摘要:

In briefA case report of an 8-year-old baseball player who was diagnosed with Legg-Calvè-Perthes (LCP) disease gives an opportunity to consider the many nontraumatic causes of hip pain. Possibilities include slipped capital femoral epiphysis, septic arthritis, transient synovitis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and bone tumor. Radiographs and bone scans are used to document and stage LCP, and to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment. Though the aggressiveness of treatment depends on the disease stage, the treatment of choice is generally nonsurgical containment of the femoral epiphysis with a cast or orthosis.

摘要:

In briefExercise-induced asthma (EIA) affects 12% to 15% of the general population. Its symptoms include chest tightness, shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, fatigue, and prolonged recovery times after exercise. Diagnosis depends on accurate history, physical examination, and lung function testing. Nonpharmacologic management includes modification of both activity and ambient conditions, along with rigorous patient education. Short-acting inhaled beta2agonists are the pharmacologic treatment of choice for isolated and breakthrough EIA. Anti-inflammatory medications such as inhaled cromolyn sodium, nedocromil sodium, and corticosteroids are used to control underlying asthma as well as EIA. Other agents such as oral theophylline or long-acting beta agonists may be important but their roles aren't clearly defined.
