"Sir it's better you consult a cardiologist as there are alternatives to aspirin that can be stopped 24 hours prior... I feel stopping aspirin is still beneficial and benefits outweigh the risks even in severe CAD.....some however say you dont even need to stop it in ANY surgery.... Please remember by loads of adrenaline also you are straining the heart"

Relationship between rhinitis and nocturnal cough in school children.

Pediatr Allergy Immunol. 2012 May 3. doi: 10.1111/j.1399-3038.2012.01309.x. [Epub ahead of print] Relationship between rhinitis and nocturnal cough in school children.

Source Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, University of Toyama, Toyama, Japan Division of Allergy, Tokyo Metropolitan Children's Hospital, Tokyo, Japan Division of Allergy, National Center for Child Health and Development, Tokyo, Japan Department of Pediatrics, Fukuoka National Hospital, Fukuoka, Japan. Abstract To cite this article: Higuchi O, Adachi Y, Itazawa T, Ito Y, Yoshida K, Ohya Y, Odajima H, Akasawa A, Miyawaki T. Relationship between rhinitis and nocturnal cough in school children. Pediatr Allergy Immunol 2012. ABSTRACT: Background:  There is a complex relationship between rhinitis, asthma, and nocturnal cough. Methods:  To evaluate whether rhinitis is an important risk factor for nocturnal cough and whether this effect is independent of asthma, we analyzed data collected using the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) questionnaire in a population-based nationwide survey. A child who had experienced a dry cough at night in the past 12 months in the absence of a cold was defined as having nocturnal cough. Results:  After excluding 11,475 records with incomplete data, data from 136,506 children were analyzed. Nocturnal cough was significantly more prevalent in children with current rhinitis compared with children without rhinitis. The association between rhinitis and nocturnal cough was significant in children who had current asthma (adjusted OR [95% CI]: 2.26 [2.00-2.56] in children aged 6-7 yr, 1.90 [1.58-2.30] in those aged 13-14 yr, and 1.86 [1.60-2.19] in those aged 16-17 yr), and this association was even higher among children who had no asthma (adjusted OR [95% CI]: 3.65 [3.36-3.97] in children aged 6-7 yr, 3.05 [2.79-3.32] in those aged 13-14 yr, and 2.69 [2.51-2.88] in those aged 16-17 yr). Conclusions:  There was a close association between rhinitis and nocturnal cough in young children through adolescents, and this effect was independent of asthma. Upper airways should be examined in children with nocturnal cough.

Comment of the day on cyclops

Took its demo just few weeks back,,,, its good as far as the technology is concerned,, kind of impressive,,, but thats it.... i dont wanna buy it .. even if i hav money for myself or for any institution... its heavy,,, its costly ( cost is same as if i were to buy all the different angled scope combined)... then there are maintainence issues with this one,,, will definitely need more care i suppose especially with the need to clean that rotating tip off the blood... and then if u break one of these the loss is same as losing all the four endoscopes... i would rather buy the 0, 30, 45, 70 degree with an extra 0 degree endoscope and wont mind taking just a few more mins in the surgery while changing the.. TILL THE COMPANY DECREASES THE COST AND WEIGHT...Dr Sarvejeet Singh

Comment of the day on "Consent" in OPD

One can do a consent in the OPD for smaller procedures, but for major surgery you need to set some time to do it properly. Also, if there is a time gap between the date of consent and surgery it is good practice to counter sign the original form again on the day of the surgery with the date(both by patient and the surgeon). If this is not done the patient may claim that too much information was given in the OPD and he did not understand/remember all of it. Having standard printed copies of information leaflets for all common procedures and giving them to every pre-op patient will save you one day. But one should record 'information leaflet given'. .......Saaj Rajendran(Barnet Hospital,Calicut)
