[Stridor due to a subglottic hemangioma compressing the trachea].

Subglottic haemangioma can cause stridor in young children, and sometimes be life-threatening. Larynx ultrasound is a useful, non-irradiating screening test, but the diagnosis must be confirmed by bronchial fibroscopy and injected chest CT scan. Nowadays propranolol is the first-line treatment.

Further evidence on the relationship between abdominal aortic aneurysm and periodontitis: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by Gram-negative bacteria responsible for the degradation of tissues surrounding tooth. Moreover, periopathogens can invade the bloodstream, disseminate and promote cardiovascular disease, such as the link between Porphyromonas gingivalis and atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between the severity of periodontitis and of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).
