Ebstein's disease is a congenital cardiac abnormality in which the origin of the tricuspid valve is displaced downward into the right ventricle to divide it into 2 portions, a proximal portion forming part of the atrial cavity and a distal ventricular portion.The authors present 4 additional cases of Ebstein's disease diagnosed during life and describe the characteristic clinical features.Breathlessness on exertion, cyanosis, and palpitation were common symptoms.A precordial systolic murmur and a well-marked triple rhythm were heard at the apex.Central cyanosis was present at rest in 1 patient and during attacks of paroxysmal tachycardia in another.The electrocardiogram showed right atrial hypertrophy in the form of peaked P waves in 3 patients and a right bundle-branch-block pattern in 2. By roentgenography all patients demonstrated an enlarged globular cardiac silhouette due mainly to the abnormal right atrium.Angiocardiography showed a huge right atrium in all cases and early filling of the left atrium in 1 case, subsequently found to have a patent foramen ovale at autopsy.Catheterization performed in 3 patients disclosed a raised right atrial pressure in 2. Only in 1 patient was it possible to catheterize the pulmonary artery.In this instance the pressures were normal.In each case the catheter coiled in a large right atrium.Ebstein's disease is compatible with many years of active adult life.At present there is no place for surgical treatment.Thoracotomy is hazardous, since mechanical stimulation of the heart frequently pre- cipitates cardiac arrhythmias that have in some instances been fatal.Procaine amide and prostigmine were both used successfully to terminate paroxysmal attacks of tachycardia in 2 patients.In 1 case, bouts 461 of cardiac arrhythmia occurred in spite of oral ther- apy with quinidine and procaine amide.Terminally the attacks failed to respond to parenteral therapy with prostigmine and procaine amide.HARRIS

Wonderful albumin?

America, and Australia.10The belief that continuous monitor- ing of the patient is beneficial has led to recommendations throughout the world that it should be used whenever possible.5Equally, it is accepted that oxygen saturation should not be permitted to fall below 900/o-that is, an arterial oxygen tension of 7 9 kPa-as below this value a minor fall in oxygen tension results in a rapid fall in oxygen content.Pulse oximeters are subject to error, but they are convenient and accurate in most cases when used within the clinical range and will detect hypoxaemia.A review of 2000 anaesthetic incidents showed that pulse oximetry detected more incidents than any other monitor.The authors of this study considered that proper use of pulse oximetry would have alerted the anaesthetist in over 80% of all applicable incidents during anaesthesia and recovery had the incidents remained undetected by other means.1'Many endoscopic techniques require sedation and thus carry the risk of loss of consciousness.Every effort should be made to ensure patients' safety, and this should include the routine use of oxygen supplementation and monitoring of arterial oxygen supplementation by pulse oximetry.Indeed, these recommendations should be seen as a bare minimum, as a mortality of one in 2000 requires urgent action.If any doubt exists about the use of supplemental oxygen and pulse oximetry it follows that the only logical step to improve patients' safety during endoscopy is to widen the remit of the national confidential inquiry into perioperative deaths.This will permit thorough assessments of all factors contributing to mortality and morbidity after endoscopy.
Ameboma, the forgotten granuloma
Authors: S. M. Levine
Journal: JAMA (1971)

Amebomas or amebic granulomas are unusual sequelae of acute amebiasis. Because clinical diagnosis is often difficult and amebae may not be found in stool specimens, rectal biopsies, mucosal scrapings, and serological tests for amebae assume paramount importance in helping to establish a diagnosis of ameboma. The roentgenological appearance, in the correct clinical setting, may also suggest the diagnosis of ameboma. Treatment should include the tissue amebicide emetine hydrochloride, as well as antibiotics and luminal agents.

