Example Sentences:
(1) Children of smoking mothers had an 18.0 per cent cumulative incidence of post-infancy wheezing through 10 years of age, compared with 16.2 per cent among children of nonsmoking mothers (risk ratio 1.11, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.21).
(2) The differential diagnosis of infantile wheezing is of particular importance in this very young age group.
(3) When the combination of symptoms were introduced into the regression model, the effect of wheezing became insignificant.
(4) The attacks were detected by audible wheeze, augmentation of diaphragm, external intercostal and sternomastoid activity, associated with distinctive changes in thoracoabdominal motion.
(5) However, sedation is generally not recommended for infants with acute wheezing illnesses.
(6) Promotion of breast feeding and reduction of maternal smoking might reduce childhood wheezing.
(7) In children, manifestations of IgE-mediated food allergy (often in association with other immune mechanisms) include self-limiting and immediate reactions (e.g., urticaria, wheeze) and chronic diseases (food-sensitive enteropathies, eczema).
(8) From the response to the ATS-DLD-78-C respiratory symptoms questionnaire, 14 subjects (3.1%) were found to have asthma syndrome (recurrent episodes of attacks of shortness of breath with wheezing) and 17 subjects (3.7%), wheezing syndrome (only wheezing).
(9) Between 1981 and 1990 there was a 10.7% increase in the number of children who had been to their general practitioner for wheeze (p less than 0.001), a 5.3% increase in children who were on daily medication (p less than 0.001) and a 8.2% increase in the family history of asthma (p less than 0.001).
(10) The joint effect of smoking and phlegm as well as that of smoking and wheezing was close to being multiplicative.
(11) Increasing values for the sum of scores for the seven RAST tests were associated with progressively lower mean levels of small airways function in boys with histories of recurrent wheezing LRI during the preschool years.

(14) Wheezes were detected in running spectra of lung sounds by use of a frequency domain peak detection algorithm.
(15) One-third of the infants with neuroblastoma presented with paraplegia and one-third with respiratory symptoms including wheeze, stridor and respiratory difficulty.
(16) All wheezing visits to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Emergency Department were analyzed for 1982 and 1983, for ages two to 18.
(17) It is suggested that the stable acoustic properties obtained by this preparation may become useful in the analysis of mechanisms of wheezing lung sounds generation.
(18) Two of the four seronegative children developed a mild illness characterized by rhinorrhea and wheezing on auscultation; none had fever.
(19) Nevertheless the evidence for viral trigger of wheezing and long-term pulmonary sequelae must be considered and prevention must be undertaken at the first episode.
(20) Slight wheezing was noted 8 months before the monkey died.
