Experiences with intrathecal morphine analgesia in 36 patients undergoing Wertheim-Held hysterectomy are reported. Postoperative painrelief, bloodgas-parameters (pO2, pCO2, pH, SBE, SAT), analgetica demand, side-effects are compared with 23 patients of a control group. 95% of patients with intrathecal morphine analgesia were postoperatively without pain for at least 24 hours. The postoperative demand of analgetic drugs could be reduced to less than 50% in the first 48 postoperative hours. Besides not significant decreasing of the pH-value no changing of the bloodgases was observed. The incidence of nausea, vomiting and headache were not increased. Considering the not in all cases avoidable development of a respiration insufficiency even after a little dosis of morphine this method seems to be a suitable treatment of postoperative pain which enables the early mobilisation of the patients.

In order to verify the frequency of human brucellosis among a TB suspected population, a study was conducted on the basis of sero-diagnosis of a total of 229 blood samples from TB suspected patients. Serological tests carried out were slide and semi-quantitative agglutination tests. Of the tested samples, 44 (19.21%) were SAT positive and of these, 28 (12.23%) were positive for the semiquantitative agglutination test. Twelve (42.86%) had a brucella titer of 1:80; 14 (50%) had a brucella titer of 1:160 and 2 (7.14%) had a titer of 1:320. The majority of patients positive for brucellosis, exhibiting sero-agglutination titers ranging between 1:40 and 1:320, were of rural background. However, 35.72% persons positive for brucella antibody with titer of 1:160 were from urban localities. Fever (84.48%), headache/dizziness (71.43%) and weakness/fatigue (46.43%) were the most common presenting symptoms among the brucellosis positive patients. The frequency of brucellosis among these TB suspected patients was found to be higher in women (73.91%), as compared to men (52.38%).

Postpartum spontaneous cervicocephalic artery dissection is an uncommon, poorly understood condition following pregnancy. We report a case of a 32-year-old woman with no history of trauma, chiropractic manipulation, connective tissue disorder, or previous headache who developed a mild, unilateral headache 7 days after the uneventful delivery of her third child (no general or neuraxial anesthesia was delivered). Seven days latter she presented to our emergency department complaining of recurrent episodes of right-sided headache coupled with a transient episode of sensory deficits in her left lower limb. Brain magnetic resonance imaging disclosed small infarctions in the internal watershed distribution of right internal carotid artery (ICA). Carotid artery dissection was diagnosed using DSA and T1 FAT-SAT sequences for the depiction of intramural hematoma. The patient was placed under oral anticoagulation and remained asymptomatic during a follow-up period of 6 months. The present case report highlights that cervicocephalic artery dissection is a condition that should be looked for in women with persisting or remitting unilateral headache following childbirth.
