Cefoperazone versus ceftazidime monotherapy of nosocomial pneumonia.

Cefoperazone and ceftazidime monotherapy were compared in a randomized, prospective evaluation of patients with nosocomial pneumonia. These antibiotics were equally effective, with an overall successful treatment rate of 45 of 62 (73 percent) for cefoperazone-treated patients and 50 of 63 (79 percent) for ceftazidime-treated patients (p = 0.41). There was no difference in the incidence of side effects (including hypoprothrombinemia), superinfections, or colonization of the oropharynx with yeast, enterococcus, Staphylococcus aureus, or resistant gram-negative bacilli. When antibiotic administration, and laboratory costs are considered, cefoperazone is less expensive than ceftazidime. Both cefoperazone and ceftazidime are effective therapy for nosocomial pneumonia.

Informed dissent: the views of some mothers of severely mentally handicapped young adults.

Much of the discussion since the Arthur case has centred round the rights of handicapped infants to medical treatment. Little has centred round the question of how far one person can rightly be required to sacrifice her life for another, when she has not been consulted beforehand. This may be due to the fact that most of the discussants are men, while nearly all the carers are women. This small study attempts to redress this balance by asking mothers who have cared for 20 years, whether they felt it was worthwhile.

Compartment syndrome associated with Staphylococcus endotoxin.

A case is presented of a 23-year-old athletic male student who developed right knee pain after a weekend of strenuous activity. The patient failed to respond to conservative measures; pain increased and within 24 hours he developed fever, chills and swelling of the involved knee. On admission to the hospital, the patient appeared toxic. Efforts to establish a diagnosis, particularly with the use of computerized axial tomography are described. It was surgical decompression of muscular swelling of the distal thighs, revealed by CT scanning, that led to the diagnosis and the successful treatment that followed.
