Sinusitis is a common disease in childhood and puberty with significant morbidity and the potential for serious complications. There are two types of acute sinusitis: viral and bacterial. Viral sinusitis develops during a cold. Some children with certain predisposing diseases may develop forms of chronic sinusitis, which is usually not of infectious origin. Children and adolescents may have nonspecific symptoms: fever, nasal congestion, nasal secretion. Less common difficulties include bad breath, reduction sense of smell, and periorbital edema. Headaches and facial pain are rare in children. The most common symptoms are headache, tenderness in the facial area and a stuffy nose.

Neuropeptides are present within the nasal cavity and are thought to mediate inflammation in this region. The exact role these peptides might play in causing the inflammation present in chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyposis is not known. Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) was measured in the nasal secretion and nasal mucosa of 10 patients having chronic rhinosinusitis and 10 patients with nasal polyposis, using radioimmunoassay. These values were compared to ten controls without sinonasal disease. Additionally, each subject's history and baseline laboratory data were analyzed to establish the presence or absence of allergic disease. The results of these assays are discussed, as well as the potential pathophysiologic role that neuropeptides play in these disease states.

The aim of investigation: to ground the use of a new combined mud medication «Tone plus» in pulmonologic practice. The investigation has been made on 53 patients with chronic bronchitis (CB) and bronchial asthma (BA). Inhalations with «Tone plus» consisting of three components — saline carrier, herb and peloids extracts — have been the main medication. Efficiency of the therapy has been assessed grounding on the movement of local respiratory tract protection indices by the method of examination of nasal tunica mucosa smear and nasal secretion, on the airway conductance by spirograph, inflammation activity by blood clinico-biochemical analysis and on organism adaptation system state by L.A. Garkavy’s method. In atmiatrics there has been registered local and system anti-inflammatory effect, airway conductance improvement and improvement of upper airway cover epithelium state, increase of functional activity of respiratory tract tunica micosa cells. Inhalations of a new combined mud medication «Tone plus» are a promising method of non-pharmacotherapeutic atmiatrics of patients with CB and BA.

A white boy six months of age was hospitalized with respiratory distress and congestive heart failure. Control of the heart failure was achieved but marked cardiomegaly, moderate hepatomegaly, and minimal muscular weakness persisted.At birth a chest x-ray had been taken because of rapid breathing and jaundice and showed the heart to be of normal size. Clinical studies included: EKG which showed biventricular hypertrophy, needle liver biopsy which showed toxic hepatitis, and cardiac catheterization which showed no obstruction to left ventricular outflow. Liver and muscle biopsies revealed no biochemical or histological evidence of type II glycogexiosis (Pompe's disease). At thoracotomy, 14 milligrams of left ventricular muscle were removed. Total phosphorylase activity in the biopsy specimen was normal by biochemical analysis as was the degree of phosphorylase activation. By light microscopy, vacuoles and fine granules were seen in practically all myocardial fibers. The fibers were not hypertrophic. The endocardium was not thickened excluding endocardial fibroelastosis. Based on these findings, the diagnosis of idiopathic non-obstructive cardiomyopathy was made.

3H-galactose (gal) and 3H-glucose (glu) were compared to determine which compound was preferable for pulse labeling newly formed hepatic glycogen. Control fed rats were used to achieve substantial and consistent levels of hepatic glycogen and to stimulate glycogen synthesis.Rats fed once daily for 4 hr achieved hepatic glycogen levels > 3% wet weight liver prior to injection by tail vein of a tracer dose of 3H-gal or 3H-glu. The rats were sacrificed 15-120 min later and liver was prepared by routine techniques for light (LM) and electron microscopic (EM) radioautography (RAG) and biochemical analysis.

Background & Method: The study was conducted in the Department of Medicine Shyam Shah Medical College and Associated Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Rewa (M.P). History was followed by a careful clinical examination i.e. cardiovascular, respiratory and gastrointestinal and nervous system. Investigations had done included routine haematological examination, Biochemical analysis, urine examination, ECG, 2 D. Echo & Histopathological examination was done. Result: ST-T changes were most common finding in Aluminium phosphide poisoning in relation to mortality. However hyperkalemia was the most ominous finding associated with 100% mortality, ECG finding in EDB was normal ECG. The most ominous finding was arrhythmia which was associated with 100% mortality. Survivors of ethylene dibromide poisoning echocardiography was normal in 11 (84.61%) followed by pericardial effusion in 2 (15.38%) patients. Conclusion: Noteworthy finding was absence of correlation between cardiovascular involvement, histopathological changes and ECG findings. It was seen that even if ECG showed normal pattern there were significant histopathological changes in heart. Keywords: electro-cardiographic, Aluminium phosphide, ethylene dibromide & poisoning.
