골반근육은 방광아래와 직장, 질, 자궁 등을 지탱해준다. 골반 근육이 수축하면 소변과 대변이 새지 않게 되는 것이다. 그러나 여성들은 분만하거나 나이가 들어 근육이 약해지고 처지게 되면 기침을 하거나 뛸때 소변이 새는 요실금을 경험하게 된다.

겨울철에 왜 요실금이 심해질까? 여름에는 체내 수분의 상당량이 땀으로 배출되지만, 겨울에는 체내 수분이 땀보다 오줌으로 배출돼 요실금 발생 빈도가 높아지는 편. 또 겨울에는 기온차로 인해 기침이나 재채기를 자주 하면서 탄력성을 잃은 골반근육과 방광근육이 자극을 받아 요실금이 발생하기도 한다.

폐염은 아기가 감기를 않고 대개는 4~5일 지나서 병원을 찾는 경우가 흔합니다. 3~4일간 계속 감기 치료를 하였는데도 불구하고 기침이 점점 심해진다든가, 고열이 계속 된다든가 하면 의사를 찾아가서 친찰을 받아야 합니다. 처음에는 구토를 하는 경우도 있고 숨쉬는 속도가 빨라지면서 어떤 아기는 경련까지 하기도 합니다.

겨울이 다가오면 찾아온 추위에 우리 몸은 위협받는다. 기온이 급격히 낮아져 혈관이 갑자기 수축하거나 터질 위험에 조마조마한 고혈압, 멈추지 않는 만성 기침을 포함한 호흡기 질환 등을 건강검진으로 미리 예방하는 것은 어떨까.

날씨가 추워지면서 기침을 하는 사람들이 여기저기서 눈에 띈다. 급속도로 확산되고 있는 신종 플루로 인해 몸이 조금만 이상해도 걱정되고 심지어 공포심까지 만연하고 있는 시기라 감기와 독감, 그리고 신종플루에 대한 올바른 이해가 그 어느 때보다 필요하다 하겠다.

A 4-year-old, neutered male Shih-tzu dog weighing 5.4 kg was referred due to anorexia and chronic coughing. Based on history, physical examination, laboratory tests, radiographic findings, echocardiography, and bronchoscopic examination, the dog was diagnosed as tracheobronchial foreign body. The foreign body was steamed rice debris, which was removed by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) with vacuum suction of bronchoscopy. Bacterial and fungal culture of collected BAL fluid was negative. Baermann test for lungs parasites also was negative. The dog was treated with bronchodilator, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory agent, and mucolytics for 7 days. Appetite increased and coughing sign was clearly improved after removal of foreign body and medical therapy. This case report describes that bronchoscopic techniques are available for the evaluation and management of airway foreign bodies.

Purpose : To evaluate the chemokine expression in children with a non-productive cough. Materials and Methods : Six children with a non-productive cough who visited Yeungnam University Hospital were evaluated for the mRNA expression of interferon-${\gamma}$-inducible protein 10(IP-10), macrophage cationic protein 1 and 3 (MCP-1, 3), interleukin (IL)-8, regulated upon activation in normal T cells expressed and secreted (RANTES), eotaxin and growth-related oncogene-${\alpha}$ (Gro-${\alpha}$) using the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Results : The chemokines IP-10 and MCP-3 were expressed in all samples. The chemokine RANTES was expressed in five cases, and IL-8 was expressed in three among them. However, eotaxin, Gro-${\alpha}$ and MCP-1 were not expressed at all. The expression of chemokine MCP-3, RANTES and IL-8 were suppressed after the resolution of coughing in just one available case. Conclusion : The chemokines MCP-3, RANTES and IL-8 may contribute to airway inflammation in children with a non-productive cough, whereas IP-10 is of secondary importance in this condition.

A 5-year-old male Pointer dog weighing 24 kg was referred because of a chronic cough. The dog was routinely vaccinated and treated monthly with medications to prevent heartworm and endoparasites. Blood analyses revealed no abnormalities. Chest radiographs showed interstitial and bronchial patterns in the caudal lung fields. Bronchoscopic imaging identified a collapse of the left bronchus with a mucopurulent discharge, indicating the onset of bronchomalacia. Computed tomography also showed bronchial collapse and a tapering angle in the left caudal bronchus. This case study describes the diagnosis of bronchomalacia in a Pointer dog with a chronic cough, and suggests that bronchoscopic examination is a valuable tool for identifying of the onset of bronchomalacia in dogs presenting with an uncontrolled cough.

Severe cough may contribute to serious complications such as pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, rib fracture, subconjunctival hemorrhage, subdural hemorrhage and cough syncope. However abdominal wall hematoma is a rare complication. Because it usually presents with abdomianal pain, abdominal wall hematoma needs to be differentiated from the acute surgical abdomen. A 78-year old woman was admitted with right lower quadrant abdominal pain and a palpable mass for several days. She experienced abdominal pain after violent coughing associated with an upper respiratory tract infection. Abdominal computed tomography revealed an approximately $7{\times}4cm$ sized, ill-defined, soft tissue density lesion in the right lower posterolateral abdominal wall. An abdominal wall hematoma was diagnosed. After admission, she had persistent right lower abdominal pain and an increasing mass. The mass was surgically removed and she was discharged without complications. In summary, when a patient complains of abdominal pain after severe coughing, an abdominal wall hematoma as a differential diagnosis must be considered.
