Tuberculosis Masquerading Foreign Body in Children.

Foreign body aspiration (FBA) is a common issue in children, particularly boys, and can be life-threatening. Early removal of the foreign body (FB) leads to recovery, but delayed diagnosis may cause complications such as granuloma, recurrent pneumonia, and atelectasis. This condition often results from a child's curiosity, with factors such as inadequate swallowing reflex and activity during eating contributing to the risk.

Assessment of Cystic Fibrosis Distribution Based on Air Pollution by Geographical Information System (GIS).

Background: It is widely accepted that concerns have been recently raised regarding the impact of air pollution on the health of children with cystic fibrosis (CF). Air pollution probably affects the exacerbation of CF and its laboratory findings. On the other hand, the World Health Organization (WHO) has asked all countries to update their data and reports on the distribution and prevalence of CF in different areas.
