Gnawing mice
EMPSHOTT, England (UPI)
—The local Anglican church’s
organ has been silenced by
mice gnawing at its insides.
“We are faced with the
possibility of replacing the
organ,” said Rev. John Russell,
the vicar. “But not only is the
church as quiet as a mouse, it
is as poor as a churchmouse.”
Parties are out
BLYTH, England (UPI)-
Town officials have warned
housewives in local government
housing they will be evicted if
they continue to throw parties
to sell consumer goods.
Tie warning was made after
local shopkeepers complained
their sales were being affected
by housewives selling every
thing from underwear to
kitchen equipment at cut-rate
prices.

DR. LAWRENCE E. LAMB
May be trapped air
Mysterious snapping
By Lawrence Lamb, M.D.
Dear Dr. Lamb. —l am 25
years old and have had a
problem with my chest for
several months. I have had
TB tests, chest X rays and a
gastrointestinal series All
that was found was a duode
nal ulcer, which was active
and treated. When I take a
deep breath, I get a dry.
snapping sound near the bot
tom of my breast bone. It is
irritating and worries me.
My family doctor, whom I
have a lot of faith in, told
me it may be the ulcer caus
ing the snapping, but he has
never heard of such a symp
tom in 30 years of practice.
Could it be the cartilage or
could it be the ulcer that is
causing it? The doctor said
it might be psychosomatic,
but my wife also can hear
this dry snapping when it
occurs. Once it snaps, I have
to move around about three
minutes and then draw an
other breath before it will
snap again. Your advice
would be appreciated
Dear Reader—l can’t be
sure what you have, but
there are not very many
things that will cause a snap
ping sound in the area you
are talking about. The most
likely explanation is that
there is some air trapped
somewhere in one of your
body cavities.
1 would suspect it may be
some air in the pericardium,
the sac around the heart.
This usually causes no pain.
In such cases, there appar
ently is a small leak into the
sac around the heart from

the air sacs in the lungs,
When the heart beats, it
causes a knocking sound
called pneumopericardium.
Sometimes these are not
very loud and can only be
heard with a stethoscope. In
other instances, they can be
heard clear across the room.
They are usually fairly con
sistent and your history of
only noting it with a deep
breath suggests that, in the
process of taking a deep
breath, your heart and the
accumulation of air in the
sac get in the right position
to make this sound tempo
rarily.
Usually, air trapped in the
pericardium this way is ab
sorbed and only lasts a
short time. Therefore, if that
should be the cause. I am
surprised that it has lasted
for several months. Inciden
tally, there is usually no dis
ease or illness associated
with the finding and. once
the air is absorbed, the
sound goes away.
Os course, people can
make sounds in the joints of
their shoulders and other
places and you can make
joints pop, which may also
be associated with the ac
cumulation of small gas
bubbles, in this instance ni
trogen. Still, none of these
seem to fit what you are de
scribing, so my best bet
would be that it is a little air
pocket trapped in the sac
near the heart, which would
cause the sound to be at the
bottom of your breast bone.
The diagnosis is usu all y
made by looking very care
fully at the outline of the
sac around the heart on
chest X rays and finding a
narrow band of air. It is
often missed, particularly if
the air pocket isn't situated
in the right location to be
demonstrated bv the chest
X ray.
This is an exceptionally
rare finding except follow
ing heart surgery. 1 have,
however, seen it in healthy
young individuals and the
only evidence of their illness
was the disturbing sound
and the little band of air that
outlined the shadow of the
heart. When it occurs in this
setting, it is clinically not
important. If it occurs as a
complication of some other
disease, then its importance
is the underlying disease
that causes the problem.
