We report our experience with epidural morphine analgesia. Morphine 2-3 mg in 10-15 ml 0.9% saline was given to patients after abdominal surgery, patients with terminal carcinoma and patients with multiple fractured ribs. Mean duration of analgesia was 14 hours and was not accompanied by severe complications.
A case of transient unilateral twelfth nerve Paresis after puncture of the internal jugular vein is reported. The anatomy of the puncture site makes a connection possible.
Morphine in epidural application (2-3 mg in 10 cc saline solution 0,9%) gives a long lasting segmental analgesia. In 15 patients after upperabdominal surgery the overall mean dosage of morphine was 8,85 mg within three days. The effect lasted for about 15 hours per application. No other analgetics were needed. All patients were content with this method of postoperative analgesia. There were no side effects or complications.
Folic acid is given intravenously to rats 5 to 10 days after a dichromate induced damage of the kidneys. These injection cause an additional damage in the function and structure of the kidneys, but on the other hand, they induce a cell proliferation detected by the increased uptake of thymidine. This cell proliferation in the kidney-tissue seems to be a part of specific reactions to the folic acid.
