Single-versus multiple-dose antibiotics prophylaxis for cardiac surgery.

BACKGROUND: This study was carried out to determine if single-dose antimicrobial prophylaxis is sufficient for cardiac surgery. METHODS: The study was a prospective non-randomized trial of 353 consecutive patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Group A (n = 151) received 48 h of prophylaxis and Group B (n = 202) received a single dose. Cephazolin was used in all patients except those at high risk from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) who received teicoplanin and timentin. RESULTS: There was an overall in-hospital infection rate of 2.8%. There was no significant difference in rate or type of infection between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: An in-hospital infection rate of 2.8% compares favourably with other reported series. Single-dose antimicrobial prophylaxis is as effective as a 48-h regimen. Targeting high-risk groups is effective.

Right aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery: aneurysmal dilatation causing symptomatic compression of the right main bronchus in an adult.

A 60-year-old woman presented with a cough, nocturnal stridor and dysphagia. Bronchoscopy showed tight compression of the right main bronchus. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and a computed tomographic (CT) scan showed the presence of a right-sided aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery. The distal right arch and proximal right-sided descending thoracic aorta were aneurysmal and were responsible for this compression. Surgical relief was accomplished by dividing the aberrant left subclavian artery and replacing the aneurysm with a vascular graft.

Clinical trial of levamisole in the treatment of ascariasis in Khorasan, Iran.

This paper identifies the parasitic infections and their incidence in 246 people aged between 10--20 years living in a semi-rural Iranian village. 64 patients with ascariasis were treated with levamisole ('Ketrax' ICI) in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Most were followed up 1 and 2 weeks after treatment, with cure rate of 97.7% and 98.4% respectively, as assessed by negative egg findings in faeces. No side effects were reported. Levamisole meets the requirements of individual and mass treatment of ascariasis.
