A study of the use of atracurium in minor and major surgery.
Seventy patients were administered Atracurium, during six months from November, 1986 to April, 1987, for muscle relaxation during minor to major surgery. Age range was between 16-75 years with an average of 45. No premedication was used. Induction was with 2.5%, Sodium Pentothal and maintenance with gas, oxygen and halothane. Sixty one (87%) patients had good surgical relaxation. Two (2.85%) adequate and seven (10%) had poor relaxation. Major complications were bradycardia, eleven (15.7%) patients and bronchospasm (12.8%) nine patients. Sixty three (90%) had spontaneous recovery. Atracurium was found to be a safe muscle relaxant with an added advantage of elimination by Hoffman's reaction.

Juvenile type of chronic myeloid leukaemia in a four year old boy.
Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a rare disease in children. Three varieties of CML occur in childhood. Juvenile (Infantile), adult and familial types, each with distinct clinical and laboratory findings. Prognosis of all these types of CML in childhood is uniformly bad. The mean survival of a juvenile CML is 9 months and that of adult variety is 2.5 years. The adult form of childhood CML responds to therapy, but the patient succumbs to the disease during the blast crisis. Various modalities of treatments are being tried in the juvenile CML without any beneficial effect. We report a case of juvenile CML with characteristic findings in a four year old boy.
