Telephone assessment of illness by 40 practicing pediatricians was studied using simulated complaints of cough, vomiting, diarrhea, or rash. Of a possible 370 standardized questions based on the American Academy of Pediatrics "Guidelines for telephone communications," only 194 were used. Crucial questions such as difficulty breathing with cough, the state of hydration in diarrhea, the character of the eruption in rash, or the presence of abdominal pain with vomiting were asked less than 50% of the time. Pediatricians in practice for fewer than five years requested more information and spent more time on the telephone than did those with greater than five years' experience.

124 Rhesus monkeys (Macaca Mulatta) were caught in the Taihang Mountain region, a high incidence area of human esophageal cancer in Northern China, in January 1989. Among them, two monkeys died of esophageal carcinoma in 1990. Case 1, a male monkey about 6.5 years old and weighing 14.5 kg, had symptoms of salivation, vomiting and dysphagia in February 1990. The symptoms became gradually more serious and died in March 1990. Postmortem examination revealed a huge tumor in the distal segment of esophagus, causing severe stricture of the organ. The tumor was classified as medullary type and histopathologically diagnosed as a well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, with metastases to mediastinum and lymph nodes of right gastric group. Case 2, a female monkey about 11-year-old and weighing 10.0 kg, showed loss of appetite, tiredness, somnolence, coughing and vomiting in September and died in December 1990. Autopsy revealed an annular tumor involving the whole circumference of lower portion of the esophagus. The tumor was of ulcerative type and diagnosed as a well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. The symptoms and pathological changes of the two monkeys showed high similarity to esophageal cancer in humans. We believe that the present findings would provide important leads for further study to clarify the etiology and pathogenesis of human esophageal cancer in this high incidence area of esophageal cancer.

The clinical presentation, complications and sensitivity pattern was studied in 30 cases of enteric fever. Fever was the main presenting feature in all. Other associated predominant presenting feature were vomiting in 15 (50%), Loose motion 9 (30%), Cough 6 (20%), headache 4 (13.33%) and altered sensorium in 2 (6.66%). The various complications observed during hospital stay were myocarditis 5 (6.16%), Paralytic ileus 2 (6.66%), Pneumonia 1 (3.33%) and Joint effusion in 2 (6.66%) cases respectively. In laboratory parameters-mild elevation of blood urea and SGOT/SGPT were detected in 1st week, which returned to normal in 2-3 weeks time. In vitro sensitivity of organism isolated (24 cases) were as follow--Chloramphenicol 7 (29.16%), Ampicillin 8 (33.33%), Gentamicin 22 (91.66%), Amikacin 24 (100%), Cefotaxime 22 (91.66%), Ciprofloxacin 24 (100%), and Ofloxacin 24 (100%). Clinical response to Ofloxacin and Ciprofloxacin was 100%, and fever subsided in 3-5 days.

Foreign bodies aspirated into respiratory tract may produce severe lung damage and threaten life. We have analysed retrospectively symptoms, physical findings, chest roentgenograms and bronchoscopy reports in 20 children with foreign body aspiration. Boys dominated in this group. Foreign body aspiration often accompanied by coughing, wheezing and vomiting. In chest X-ray examination it was revealed unilateral body trapping and obstructive emphysema. Foreign body aspiration should be considered in children with prolonged respiratory tract problems even when no adequate history is present and with negative chest roentgenograms.

A role of nutrients in the onset of migraine and other gastrointestinal symptoms (vomiting, nausea, diarrhoea), skin reactions (rush, atopic dermatitis, Quincke'a edema), respiratory symptoms (bronchial asthma, cough, allergic rhinitis, polyps, congestion of the nasal mucosa), motion system disorders (jointache and edema), gynecological disorders (chronic and recurrent adnexitis), and sleep disorders together with emotional tension and behavioral disturbances has been assessed in 17 patients with atopy. Migraine attacks have been produced most frequently by cow milk (in 10 out of 17 patients), cabbage, flour and eggs in 5 patients, preservatives, cottage and Swiss cheese, porcine meat in 4 patients, colorants and chocolate in 3 patients, beef, strawberries, lemons and butter in 2 patients. Other nutrients produced headache in single patients. Migraine and other symptoms have diminished after an individual elimination diet. Recurrence has been noted after each consumption of allergen except one female patient with EEG abnormalities. Immunoglobulins E have been involved in headache-producing mechanism in 3 patients.

