New Zealand dairy giant Fonterra sparked a global food-safety scare when it admitted there could be bacteria in one of its milk whey products that could cause botulism, a severe and often lethal form of food poisoning. The impact of the scare was unprecedented, causing the New Zealand dollar to drop sharply, and prompting a wave of panic that saw China and several other major markets block all dairy products from New Zealand. As Fonterra was then Danone Nutricia's main supplier of whey powder, several Danone Nutricia's Karicare infant formula products were falsely implicated in the scare, prompting the company to initiate a series of product recalls across international markets. The botulism scare turned out to be a false alarm, but the reputational and financial damage inflicted on Danone Nutricia was immediate and severe. Weber Shandwick was tasked with guiding the communication programme, which required effective information gathering, continual situation analysis and strategic consultancy.

9 Robbins Basic Pathology mentions that in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the forced ventilation capacity (FVC) is either normal or slightly increased! I just can't justify that. I mean it should decrease. And this is exactly what is mentioned in your book. I couldn't contact the authors of that book so I decided to ask you whether there is actually a situation in which the FVC in COPD patients might increase?

10 Is there any obstructive pulmonary condition in which there might be an increase in FVC? If so by what mechanism?
