Correlation between postmortem ethanol levels in the blood and the testicle. A computerized study of 633 determinations.

This study emphasizes the value of the presence of ethanol in the testicle. It proves particularly useful in cases where blood and urine are no more present in the body. In 633 cases where blood or urine were still available, a highly positive correlation between the blood, alcohol and the amount of alcohol present in the testicle could be demonstrated, thus confirming the research carried out in the Department of Legal Medicine as far back as 1943. An attempt is further made to assess the possible influence of such factors as putrefaction, submersion or post-traumatic anemia on this correlation.

Thallium intoxication treated with combined hemoperfusion-hemodialysis.

A 32-year-old woman who ingested thallium sulfate was treated with combined hemoperfusion-hemodialysis. Classical therapy, including Prussian Blue, was also administered. The clearance rate of the hemoperfusion and hemodialysis were 139 and 47 mL/min, respectively. The efficiencies of these different methods were compared with each other and with the classical methods. It was concluded that hemoperfusion was the most efficient technique in extracting thallium sulfate. The combined hemoperfusion-hemodialysis procedure is proposed for the treatment of severe intoxications with thallium sulfate.
