Low Profile. 1  Honeywell offers two types of low profile, pancake style precision load cells constructed either of stainless steel or carbon steel. Stainless steel low profile pancake load cells feature either bonded foil or foil strain gauges to provide rugged high performance over many cycles of testing, such as in material testing applications.
Laryngomalacia (literally, soft larynx ) is the most common cause of stridor in infancy, in which the soft, immature cartilage of the upper larynx collapses inward during inhalation, causing airway obstruction.n infantile laryngomalacia, the supraglottic larynx (the part above the vocal cords) is tightly curled, with a short band holding the cartilage shield in the front (the epiglottis) tightly to the mobile cartilage in the back of the larynx (the arytenoids). These bands are known as the aryepiglottic folds.
An omega-shaped epiglottis is frequently associated with laryngomalacia. However, an elongated high-rising epiglottis can represent a normal variation of the larynx in a majority of pediatric patients. It is important to consider this in a healthy child with no complaints apart from the sensation of a foreign body in throat. This will avoid triggering any unnecessary investigation or treatment.
