Importance Upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) are prevalent in children, prompting frequent health care consultations, especially among those with fever. Probiotics show potential as an adjuvant treatment for URTIs, but evidence in children is limited.Objective To evaluate the efficacy of a probiotic mixture containing Bifidobacterium breve M-16V, Bifidobacterium lactis HN019, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 in… Continue reading #Probiotics and #Fever Duration in Children With Upper Respiratory Tract Infections

Fever integrates antimicrobial defences, inflammation control, and tissue repair in a cold-blooded vertebrate
Multiple lines of evidence support the value of moderate fever to host survival, but the mechanisms involved remain unclear. This is difficult to establish in warm-blooded animal models, given the strict programmes controlling core body temperature and the physiological stress that results from their disruption. Thus, we took advantage of a cold-blooded teleost fish that… Continue reading Fever integrates antimicrobial defences, inflammation control, and tissue repair in a cold-blooded vertebrate
