6 (97,717; May 2021) to estimate the prevalence and identify predictors of persistent symptoms lasting 12 ...
Persistent or chronic cough is defined as such when it last for more than 8 weeks. It is the most common respiratory symptom in children. There are several causes of chronic cough as a consequence of the interaction of different mechanisms, so an integrated approach is important for differential...
in patients with COVID-19. It was worth noting that the residual somatic symptom burden and sleep disturbance persisted throughout the 1-month self-quarantine period. These results suggest that early close follow-up should be initiated and treatment of symptoms should be recommended to lessen the...
Cold, dry conditionsmay cause dryness and irritation of the airways. This will often result in an acutedry cough. The cough usually resolves as a person becomes acclimatized to these conditions. Air pollutionis another common cause of apersistent dry coughand is usually associated with smog and...

In winter, children with mold allergy may develop persistent cold-like symptoms (PCLS) that often defy conventional therapy. To investigate the cause of PCLS, we enrolled 44 children (25 with PCLS and 19 controls) in a 2-year study to compare their clinical symptoms and the mold count in...
Introduction:Higher physical activity (PA) and lower sedentary behaviour (SB) levels have demonstrated beneficial effects on temporal summation (TS) and conditioned pain modulation (CPM) in healthy adults. This cross-sectional study investigated the relationships between PA and SB and TS/CPM responses...
It is not entirely clear why mutations in the same DNA repair pathway, and even in the same gene, cause the different symptoms associated with each different disorder, which range in severity from mild to very severe (with mortality at young age). It is thought that symptoms affecting ...
