agree  SJLD: nice - although I might have used "developing" or "progressive" for "évolutif" (it usually means getting worse)

  -> Thanks. I used 'changing' rather than 'deteriorating' (which I wrote initially) to reflect that the source refers only to an evolving situation, not specifically to a deterioration, but I am assuming that the latter is the case.

agree  Dr Lofthouse: yes, but its not fluid English - perhaps 'pattern of progressive obstruction' or 'worsening obstruction' ?
