Review Historical Article[Homeopathy--the past or a part of future medicine?].
The exact mechanism for the effect of homeopathic remedies is still an enigma. Research shows in vitro effects of homeopathy, as well as differences between the effects of simple dilutions and so called homeopathic potencies. Some of the (relevant) publications are widely disputed. ⋯ However, some good quality studies do show an effect of homeopathic medicine. We therefore recommend further studies and propose a model for study design. No serious side effects have been reported from homeopathic medicine.

Case Reports[Cerebral air embolism after percutaneous lung puncture].
Cerebral air embolism is a rare but serious complication to percutaneous transthoracic fine needle aspiration of the lung. A case is described after puncture of a tumour in the right lung with a 0.6 mm needle. The patient developed paralysis of the upper and lower extremities on his left side, probably due to an air embolism in the right middle cerebral artery. He was fully restituted after early hyperbaric treatment with oxygen.
