Comparative Study Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical Trial[Cerebrovascular reactivity to CO2 during general anesthesia maintained with either isoflurane-N2O or propofol-N2O. A comparative study by transcranial Doppler velocimetry].
To compare, using transcranial doppler velocimetry (TDV), the cerebral blood flow velocity and CO2 reactivity during general anaesthesia maintained with either isoflurane-N2O-O2(IF) or propofol-N2O-O2 (PF) in adults with a normal brain. ⋯ During anaesthesia maintained with either isoflurane-N2O-O2 or propofol-N2O-O2, a change in PetCO2 results in similar changes in VS and VD. These anaesthetic agents preserve the cerebrovascular reactivity of the normal brain. The results of this study are in accordance with those obtained with other reference techniques in healthy volunteers. Transcranial doppler velocimetry can be a useful noninvasive tool of clinical research in neuroanaesthesia.

Clinical Trial[Continuous administration of mivacurium for short procedures. Delayed onset and recovery from neuromuscular blockade].
To assess the delays of onset and spontaneous recovery from neuromuscular block produced by mivacurium administered by continuous infusion for short procedure requiring a deep relaxation. ⋯ Mivacurium in continuous infusion provides rapidly a deep and stable neuromuscular blockade followed by a rapid spontaneous restoration of neuromuscular transmission in patients with normal pseudocholinesterases.

Case Reports[Clostridium perfringens septicemia associated with foodborne toxic infection and abortion].
A 32-year-old pregnant woman with poor life and hygiene conditions presented with premature labour, fever and diarrhoea. After admission she gave birth to a stillborn child. ⋯ The outcome was favourable after an adapted antibiomicrobial therapy. This case illustrates the potential severity of Clostridium perfringens foodborne toxi-infection which can lead to abortion and septicaemia with massive haemolysis.
