The intravenous anaesthetic Althesin may be administered by continuous intravenous infusion for maintenance of general anaesthesia, sedation in patients in intensive care units or during investigational procedures. Published reports of experience with this technique are reviewed, with particular attention to the rates of administration employed and the influence of other anaesthetics and analgesic agents used concurrently.
The radiographic features of acromesomelic dysplasia are presented, along with a summary of pertinent clinical features. They are thought to allow a diagnosis in affected individuals over six months of age. Since the condition has an autosomal recessive mode of genetic transmission and results in extremely short stature, the establishment of the diagnosis has practical importance.

To compare findings in a hospital trial of hypotensive drugs with those in a general practice trial several patients with mild hypertension were studied at the same time in hospital and in general practice. They received bendrofluazide and potassium chloride or bendrofluazide, potassium chloride, and reserpine according to a double-blind crossover protocol, and blood biochemical values were studied over eight weeks and six months. When reserpine was withdrawn from nine women they followed a modified protocol comparing bendrofluazide and potassium chloride with potassium chloride alone. The blood pressure values measured by the general practitioners were similar to those measured in hospital. Both the diuretic alone and the diuretic with reserpine produced significant falls in blood pressures. Although plasma renin activity increased on diuretic treatment, continued treatment did not produce a further increase, and levels gradually declined towards normal.
