[Recurrent fatal pseudomembranous colitis].

BACKGROUND: Clostridium difficile pseudomembranous colitis may trace a fulminent course and require surgery. CASE REPORTS: Outcome was fatal despite subtotal colectomy in the reported case of recurrent Clostridium difficile pseudomembranous colitis. Infrequent localization, low serum albumin and an unfavorable clinical course were observed. DISCUSSION: Rapid surgical treatment with large resection is mandatory in such cases, particularly in patients of rectal and sigmoid remnant involvement.

Spontaneous vesiculation.

The thermodynamics of vesicle formation was analyzed by using the elastic bending energy approach. Several different possibilities of spontaneous vesiculation, due to soft bilayers, non-zero spontaneous curvature and Gaussian curvature, respectively, were presented and discussed. Intermediate structures in the closed vesicle-disklike mixed micelle phase transition could be either cup-like particles or open bilayers partially rolled into lipid tubules.

[Mastocytosis: general anesthesia with remifentanil and sevoflurane].

Mastocytosis is a disorder with potential anaesthesia complications. Reviewing the literature, anaesthetic management of mastocytosis is controversial. We report the successful use of remifentanil and sevoflurane in a woman with systemic mastocytosis. No reaction nor histamine release was observed in these cases.
