Yliherva A, Olsén P, Suvanto A, et al., 2000, Language abilities of 8-year-old preterm children among the northern Finland 1-year birth cohort for 1985-1986., Logoped Phoniatr Vocol, Vol: 25, Pages: 98-104, ISSN: 1401-5439
The language abilities of 42 8-year-old preterm children with birth weight < 1,750 g from a 1-year birth cohort in northern Finland was studied with four different language tests. Control children from the same birth cohort matched individually with their preterm pairs for age, sex, twinship, mother's education, place of residence, birth order and family type were also studied. In psycholinguistic test, auditory skills did not differ between the preterm and the full-term groups. Nor did any other linguistic subtest differentiate between the groups. Instead, the preterm children scored significantly poorer than their controls in visual subtests. The study also showed that the poor performance in visual tests was associated with neonatal morbidity, namely neonatal infections, need for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). When studying the language abilities of preterm children, we suggest that qualitative methods should be used to analyse linguistic skills. We recommend versatile follow-up of preterm children until school age.

Koppelman GH, Meijer GG, Postma DS, 1999, Defining asthma in genetic studies., Pages: 1-4, ISSN: 0954-7894
Genetic studies have been hampered by the lack of a gold standard to diagnose asthma. The complex nature of asthma makes it more difficult to identify asthma genes. Therefore, approaches to define phenotypes, which have been successful in other genetically complex diseases, may be applied to define asthma in genetic studies. These approaches include narrowing of the disease definition and use of intermediate phenotypes of asthma. Future studies are required to apply these approaches in genetic studies of asthma and, most likely, this will facilitate the search for genes for asthma.

Los H, Koppelman GH, Postma DS, 1999, The importance of genetic influences in asthma., Eur Respir J, Vol: 14, Pages: 1210-1227, ISSN: 0903-1936
Asthma is a complex genetic disorder in which the mode of inheritance is not known. Many segregation studies suggest that a major gene could be involved in asthma, but until now different genetic models have been obtained. Twin studies, too, have shown evidence for genetic influences in asthma, but have also revealed substantial evidence for environmental influences, in which nonshared environmental influences appeared to be important. Linkage, association studies and genome-wide screening suggest that multiple genes are involved in the pathogenesis of asthma. At least four regions of the human genome, chromosomes 5q31-33, 6p21.3, 11q13 and 12q14.3-24.1, contain genes consistently found to be associated with asthma and associated phenotypes. Not only genes associated with asthma but also genes which are involved in the development and outcome of asthma will be found in the future. This will probably provide greater insight into the identification of individuals at risk of asthma and early prevention and greater understanding for guiding therapeutic intervention in asthma. Exchange of information between researchers involved in the genetics of asthma is important because of mandatory agreement on phenotypes and analytical approaches. Genetics will contribute to the a better understanding and management of asthma in the future.

Howard TD, Wiesch DG, Koppelman GH, et al., 1999, Genetics of allergy and bronchial hyperresponsiveness., Pages: 86-89, ISSN: 0954-7894
Allergy and asthma are closely related complex diseases caused by a combination of both genetic and environmental influences. Two common genetic approaches, candidate gene studies and genome-wide screens, have been used to localize and evaluate potential genetic factors that confer susceptibility or modify the phenotype of these diseases. Four genome screens suggest multiple chromosomal locations likely to contain asthma and allergy genes and many potential candidate genes exist in these regions. These screens were performed in six different populations and identified many common susceptibility regions as well as novel regions for each population. Ideally, these genes may point towards key biological pathways that will eventually serve as targets for therapeutic agents.

Taanila A, Järvelin MR, Kokkonen J, 1998, Parental guidance and counselling by doctors and nursing staff: parents' views of initial information and advice for families with disabled children., J Clin Nurs, Vol: 7, Pages: 505-511, ISSN: 0962-1067
This paper describes changes that have taken place, over a period of 10 years, in the way physicians and nursing staff in Finland give initial information and advice to the parents about their child's disability. It also discusses the association between quality of information given and parents' feelings of insecurity or helplessness. In the study, we compared the experiences of parents of older (aged 12-17) disabled children with those of parents with younger (aged 7-9 years) disabled children. There were 85 children, whose disabilities were either learning or physical, or, in a few cases, both. Parents completed a questionnaire and were interviewed by a social worker. According to these reports, the initial information and advice received by the parents with younger children about their child's disability and its treatment, and on coping with the child at home, was better than that received by the parents of the older children. The parents of the younger children also reported feeling better prepared to take care of their child. Those parents who reported having received little information and practical advice on coping with their child at home experienced feelings of insecurity and helplessness five times as often as those who were satisfied with the information and advice.
