Seroprevalence of Viral Upper Respiratory Infections in Dairy Cattle

In this research, dairy cattle, located in Konya in Central Anatolian Region and its surrounding and had respiratory system symptoms, were investigated for the seroprevalence Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR), Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV), Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus (BRSV), Parainfluenza Virus type 3 (PI-3) and Bovine Adenovirus type 3 (BAV-3). For that purpose, 5800 animals...

Upper airway radiographs in infants with upper airway insufficiency

Upper airway measurements in nine infants considered to be at risk of upper airway insufficiency, six of whom presented after an apnoeic episode, were compared with measurements taken in two age groups of healthy infants. Paired, inspiratory and expiratory, lateral upper airway radiographs were obtained while the infants were awake and breathing quietly. The radiographs of all nine infants demo...

Upper Airway Obstruction*

Chronic upper airway obstruction is frequently unrecognized or misdiagnosed as other conditions such as asthma or chronic airflow obstruction (CAO). Clinical features such as stridor may lead to diagnosis or it may initially be suspected from the results of pulmonary function tests (PFTs) ordered for another reason. We will review the physiology and the pulmonary function tests which are necess...
