Respiratory diseases in dogs and cats can be classified into respiratory problems brought about as a result of a specific abnormality of the respiratory system; so called primary respiratory disease, and bronchopulmonary problems which occur as a consequence of heart failure; so called secondary respiratory disease. This section will concentrate predominantly on considerations regarding the treatment of primary respiratory diseases. This includes agents used to facilitate bronchodilation, to reduce coughing and various expectorants and mucolytics. In addition, the optimal fluid therapy and various ways of oxygen delivery with complication will be discussed with emphasis In order to understand the indications for, and action of, various drugs used in the treatment of respiratory disease an understanding of normal respiratory physiology is important and these considerations is described in this section for helping to understand further for readers.

An adult male rhesus monkey (Macaca mulata) developed anorexia, ataxia, dullness, coughing, and some elevated body temperature and died a week after the initiation of such symptoms. At necropsy the monkey's physical condition was found to be normal. Body weight was 18.3kg and the only notable gross lesion was the appearance of acute pneumonia with multiple nodules. Histopathologic observation of the tissues obtained from this animal revealed the features of acute primary pulmonary blastomycosis.

Curcumin, is a polyphenol from Curcuma longa (turmeric plant), is a polyphenol that belongs to the ginger family which has long been used in Ayurveda medicines to treat various diseases such as asthma, anorexia, coughing, hepatic diseases, diabetes, heart diseases, wound healing and Alzheimer's. Various studies have shown that curcumin has anti-infectious, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, hepatoprotective, thrombosuppressive, cardio protective, anti-arthritic, chemo preventive and anti-carcinogenic activities. It may suppress both initiation and progression stages of cancer. Anticancer activity of curcumin is due to negative regulation of inflammatory cytokines, transcription factors, protein kinases, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oncogenes. This review focuses on the different targets of curcumin to treat cancer.

Tracheo-gastric conduit fistula is an extremely rare but severe complication that is difficult to manage. Conservative care, esophageal or tracheal stent placement, or cutaneomuscular flaps have been suggested; however, no definite treatment has been proven. We report a case of tracheo-gastric conduit fistula that occurred after a minimally invasive radical three-field esophagectomy. Following the primary surgery, the diagnosis was made while evaluating the patient's frequent aspiration and coughing. Conservative management failed, and a surgical correction was undertaken to identify the multifocal mucosal defect and exposed tracheal ring. A sternocleidomastoid muscle rotation flap and subsequent Histoacryl injection into the remaining fistula were performed, and the fistula was successfully managed.

Spontaneous cervical hematomas could lead to life-threatening complications, and aneurysms, retopharyngeal abscesses, parathyroid adenomas, laryngeal cysts, and neurogenic tumors should be distinguished as possible underlying causes. Symptoms accompanying spontaneous cervical hematoma include cervical swelling, ecchymosis, dysphagia, dyspnea and hoarseness. We recently experienced a case of spontaneous cervical hematoma in a 52-year-old woman, who initially presented with cervical swelling after severe coughing two days ago. Resultingly parathyroid adenoma was finally confirmed after mass excision. Therefore, we present this unique case with a review of the literature.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to examine the significance of Korean Medical literature on representative symptoms of postpartum deep venous thrombosis (DVT), such as lower extremity edema and pulmonary embolism. Methods : Pattern differentiation, cause, symptoms and treatment related to DVT and pulmonary embolism as written in Korean Medical texts were studied comparatively. Results : In Korean Medical understanding, DVT could be linked to lower extremity edema due to blood stagnation, while pulmonary embolism could be linked to coughing, asthma and nose bleed due to stagnated blood. Conclusions : To prevent relapse and manage its after-effects, Korean Medical treatment for DVT and pulmonary embolism is much in need.

Objective: Overactive bladder syndrome refers to the symptom of frequent urination, as the function of the bladder is so sensitive that the bladder muscles contract regardless of the patient's intent and the patient feels the need to urinate quickly. Overactive bladder syndrome is common among the elderly, especially in women, and the prevalence increases with increasing age. Overactive bladder can decrease social activity, increase isolation, and decrease quality of life due to sleep disorders caused by night urination; therefore, active treatment is required. In this study, we report the effects of Korean medical treatment on a Korean hospital patient with overactive bladder symptoms, including urine frequency, urine incontinence, and night urination that began at a similar time to an onset of coughing. Methods: We treated the patient with herbal medicines and acupuncture therapy. The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS), and a numeric rating scale (NRS) were used to assess symptom changes. Results: The patient with urine frequency, urine incontinence, and nocturia was hospitalized for 8 days, and the overall symptoms of overactive bladder syndrome were improved. Conclusion: The results indicate that Korean medical treatment is effective in patients with overactive bladder syndrome.

Six English Bull dogs from the same dog training camp were referred with main complaints of stridor, gagging and coughing. Diagnostic imaging studies on these dogs revealed hypoplastic trachea with/without bronchopneumonia. The mean age of affected dogs was $4.83{\pm}2.63$ months, while the mean body weight was $9.03{\pm}5.30$ kg. The mean ratio of the tracheal diameter to the thoracic inlet distance (TD/TI) was $0.085{\pm}0.022$ (normally 0.16 or greater), whereas the mean ratio tracheal diameter to the width of the third rib (TD/W3R) was $1.36{\pm}0.36$ (normally 2 or greater). All dogs had marked inspiratory dyspnea with variable degree of coughing. Of 6 dogs, 4 dogs had either bronchitis or bronchopneumonia. Treatment with antibiotics and bronchodilators made improvement on clinical signs on these dogs. Although some dogs still had mild inspiratory dyspnea (especially after exercise or excitement), most dogs live normally.
