It affords easier patient transfer and facilitates patient examination and treatments.

Field-expedient gynecologic examination table.

In field operational environments, the gynecologic health needs of women may be difficult to provide because of the lack of a small, lightweight, durable, inexpensive gynecologic examination table. Such a table already exists, in pieces, in the inventory of most field-deploying units of battalion aid station size or larger. Because the table's existence is not commonly known, we describe the assembly and use of this field-expedient gynecologic examination table.

Sudden unexpected infantile death (SUD) of a healthy boy occurring on the doctor's examining table at a well baby clinic.

The child described was 1 year 1 month, and was well developed and healthy. He underwent SUD following the doctor's examination in the presence of the doctor, nurse and mother. The case terminated fatally despite adequate resuscitation. The post mortem examination did not reveal the cause of death. The authors feel that the case supports their previously presented hypothesis of infant neurocirculatory dystony as the cause of SUD. When the infant mortality drops below 15% SUD remains as one of the chief causes of infant death.

[The value of tilt-table examination in diagnosis of syncope: studies of 24 patients].

Sudden hypotension, alone or combined with bradycardia is a major cause of syncope. 24 consecutive patients with a history of > 1 syncope of unknown aetiology were exposed to vagal provocation by the head-up tilt test. The clinical symptoms were reproduced in 11 patients under the given protocol, representing a sensitivity of 46%. The patients were followed up for 13.2 +/- 5.3 months. 7 of the 11 patients (64%) with a positive result on tilting versus 2 of the 13 patients (15%) with a negative result had a relapse of syncope. There was no statistical difference between the groups with regard to the number of syncopal episodes before patients were included in the study. Syncope in the head-up tilt test is, thus, a pointer towards identifying with a higher incidence of syncope on follow-up.
