Paternal influences on adolescent sexual risk behaviors
|
A retrospective examination of the literature pertaining to the effects fathers have on their adolescent childrens' sexual behavior appears to indicate, that while paternal attitudes about sex seem to play a limited role, the emotional quality of the father-adolescent relationship is most consistently associated with adolescent sexual behavior.

Nasopharyngeal (NP) airway pressures in Bronchiolitis patients treated with high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy
|
A small prospective pilot study of 25 infants (mean age: 78.1 days, weight: 5.3 kg) was undertaken to determine the nasopharyngeal (NP) pressures generated by heated, humidified, high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy (HHHFNC).
On average, NP pressures increased linearly 0.45 cm H2O for each 1 L/min increase in flow rate, to flow rates of 6L/min. Pressures with an "open" or "closed" mouth at 6L/min, were 2.47cm H2O and 2.74cm H2O respectively.
Increasing flow rates of HHHFNC are associated with linear increases in NP pressures in small infants with Bronchiolitis.
