Comparative StudySedatives used in pediatric imaging: comparison of IV pentobarbital with IV pentobarbital with midazolam added.
This study was designed to evaluate safety, efficacy, and success of adding IV midazolam to an established IV pentobarbital protocol for pediatric sedation for radiologic imaging. Outcomes included sedation and discharge times as well as adverse events ⋯ Midazolam does not have a beneficial effect on pentobarbital sedation and has no effect on the rate of adverse events. The prolonged time needed both to sedate and to discharge (timed from the initial dose of sedation) pediatric patients who have received midazolam should discourage physicians from combining it with pentobarbital for pediatric sedation.

Sonohysterography for evaluation of the endometrium in women treated with tamoxifen.
This study was performed to evaluate sonohysterography for the diagnosis of endometrial abnormalities in women treated with tamoxifen. ⋯ Sonohysterography aids the diagnosis of endometrial abnormalities in tamoxifen-treated women even if prior endometrial biopsies have negative findings. In 14% of cases, visualization of a normal endometrium on sonohysterography obviated surgery.
