Rheumatoid disease.

This article documents the developments in surgery for the rheumatoid hand that have been made during the last 40 years and reviews the pertinent literature.

Arthritis, Rheumatoid

Treatment of respiratory tract infections with pefloxacin in critically ill patients hospitalized in a surgical intensive care unit.

Respiratory tract infections were treated with pefloxacin in fifteen patients, who were hospitalized in the intensive care unit and required artificial ventilation. The treatment was successful in ten patients. Development of resistance was observed in Staphylococcus aureus (two times) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (four times). No adverse reactions were seen.

Bacterial Infections

An exercise-induced compartment syndrome of the dorsal forearm--a case report.

A 46-year-old male patient experienced extreme pain in the dorsal forearm after strenuous work. He had the classical physical findings of compartment syndrome and elevation of compartment pressure of 45 mm by direct measurement. A decompressive fasciotomy of the dorsal musculature provided total relief of pain, and subsequently full recovery of all function occurred.

Compartment Syndromes

In vitro binding and pharmacokinetics of gold salts in plasma proteins and chelating agents.

The binding of sodium aurothiomalate, sodium aurothiosulphate and aurothioglucose to plasma proteins has been investigated in vitro. All gold compounds were bound to protein at a similar rate and had similar apparent affinity constants and binding capacities. Penicillamine (10 or 100 microgram/ml) was unable to chelate significant amounts of bound gold from plasma protein.
