Prospective randomized trial of sequential compression devices vs low-dose warfarin for deep venous thrombosis prophylaxis in total hip arthroplasty.

A prospective randomized trial compared the effectiveness of low-dose warfarin (LDW) to sequential compression devices (SCD) for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis in 95 patients after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Patients were 39 years of age or older, with no history of previous venous disease. Bilateral lower-extremity venography was used for thrombi detection. Venous thrombi occurred in 12 patients (all calf) on LDW (26.6%) and 3 patients with SCDs (one calf, two thigh) (6.0%). The incidence of DVT was significantly higher in the LDW group (P less than .006). In this study of average-risk patients, the use of SCDs significantly outperformed LDW as a prophylactic agent. However, the thrombi that did occur with SCDs were more critical.

Hypokalemia associated with hyperparathyroidism in pregnancy.

A case of hyperparathyroidism complicating pregnancy is described. An uncommon associated finding of hypokalemia and its possible etiology is discussed. When hypokalemia occurs in the setting of hyperparathyroidism, oral phosphates should be used with caution, since they may worsen hypokalemia.

Hydralazine induced lupus and Sweet's syndrome. Report and review of the literature.

This is the second case report of hydralazine induced Sweet's syndrome and lupus erythematosus. Our patient had the characteristic rash of Sweet's syndrome, confirmed histopathologically, as well as laboratory features consistent with drug induced lupus, including positive serum antinuclear and antihistone antibody tests. The association between these 2 clinical entities is discussed and a review of the literature is presented.

Constrictive pericarditis mimicking Budd-Chiari syndrome.

Budd-Chiari syndrome and constrictive pericarditis share many clinical and histologic features. Clinicians must continue to reassess patients when given histologic data that are not specific for a particular disease entity, so that subtle clinical differences are recognized, appropriate diagnosis made, and therapy instituted.

Folate deficiency presenting as pancytopenia in pregnancy.

Folate deficiency is a well-known complication of pregnancy. We present a case of folate deficiency with profound pancytopenia. Although this is a well-known consequence of folate deficiency, we wish to reemphasize this dramatic complication of pregnancy.
