Feather wreath lung: chasing a dead bird.

We report the case of a 50 year old clerk with chronic extrinsic allergic alveolitis due to a wreath of feathers from his dead budgerigar hanging in his living-room. Diagnosis was confirmed by serum precipitins, bronchoalveolar lavage and open lung biopsy. It is important to recognize unusual sources of exposure in this disease.

Duodenal perforation caused by a bird feather.

Ingestion of gastrointestinal (GI) foreign bodies represents a challenging clinical scenario. The greater risk is at extremes of age, in those wearing dentures, alcoholics and mentally handicapped. We present a case of duodenal perforation caused by a bird feather. A 64-year-old man was presented with abdominal pain for 4 days. Abdominal examination showed signs of peritonitis. The erect abdomi...

A Simulation-Optimization Model For Capacity Coordination In Make To Stock/Make To Order Production Environments

Capacity coordination, as the tactical level of hierarchical production planning in hybrid MTS/MTO systems, includes numerous important decisions. In this paper, two of these decisions i.e. finding the best strategy for the acceptance/rejection of incoming orders and determining orders’ due dates – are investigated. Also a simulation model is proposed to evaluate the efficiency of the presented...
