The purpose of this study was to determine the features of chest computed tomography (CT) in children with swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus (S-OIV). ⋯ Multifocal consolidation with central distribution is a common CT finding in children with S-OIV, but there are few GGO-dominant cases. Widespread consolidation (segmental or lobar) is also common.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of passive maternal smoking on blood flow velocities in arteries of the fetal-placental-maternal circulation. ⋯ Effects of passive maternal smoking on the fetal-placental-maternal unit were comparable to those with active maternal smoking as determined by the means of increased resistance in the maternal vasculature and adaptive changes of cerebroplacental circulation for maintaining fetal cerebral circulation.
