Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection can rarely lead to serious cardiac complications and life-threatening arrhythmias. We present a case of a 46-year-old male patient who developed VZV myocarditis and presented with recurrent syncopal episodes followed by a cardiac arrest. He had a further collapse eight years later, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated mild mid-wall bas...

The water soluble benzodiazepine derivative, midazolam, is used almost exclusively at our institution to produce sedation for numerous surgical procedures. Mild arterial oxygen desaturation has been reported in patients who have received as little as .04 mg/kg. A time series design study was undertaken to determine if there was any correlation between the decline in arterial oxygen percent satu...

Plasma and Red Cell Radioiron following Intravenous Injection

Sterile inflammation induced by repeated subcutaneous injections of turpentine in non-anemic, non-iron-deficient dogs, leads to a fall in plasma iron concentration, the development of a moderate anemia, and a marked delay in the uptake by the red blood cells of intravenous radioiron.