A case of life-threatening adverse effects following intravenous administration of a non-ionic contrast medium is reported. The patient, a 68-year-old diabetic hypertensive male with dyspnoea and cough had an abnormal chest radiograph, revealing congestive heart failure and an enlarged right hilum. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest was performed using 100 cm3 of intravenous iopamidol. Within half an hour the patient developed abdominal cramping, vomiting, and diarrhoea, followed by hypotension, tachycardia, fever to 40 degrees C, and delirium. His course was complicated by disseminated intravascular coagulation, rhabdomyolysis, renal failure, respiratory arrest, and atrial fibrillation. There was no evidence of infection, neoplastic disease, or myocardial infarction. Over the next month the patient slowly recovered. One other case report implicates a contrast agent with a similar syndrome. The features of this case fulfil the criteria for a probable adverse drug reaction of a type and severity rarely encountered.

The experience gained with awake tracheal intubation in 39 urgent surgical patients at risk of gastric contents aspiration is presented. After standard premedication fentanyl (4.5 micrograms/kg) was injected, local anesthesia of the root of the tongue, epiglottis and vocal cords was performed with 10% lidocaine spray, rohipnol (0.032 mg/kg) and muscular relaxants were administered and controlled lung ventilation was started. Four patients had vomiting, in 5 patients fentanyl caused muscular restraint. No failures have been observed. Indications for awake tracheal intubation and drawbacks of fentanyl injections are discussed. Awake tracheal intubation prevented effectively aspiration due to retention of coughing and guttural reflexes.

We present a 3-yr-old girl with coarctation of aorta and patent ductus arteriosus in whom mycotic aneurysm and bacterial endarteritis developed postoperatively and was diagnosed by two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiography. Five weeks after the operation of ligation of ductus and resection of coarctated segment, the patient was readmitted with complaints of vomiting, fever and coughing. Bacterial endarteritis, empyema and septic arthritis were diagnosed. Suprasternal echocardiographic examination demonstrated an aneurysmatic appearance 60 x 65 mm in size at the location of coarctation. The patient died, most probably due to aortic rupture, before surgical treatment could be undertaken. Autopsy study confirmed our diagnosis.

Thirty patients, scheduled for short urological surgical procedures and ranked ASA 1 or 2, were randomly assigned to two homogenous groups. In group P, they were given a 2 mg.kg-1 bolus of propofol and 10 micrograms.kg-1 of alfentanil, followed by a continuous infusion of propofol (5 mg.kg-1.h-1) and 5 micrograms.kg-1 doses of alfentanil. In group E, they were given a 0.3 mg.kg-1 bolus of etomidate, followed by an infusion (1.5 mg.kg-1.h-1). The doses of alfentanil were the same as in group P. Further doses of either propofol (0.5 mg.kg-1) or etomidate (0.2 mg.kg-1) were used should anaesthesia prove not to be deep enough. The patients were not intubated, and breathed spontaneously. Surgery lasted a mean of 18.3 +/- 11.8 min (group P) and 18.8 +/- 9.4 min (group E). The following parameters were studied: the amount of each agent required for maintenance of anaesthesia, the duration of apnoea at induction, the quality of anaesthesia and of muscle relaxation, adverse effects (coughing, trismus, restlessness, nausea, vomiting), the time required for recovery, and its quality. In group P, there was a 27% decrease in arterial pressure, without any tachycardia or hypoxia, together with a quick recovery of excellent quality. On the other hand, in group E, there was little or no haemodynamic alteration, but there often was a trismus at induction. Hypoxia also occurred during induction with etomidate, being severe enough in one case to require tracheal intubation and artificial ventilation. The reasons for this hypoxia seemed to be the apnoea and the trismus, which tends to hinder assisted ventilation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

In decerebrate, paralyzed, and ventilated cats, we recorded the activity of 100 spontaneously active phrenic motor axons during the increased phrenic discharges characteristic of fictive vomiting (FV) and coughing (FC). During control respiratory cycles, approximately one-half the neurons were recruited in the first decile of inspiration; recruitment continued throughout inspiration. During FV, the duration of phrenic discharge was halved; 20 of 26 motoneurons studied were recruited in the first decile of the burst. During FC, recruitment times did not change compared with control, although the duration of the phrenic burst doubled. Discharge frequencies increased and recruitment order of phrenic motoneurons was virtually unaffected during FC and FV. Limited recruitment of previously inactive neurons in the filaments from which we recorded was found during FV and FC. During FV, 1 previously inactive motoneuron was recruited in 16 filaments containing 25 spontaneously active motor axons. During FC, 3 new motoneurons were recruited in addition to the 64 already active in 35 filaments. Recruitment during FV and FC was absent even when recording from filaments known, on the basis of antidromic activation, to contain inactive motor axons. During FV, 10 of 26 motoneurons began their discharges with doublets (interspike interval < 10 ms); doublets occurred in only 4 of 67 motoneurons during FC. Already active phrenic motoneurons contributed to the intense phrenic activity associated with both respiratory (coughing) and nonrespiratory (vomiting) behavior by increases in discharge frequency, earlier recruitment, and doublets; the contribution of previously quiescent motoneurons remains uncertain.
