Treatment of community-acquired pneumonia with ofloxacin.
Our study of 28 carefully selected patients proved that ofloxacin is a safe and effective drug for mild to moderately severe community-acquired pneumonia. An effective oral antimicrobial drug such as ofloxacin can be used as an alternative to conventional therapy in community-acquired pneumonia.

Pseudocholinesterase changes in anesthesia using pancuronium.
Pseudocholinesterase activity was investigated in three groups of unselected patients. A slight rise of the enzyme was found during surgery under local anesthesia with lidocaine. In general anesthesia with thiopentone and halothane, the pseudocholinesterase activity diminished. The inhibition was more pronounced when pancuronium had been injected. From these data one may conclude that pancuronium must be carefully given in patients with low level of pseudocholinesterase when other drugs inhibiting the enzyme activity, like succinylcholine, procaine and propanidid, are used.

[Involvement of the thyroid gland in clinical shock (anti-shock action of propylthiouracil)].
Propylthyouracil, a synthetic anti-thyroid drug, was given intravenously in ten patients in a severe shock condition and its action was followed on the blood cathecholamines. This was assessed in venous blood according to a modified colorimetric method by Manuhin, before and 30 minutes after the substance was perfused. Although statistically non-significantly the two amines show a tendency to fall after the administration of the drug. In line with a series of previous studies carried out in various institutes of chemical and pharmaceutical research the drug was given for the first time in humans in shock conditions. Discussing the results obtained the administration of propylthyouracil is recommended, as an adjuvant therapy in severe shock.
