7b-1. Hypoplastic pulmonary artery with hypoplastic lung.

A. PA chest film demonstrates dexrtroversion with mediastinal shift to the right. There is increased aeration of the left lung in addition to some increase in vascularity with decreased vascularity of the right lung. There is an area of increased aeration of the right lower lobe representing compensatory emphysema secondary to hypoplasia of the right upper lobe.

Co-authors of Minnesota State Fair history book optimistic for event's return - KSTP Co-authors of Minnesota State Fair history book optimistic for event's return - KSTP Posted: 02 May 2021 05:03 PM PDT "I do remember the polio pandemic. I was 8 years old at the time that that fair was canceled," Kathryn Koutsky said. "And my parents and I, we always went to the fair, and so that really affected me." And last year's modified drive-thru fair looked nothing like what's seen in the history books.  "The fair is so crowded that you just couldn't imagine going into the crowd. I mean, it was awfully sad," said Kathryn's daughter, Linda. "I loved going to the fair. I go several days each year, but you just knew there was no way we could go." But there is some hope for the state fair this year. On Friday, Gov. Tim Walz indicated Minnesota is on track for its retu

Polio was nearly extinct. Then the anti-vaxx movement reached Pakistan - Los Angeles Times Polio was nearly extinct. Then the anti-vaxx movement reached Pakistan - Los Angeles Times Posted: 05 Sep 2019 12:00 AM PDT An anti-vaccination movement rooted in suspicions of modern medicine. Unsubstantiated rumors fueled by social media. Children infected with a disease that had been all but wiped out. Polio is making a troubling comeback in Pakistan, and it is being driven by some of the same forces spreading measles in the United States . Two years after health officials declared they were on the verge of eradicating the crippling childhood disease from Pakistan, one of the last countries where it remains endemic, at least 58 children here have tested positive for the virus since January. That is nearly five times the total of all of last year, and the most in a calendar year since 2014 — a major setback for a $1-billion-a-year global eradicat
