Home management of the child with viral croup (laryngotracheobronchitis).
Laryngotracheobronchitis (LTB), also known as "croup," is a perennial viral infection that commonly affects young children in the cold season of the year. Croup, with its distinguishable symptoms of "barking seal cough," inspiratory stridor, and late-night occurrence, can be frightening for child and parents but can be managed effectively at home. This article outlines the nurse practitioner's (NP) instructions for LTB home management, triage of symptoms, and anticipatory guidance regarding course of the illness. Guidelines for assessment of the parent's self-care abilities and referral criteria are also given. The differential diagnosis of epiglottitis is reviewed and the need for immediate referral is emphasized.

Sanguinaria-related leukoplakia: epidemiologic and clinicopathologic features of a recently described entity.
An association between the use of Viadent toothpaste and/or mouthwash and the development of leukoplakia oral mucosal lesions has been described recently. Discontinuing the Viadent products may result in resolution of the leukoplakia, although frequently this is not the case. In order to corroborate the earlier study and to provide further insight regarding the clinical features of this process, a case-control study was conducted. A significant association was seen between the use of Viadent products and the development of oral leukoplakia. Furthermore, leukoplakias affecting sites other than the buccal vestibule also were associated with the use of these products.
