[AIDS and pregnancy. The clinical management of 2 cases of HIV infection].

Two clinical cases of HIV-infected pregnant women are presented: One with declared AIDS and the other a symptomless carrier. The clinical management of these cases are described; that is, the resolution of the delivery and the clinical measures implemented during their hospitalization. Both, the potential ways of propagating the infection among the health workers as well as the universal precautions which must be taken in order to avoid the risk of infection are discussed. The perinatal transmission of the HIV virus and the possible risk factors are also studied in this presentation. In the heterosexual relations of the couples infected with HIV are considered important their associated risk factors. It appears that education is the primary factor to prevent the infection in obs-gyn patients, more than obtaining resources to do massive serological tests on them.

Preliminary data on a new method for lithium therapy.

Lithium therapy was assessed using electrosleep on two dogs. Cotton swabs soaked in an aqueous isotonic lithium chloride solution were placed over the eyes and mastoids of the dogs, and connected to the electrosleep apparatus. In two minutes, sleep was induced in both dogs, at point 5 (mA) on the intensity scale (which runs 1 to 9 mA). After two hours, the apparatus was turned off. One of the dogs was put under continuous observation, and the other one was sacrified. Parts of its cortex, subcortex, and cerebellum were processed and fragments were assayed spectrophotometrically for Lithium. Lithium was found in all the material examined. These results suggest a possible technique for Lithium therapy using electrosleep, the ion being carried directly to CNS, avoiding systemic toxicity caused by oral administration.
