Case ReportsSuspected anaphylactoid shock to aminocaproic acid (plaslloid) during operation.
Epsilon-aminocaproic acid (plaslloid) is one of the most common hemostatics used perioperatively. Although some minor untoward effects in association with its use are not uncommon, the incidence of anaphylactoid shock is extremely rare, especially in a patient under general anesthesia. ⋯ She was successfully resuscitated with prompt volume expansion and epinephrine injection. Our experience in the management of this patient is, hereunder, reported and discussed.

[Detection of the safety depth on human chest by computer tomographic scanning].
Knowledges of acupuncture has played a major role in the treatment of human diseases, and has been mentioned in ancient Chinese medical literature for thousands of years. The loci which are most commonly used as treatment sites are points on the Ren Channel, kidney Channel, Stomach Channel, Pericardium Channel, Lung Channel, Spleen Channel and Gallbladder Channel for those loci on the human chest, insertion depth beyond safety level, can create serious consequences other such as pneumothorax, internal organ bleeding or other damage. This study was designed to determine the real safety depth for each locus by using a current scientific approach. ⋯ The analysis of variance (ANOVA), t-test, and multiple regression were also calculated by computer. The results show that there are significant differences in body chest loci within the same sex but, for different body sizes, statistically significant differences for each locus appear, so the safety depth for each chest locus has actually been proved. Not only does his data provide useful information for clinical practices, but also the standard safety depth for each loci on the chest could this be established.
