Upper airway obstruction.

The airways in infants and children are anatomically different from adults, thus predisposing them to more acute upper airway obstruction. The causes of upper airway obstruction may be infective or non-infective. The presence of dysphonia, dysphagia, abnormal respiratory pattern, cough and abnormal posture suggests upper airway obstruction. The general management consist of supportive care with minimal invasive procedures. The specific treatment depends on the causes and is discussed in text.

Chronic smoking in an animal model. Effects on clotting and fibrinolysis.

The effects of chronic smoking upon fibrinogen turnover and other clotting parameters, were studied prospectively in an animal model maintained on a chronic program for a period of 18 months. The animal received the equivalent on a weight basis of 11/2 packs of cigarettes daily, smoked by a human subject with the weight of 70 kg. The obtained results suggested significant enhancement of the coagulation mechanism in the smoking animals developing over the period of observation particularly when combined with high lipid diet.
