[A case of an impossible cannulation of the v. jugularis and v. subclavia in a female patient with longstanding myasthenia gravis and immunosuppressive therapy].

The report deals with a female patient presenting myasthenia gravis of 8-year duration, maintained on continuous APV, repeatedly cannulated central veins, and immunosuppressive therapy with corticosteroids--Imuran and Sandimmun. Repeated CT examination of the mediastinum fails to detect any process. The consecutive scanning is necessitated because of the impossibility to cannulate v. jugularis and v. subclavia at the last attempt. Cytological evidence of a thymosarcoma is established during examination.

[A case of generalized convulsion during induction with Diprivan].

The case report concerns a male patient presenting oligophrenia and epilepsy of long duration, adequately prepared for anesthesia with anticonvulsants, sustaining generalized convulsion during anesthesia induction with Diprivan. On deepening Diprivan anesthesia, the convulsion subsides. The patient runs an uneventful postoperative course, free of convulsions. The issue of small doses Diprivan giving rise to convulsions is comprehensively discussed.

[Morphine and benzodiazepine derivatives in cerebral angiographies].

This is a report on thirty-two patients undergoing cerebral angiography, performed under combined local analgesia in conjunction with morphine and benzodiazepine derivatives. Emphasis is laid on the lack of serious life-endangering complications. The risks of general anesthesia are avoided, and the patient's psyche is conserved. Investigations are performed during both planned and emergency angiographies. A pregnant female patient is also examined by the method described. There are no complications worth noting. The method is proposed as a procedure intermediate between general anesthesia and local analgesia.

Hypoxia reduces the conduction velocity of the excitation along the striated muscles in man.

The conduction velocity of the excitation along the striated muscles in man, hereafter refered to as muscle fiber conduction velocity (MFCV) was used to estimate the muscle functional state under hypoxaemic hypoxia. The averaged MFCV was counted by the method based on the surface measurements (using bipolar "branched" multielectrodes) of the electrically elicited compound action potentials of the brachial biceps muscle. The arterial and venous blood-gas and acid-base parameters were simultaneously measured and the body temperature was controlled intramuscularly. With afebrile patients under normoxaemia or hypoxaemia following brain stroke, MFCV decreased proportionnally to the arterial partial oxygen pressure (PaO2) rate; a strong positive correlation (r = 0.882) between MFCV and PaO2 was found up to PaO2 of 12.0 kPa and MFCV 3.5 m/s. In the case of over PaO2 = 12.0 kPa, the relationship entered into saturation; the further increase PaO2 was not followed by concomitant changes in MFCV. The results show that MFCV-testing is a valuable tool to evaluate the functional state of the striated muscle under hypoxia.
