Death associated with nitrite ingestion: report of a case.

The tissue concentrations of nitrite and nitrate found at autopsy of a case of intentional ingestion of nitrite salts have been reported. The percentage of methemoglobin and the serum nitrite concentrations are consistent with those reported for acute overdoses. We conclude that noth nitrite and nitrate salts may be identified in tissues from persons ingesting only nitrite salts and that a significant conversion to nitrate may result from oxidation of nitrite during the conversion of heme iron to Fe3+.

The treatment of childhood nocturnal enuresis in the community.

The nature of childhood nocturnal enuresis and its psychological treatment are briefly reviewed and the major features relevant to providing a community service are identified. A treatment system is outlined, based on criteria for inclusion, particular treatment packages, specifiable number of contacts and predetermined definitions of success. The operation of this treatment system by a small multidisciplinary team in a community clinic setting is described and data to demonstrate the running and efficacy of the service are presented.
