An 11-week crossover study was carried out in which 12 subjects smoked high-nicotine (1·84 mg standard yield) and low-nicotine (0·6 mg) cigarettes after an initial period of smoking their usual brands with a medium-nicotine yield (mean 1·4 mg). Plasma urine nicotine concentrations, carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb) concentration, puffing behaviour, 24-hour cigarette consumption, butt content were measured. The changes plasma blood COHb concentrations showed that the smokers compensated for about...

OBJECTIVE We report the preliminary results of a phase I trial using indole‐3‐carbinol for treatment recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. Indole‐3‐carbinol is chemical that found in high concentrations cruciferous vegetables and has been shown to alter growth pattern papillomatosis cell cultures be effective an vivo animal model METHODS Eighteen patients were treated with oral had minimum follow‐up 8 months mean 14.6 months. All received indole‐3‐carbinol, outcome measures included change...
Pythiosis occurs in animals and humans who encounter aquatic habitats that harbor Pythium insidiosum. Drug therapy for deeply invasive infections with this organism has been ineffective animals; patients have cured only by radical surgical debridement. A 2-year-old boy developed periorbital cellulitis unresponsive to antibiotic antifungal therapy. The extended the nasopharynx, compromising airway necessitating a gastrostomy feeding. P. insidiosum was isolated from biopsy specimens of...
The charts of 100 children with laryngeal paralysis were reviewed. patients in this study had either unilateral or bilateral abductor vocal cord paralysis. literature and pathophysiology are A statistical analysis each group according to etiology is reported. follow-up, progress recovery detailed. need for observation conservative therapy reinforced by the tendency spontaneous recovery.

Abstract Inverting papilloma of the nose and paranasal sinuses can sometimes be very difficult to distinguish from other nasal tumors, confusion ranges allergic polyposis carcinoma. They are also certainly characterized by multiple recurrence, particularly after limited operations. The experience with 34 cases seen at UCLA over past two decades is analyzed a philosophy treatment outlined. We favor wide local excision which generally necessitates lateral rhinotomy medial maxillectomy....
Two continuous distributions, G, H so related that any two quantiles of are more widely separated than the corresponding G may be said to ‘ordered in dispersion'; Saunders and Moran have given examples. It is shown here distributions F (called ‘dispersive' distributions) exist, e.g. exponential, such if ordered dispersion then also convolutions ∗ ∗H. The class dispersive determined, coincide with strongly unimodal distributions.
Abstract The charts of 65 pediatric patients with the diagnosis retropharyngeal abscess were reviewed. These represented a 36‐year experience disease. findings compared those documented at turn century and also over last four decades. data suggests that may be occurring later in childhood not always preceded by major detectable infection. Classic diagnostic bulge neck stiffness present less than half patients. Gram‐negative anaerobic organisms are being on culture more frequently past. We...
To study intracranial extension of pediatric sinusitis, an infrequent but potentially fatal complication.Ten-year retrospective review at a tertiary children's hospital identified 21 cases complications sinusitis.Thirteen males and eight females with mean age 13.3 years were identified. Overall 18 (81%) exhibited abscess formation, most commonly epidural. Only 3 (14%) had meningitis alone. All 4 patients managed surgically, requiring craniotomy in 13 (61.9%) endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) 10...
