Objective: To evaluate the clinical profiles, diagnosis, and treatment of patients with acute epiglottitis at a tertiary care teaching hospital of east India.Methods: This is a retrospective study in which 28 patients of acute epiglottitis participated. This study was conducted between January 2016 and October 2019. The diagnosis of acute epiglottitis was based on the clinical presentations and fiberoptic laryngoscopic examinations of the larynx and hypopharynx. Details of age, gender, personal history, clinical symptoms, treatment, and hospital stay were evaluated. Results: Out of the 28 patients with acute epiglottitis, 17 (60.71%) were male and 11 (39.29%) were female with age ranged from 4 years to 62 years and a mean age of 23.45 years. The median duration from the onset to resorting to physicians is 3 d. Among the 28 patients, 4 patients (14.29%) were under the treatment for diabetes mellitus. Four cases (14.29%) required airway management with intubation and tracheostomy. Conclusions: Acute epiglottitis is an acute infectious condition of the supraglottis and may lead to airway obstruction. Clinical presentations alone are insufficient for the diagnosis of acute epiglottitis. Fiberoptic nasopharyngolaryngoscopic examination should be performed as soon as possible for confirmation of the disease.

带传动机构是机械传动学科中一个重要分支,以其价格便宜、结构简单、过载保护、更换方便等特点得到了广泛的应用。目前使用的带传动机构,主动轮和从动轮分别与轴同心安装,且主、从动轮均作匀速转动。本文提出了一种变速带传动机构,即从动轮偏心安装的带传动机构,该机构的特点是在输入转速不变的情况下,输出转速在一定范围内作周期性变化。并将此机构应用到并条机的圈条机构中,研究发现,使用这种变速带传动机构驱动圈条盘,不
