A 5-day, non-residential exercise and living course for children with asthma is described as a feature of a programme of outpatient physiotherapy.
Eleven children undertaking such a course were compared with 10 asthmatic children in a control group. The subject group showed, in the short term at least, an improvements in bronchial lability, peak flow rates, nocturnal and daytime wheeze, and activity compared with the controls. These findings were statistically significant. There was no difference between the groups in the number of days on which extra medication was taken.
A short, sharp course is of benefit physically, socially and psychologically to children with asthma.

Supervised directed coughing was compared to conventional physiotherapy (postural drainage, vibration and/or percussion and coughing) in 38 patients with cystic fibrosis aged 9–18 years admitted to hospital with an exacerbation of their pulmonary symptoms Assessment included objective measures of pulmonary functionand sputum characteristics. Both treatment groups showed significant improvement at the end of the 2-week period. When the patients were graded according to their pulmonary disease, those with mild-moderate disease demonstrated a significant improvement in both treatment groups whereas those with severe lung disease showed little improvement with either treatment,
Directed coughing is as effective as conventional physiotherapy in the management of patients with cystic fibrosis admitted to hospital for treatment of an exacerbation of their pulmonary symptoms.

The use of high dose inhaled beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) as a means of assessing steroid responsiveness in chronic obstructive airways disease (COAD) was assessed in 22 patients in a study involving three consecutive 2-week periods of placebo, inhaled BDP (1500 μg daily), and oral prednisolone (30 mg daily). Five of the 22 patients were considered steroid responsive following the course of oral corticosteroids and in each case this responsiveness had been identified by inhlaed BDP therapy. It is concluded that high dose inhaled BDP (1500 μg daily) may be used to assess corticosteroid responsiveness in COAD.

A case of immotile-cilia syndrome associated with azoospermia is presented. This diagnosis is based on a typical history of bronchitis, sinusitis, situs inversus, impaired nasal mucociliary clearance and characteristic ultrastructural defect in the respiratory tract cilia and in the sperm tail. Semen analysis showed azoospermia with no evidence of obstruction in the epididymis or vas deferens; there was normal spermatogenesis.
