Review[The interactions of vitamins B1, B6 and B12 with non-steroidal antirheumatic and analgesic drugs: animal experiment results].
B-vitamins are therapeutically used in combination with nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs and weak analgesics. The animal experiments dealing with the antinociceptive and antiinflammatory activity of such combinations are reviewed with reference to the significance of the single vitamins B1, B6, and B12, the possible mechanisms of action, and the relevance of the animal data to man.

Review Multicenter Study Clinical Trial[Anesthetics responsible for anaphylactic shock. A French multicenter study].
Combined allergological and anaesthetic consultations have been started in the last few years in eight French Teaching Hospitals so as to explore peranaesthetic anaphylactoid shocks. A survey was carried out in these centers in order to collect patients investigated with the same protocol, for the assessment of the incidence of anaphylaxis in France, as well as the involved drugs. Investigations were always carried out at least 6 to 8 weeks after the accident. ⋯ It would therefore seem mandatory to carry out after any anaphylactoid accident an assessment with sensitive and specific tests for anaphylaxis. Diagnosing anaphylaxis means that the involved drug should be used never again in that patient. Because muscle relaxants are by far the most involved drugs, anaesthetists should use them only when really required.