During the winter in Northern countries, the risk of eczema is increased due to low temperatures and low humidity. Eczema, which is characterized by dry, itchy and inflamed skin, is particularly more common on weather‐exposed areas such as the cheek and hands. Recently, small protrusions (which stick out) on the surface of skin cells called corneocytes were associated with eczema and a lack of natural moisturizing factors (NMF) which help prevent skin dryness. This study, from Denmark, aimed to investigate the effect of season on NMF levels and corneocyte surface protrusions in normal adult skin. 80 healthy volunteers (40 males and 40 females), 40 aged 18 ≤ 40 years and 40 aged ≥ 70 years, were tape stripped on the cheek and hand during the winter and the summer. This means applying tape to the skin and then removing it and looking at the tape under a microscope. The tape strips were analysed for NMF levels and corneocyte surface texture. In cheek skin, NMF levels were reduced and the number of corneocyte protrusions elevated during the winter compared to the summer. Older participants had higher NMF levels on the cheek compared to young participants. In the summer, high self‐reported UV‐exposure from the sun was associated with higher numbers of corneocyte surface protrusions. In hand skin, NMF levels were higher during the winter compared to the summer, and female participants had higher NMF levels compared to the male participants. In conclusions, we have observed seasonal effects on NMF levels and corneocyte surface texture on both the cheek and hands. Differences were also found regarding age and sex, making it difficult to draw firm conclusions. Our findings add new pieces to the puzzle of seasonal differences in the occurrence of dry skin and dermatitis.

Dapsone treatment of a brown recluse bite
Authors: L. E. King
Journal: JAMA (1983)

IN 1929, Schmaus<sup>1</sup>reported the treatment of the first documented case of cutaneous loxoscelism in North America with sedation, starch, and sodium bicarbonate, which was ineffective. Current therapies for brown spider bites, using corticosteroids, antibiotics, antihistaminics, and surgical excision, may not be much more effective management for the skin ulcer that the venom produces.<sup>2,3</sup>We have treated a documented bite from the brown recluse spider<i>Loxosceles reclusa</i>with dapsone and produced a dramatic resolution of the skin lesion with no complications. <h3>Report of a Case</h3> A 27-year-old man killed a spider immediately after being bitten on the right leg while dressing. He went directly to the hospital emergency room, where no treatment was given because he was told that the spider was nonvenomous. He saw his private physician 24 hours later, after the bite site became larger (8×8 cm), swollen, and erythematous. He complained of itching and pain.
Bubonic plague misdiagnosed as tularemia. Retrospective serologic diagnosis
Authors: V. R. Sites
Journal: JAMA (1972)

Recent experience has indicated that human plague in the United States is often misdiagnosed as tularemia or as other causes of acute lymphadenitis. Two cases of plague in 1968 and two in 1969 were diagnosed retrospectively. Two of 44 persons on whom a diagnosis of tularemia was made in 1970 were identified as having bubonic plague by use of the passive hemagglutination test and by means of epidemiologic studies.

Corynebacterium hemolyticum peritonsillar abscess mimicking diphtheria
Authors: A. L. Kovatch
Journal: JAMA (1983)

IT IS uncertain whether the organism<i>Corynebacterium hemolyticum</i>is merely one of the bacterial species that colonize the human oropharynx or is an important pathogen in upper respiratory tract infections. While the organism has long been associated with pharyngitis in young adults,<sup>1</sup>sometimes accompanied by a maculopapular<sup>2</sup>or scarlatiniform rash,<sup>3</sup>it has never been thought to possess the invasive or toxigenic potential of<i>Corynebacterium diphtheriae</i>. Recently, however, Green and LaPeter<sup>4</sup>reported a case of membranous pharyngitis caused by<i>C hemolyticum</i>in a 16-year-old girl that so strongly mimicked classic diphtheria that antitoxin was given. This report describes a case in which this organism was cultured from the exudate that was aspirated from a typical peritonsillar abscess. <h3>Report of a Case</h3> A 16-year-old girl was in her usual state of good general health until two weeks before admission to the hospital, when a sore throat with low-grade

Resistance Of Viruses To Antiviral Drugs
Authors: A. Freifeld
Journal: Annual Review of Medicine (1991)

In recent years, substantial advances in antiviral therapy have been made; however, in the immunocompromised host, antiviral drug resistance is becoming an issue of increasing clinical importance. Understanding the mechanism of action of antiviral agents, especially those used to treat herpesvirus infections, may enable us to design new therapeutic agents and better treatment regimens to deal with antiviral drug resistance.

From the authors:
Authors: R. Naeije, P. van de Borne
Journal: European Respiratory Journal (2010)

Our editorial [1] about the report of WENSEL et al.[2] on autonomic nervous system disturbances in severe pulmonary hypertension discussed possible links between sympathetic activation, chemosensitivity, and hyperventilation in (right) heart failure.According to B. Raffestin and M. Leroy, this is too much speculation.They believe that hyperventilation in (right) heart failure is simply explained by an increased dead space, and that the report by WENSEL et al. [2] is nothing more than a description of heart rate variability.
