Bronchiolitis is the inflammation of the bronchioles in the lungs, which commonly affects children under 2 years of age. A group of researchers from the University of Oxford and University of Leeds in the United Kingdom analyzed data from the past 50 years about hospital admissions due to bronchiolitis. Because of the freezing weather in the United Kingdom, the winter season is when hospital admission for bronchiolitis is seen at higher rates. Thus, at this time of year, the pediatric centers of
respiratory tract infection (ARTI) that exclusively affects the lung or Pneumonia is one of the serious illnesses, which involves lung infection specifically alveoli.. While it attacks every person, children under the age of five years are particularly prone to pneumonia. A range of both bacterial and viral pathogens have been recognized to cause pneumonia in children with streptococcus pneumonia accountable for the vast majority of cases (1). Nearly 40,000 to 70,000 people die each year in United State

One of the most common basic personal hygiene steps missed or neglected in the nursing home is oral care. One study shows that self-reported oral hygiene habits of residents were poor, with less than one-third of residents cleaning their teeth twice daily or more.

ANATOMY OF THORASIC WALL The thorax is the upper part of the trunk, which consists of: a) External musculoskeletal cage (The thorasic wall) ; and b) Internal cavity (That contains heart, lungs, oesophagus, trachea, thymus etc.) Surface Anatomy of Thorasic Wall There are several landmarks and imaginary line to facilitate anatomical descriptions, identification of parts/ areas and to describe lesions and perform dissection. Some of the important landmarks relevant forensic pathologist/ expert are
for a range of adverse health effects like chest & cardiac diseases; decreased lung functions, the effect on nervous system cancer; Premature deaths; reproductive complications and skin conditions. According to World Bank (2006, 2008a) there were 5 million childhood illnesses with 22,600 deaths, 80,000 hospital admissions annually attributable to ambient air pollution in Pakistan. Amongst children under five years of age,
thought of as a study of modern cases. In some instances, however, the techniques used by forensic anthropologists can be applied to much older cases, such as the case of a young child from the Late Neolithic era in Sweden. In the case by Anne Carlie, Caroline Arcini, Henrik Druid, and Jan Risberg, remains found in a well were analyzed to determine cause and manner of death. The site is located in Malmo, Sweden; with the excavation taking place in 2010. The primary focus of the study was on wells in
INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background:- Acute respiratory infection are infection in any area of the respiratory tract, including nose ,middle ear, throat(Larynx), wind pipe (trachea), air- passages( bronchi or bronchioles) and lungs with the duration less than one month. Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) is considered to be one of the major killers of children worldwide, particularly in developing countries. About four million deaths are caused by ARI worldwide and in South East Asia alone, every year
According to the CDC (2010), asthma is a chronic disease of the lung that affects the airways, making them inflamed, breathing difficult (p. 1), and many Americans seem to feel the effects of asthma. Attacks can be mild, moderate, or serious and in some cases can cause death. As stated in the report “National Surveillance of Asthma: United States, 2001-2010”, 25.7 million Americans were shown to have asthma with 7 million of them being children ages 0 to 17 and a prevalence rate of 9.3% among the population
Anaphylactic shock due to multiple wasp sting - Case report Introduction- There are over 50 reported deaths per year due to insect stings in the U.S. The most common stinging insects are bees and wasps. Reactions to wasp stings are more common than those to bees. Sensitization to wasp venom can occur after a single sting. http://allergycases.blogspot.in/2005/06/venom-allergy-short-review.html Parasitic wasps are increasingly used in agricultural pest control as they prey mostly on pest insects
warm and moist air, by means of steam inhalation, into the lungs through the nose and the throat allows clearance across the vocal tract and thereby ensures relief from congestion and oedema. This study aimed at assessing the benefit of vapour based hydration on acoustic measures of voice, with an objective to see the immediate effect post steam inhalation.
