Therapeutic hysteroscopy.

Abstract

It is the responsibility of physicians in gatherings such as ours to set the tone and speak forthrightly about accomplishments and limitations. The fundamentals of diagnostic hysteroscopy are well known and now is the time for us to push forward to ascertain whether this endoscopic approach, in selected patients, is more innocuous than the conventional laparotomy. I have tried to indicate the clinician's dilemma in the search for the proper approach to several types of uterine abnormalities. As enthusiastic hysteroscopists, we must continue to analyze and document our findings, with careful concern so as to avoid poorly substantiated claims.

Immune heparin-induced thrombocytopenia resulting from preceding exposure to heparin catheter flushes.

Immune heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a life-threatening adverse effect of heparin. It can result from any type of heparin exposure and by any route of administration; however only a few cases are reported after exposures to small quantities of heparin from catheter flushes. The major clinical problem associated with HIT is thrombosis. Early detection and institution of alternative, non-heparin anticoagulation are important. We report a patient with HIT associated with use of therapeutic-dose unfractionated heparin in whom immune sensitization to heparin was triggered by two 500-unit exposure to UFH associated with intravascular catheter flushing for antineoplastic chemotherapy in a patient with colon adenocarcinoma.
