[Constraints on publication rights in industry-initiated clinical trials--secondary publication].
In 22 of 44 industry-initiated clinical trial protocols from 1994-95, it was noted that the sponsor either owned the data or needed to approve the manuscript; another 18 protocols had other constraints. Furthermore, in 16 trials, the sponsor had access to accumulating data, and in an additional 16 trials the sponsor could stop the trial at any time, for any reason. ⋯ We found similar constraints on publication rights in 44 protocols from 2004. This tight sponsor control over industry-initiated trials should be changed.

Case Reports[Deep venous thrombosis caused by severe infection with group A streptococci].
A 38-year-old diabetic woman presented with a deep venous thrombosis of the right calf muscle two weeks after an infection of the pharynx. After one week of treatment with warfarin, she was readmitted in septic shock with a massive swelling of the leg. The thrombosis had progressed to the right iliac and femoral veins, and an abscess of the iliopsoas muscle caused by group A streptococci was detected. The treatment consisted of surgical drainage, intravenous penicillin and eventually hip joint exarticulation.
