Foreign body aspiration x-ray findings that can be seen with foreign body aspiration include obstructive emphysema, atelectasis, and consolidation. While, x-ray can be used to visualize the location and identity of a foreign body, rigid bronchoscopy under general anesthesia is the gold-standard for diagnosis since the foreign body can be visualized and removed with this intervention. Rigid bronchoscopy is indicated when two of the three following criteria are met: report of foreign body aspiration by the patient or a witness, abnormal lung exam findings, or abnormal chest x-ray findings. Treatment of foreign body aspiration is determined by the severity of obstruction of the
Cold and heat adaptations in humans air temperature from reaching the skin. There has been very little research done in the genetics behind adaptations to heat and cold stress. Data suggests that certain parts of the human genome have only been selected for recently. Research on gene-culture interaction has been successful in linking agriculture and lactose tolerance. However, most evidence of links between culture and selection has not been proven. Cold and heat adaptations in humans Cold and heat adaptations in humans are a part of the broad adaptability of "Homo sapiens". Adaptations in humans can be physiological, genetic, or cultural, which allow people to live
