What causes puerile breathing in children?
Puerile breathing is the characteristic bronchial-like breath sound that is heard when you listen to a child's chest with a stethoscope. Normal breath sounds in adults are vesicular, and a bronchial breath sound might signify a lung pathology. But it is thought to be normal in children because they have a thin chest wall compared to adults, which magnifies the breath sound all the way from the trachea, making it louder and more bronchial.

How do you find gay-friendly doctors?
A doctor has an oath they should stand behind so it shouldn't matter if the doctor is straight or gay. My girlfriend lives in L.A., is gay and has a straight doctor and has no problem.
AnswerThat previous answer is a bit short-sighted. Doctors are subject to the same prejudices as ordinary mortals. I went to my doctor for a cholesterol test. When I told my doctor I was gay, she wanted me to get vaccinated for Hepatitus C. She also wanted me to get an HIV test. I explained that I am completely monogamous with my partner of 12 years, but she continued to insist. There is nothing scientific with what she said. A gay person isn't magically more likely to contract these diseases solely on the basis of sexual orientation. the doctor needs to find out about the patient's behavior. So, if you want to find a GLBT friendly doctor, try http://www.glma.org/Both of the previous statements are true...however, even if doctors have the duty to care for their patient's without prejudice, they ARE humans and they have opinions that skew their point of view. The same way you look for doctors that embrace alternative medicine, or are "pro-life", or are specialized in whatever, you also should shop around for a doctor that is knowledgeable about LGBT issues and is supportive. Caring for patients must take in consideration all aspects of their life. Fortunately this is the direction medicine is taking now, albeit slowly.
As to the experience of the writer above, I have to agree with that doctor's approach. Statistically speaking, gay men are more exposed to STD, like hep.C and HIV. Nothing magical about it, just human nature. Truthfully, no-one knows 100% that their partner is faithful. We are all human, again, and we make mistakes. We have to be practical, get tested and vaccinated, and be mindful of our choices. I have cared for too many people, men and women, who had been monogamous with their partners and believed they were too, and ended in the hospital with STD's. I don't put faith on a promise, but on the knowledge that we make mistakes, and we can be too embarrassed to admit it. I urge everyone to be tested, regularly; to protect themselves, every time; and to protect others and those we love.

Ast level 64 alt 39 and cpk 602 in 6 months child what does that mean?
This is almost impossible to answer due to the vagueness of the condition. Consult with your child's paediatrician.
AST and ALT are enzymes that are contained within most cells, ALT being more specific to the liver and the heart. If levels rise, these indicate cell damage and the cells burst, releasing these enzymes into the blood.
CPK is also an non-specific indicater of muscular damage, but more relevant to skeletal muscle damage and heart attacks (myocardial infarction).
What happens in hospital when someone arrests?
A cardiac arrest team will be called in, and the staff will start CPR immediately, they will use a BVM and Defib (if necessary) to attempt to resus the patient the cardiac arrest team will then move in and perform ALS on the patient.
Usually the patient will go into respiratory arrest and then cardiac arrest, their heart rhythm will normally go from normal synas rhythm into VF (Ventiricualr Fibrillation) where a shock will be nececerry to stop the heart, and shock it back into normal rhythem.
If the patient receives early CPR and early Defib they have a fairly good chance of surviving if they go into VF.
Hope this helps.
