Essentially, "tromboning" means focusing in and out on a certain object (sort of like how a trombone slides forward and backward). Not only does this practice help strengthen your eye muscles—it's like "pushups" for the focusing system, Appelbaum says—but it also heightens your sense of peripheral awareness, which is great for quelling anxiety.   "When we feel claustrophobic and we feel our body's reaction to stress and we tense up, a lot can be done with relaxing focus, opening up periphery, and shifting how we are taking in that experience," he adds. Think about it: With anxiety, many of us experience "tunnel vision" and lose peripheral awareness. When you have the ability to zoom out, it can almost "trick" your brain into relieving that anxiety.  But back to the tromboning practice: "Take a target up close with small letters on it, bring it as close as [you] can until it gets a little blurry.

Plastic bronchitis is a rare respiratory condition that causes the formation of bronchial casts. The casts consist of thick, fibrinous mucus, which fills the airways. Plastic bronchitis is an uncommon lung condition that causes rubbery mucus plugs, or casts, to form in the airways of the lungs. In some cases, the casts have the shape of tree branches. The casts consist of cellular material and mucus. Depending on the severity, casts may block a person's airway and interfere with their breathing. The condition can become life threatening. Plastic bronchitis occurs more often in children than adults. Healthcare professionals can help prevent respiratory failure by promptly identifying and treating the condition. This article discusses plastic bronchitis in more detail, including its symptoms, causes, diagnosis, treatments, and outlook. The symptoms of plastic bronchitis can vary depending on the size of the cast formations and their location in the airway. For example, the casts may...
