(1943) reports a transient hemiplegia in a case of ligature of the common carotid and jugular vein which (owing to the onset of pneumonia) had to be sat up 48 hours after operation. The jugular vein was not tied in any Qf the three cases done at this hospital. Facilities for arterial suture are seldom available in forward hospitals and most war wounds are not suitable for this procedure. The va...

The methods of analysis for sulphonamide residues in edible animal products are reviewed. Sulphonamides are widely used for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes in both humans and animals, sometimes as growth promoters as additives in animal feed. As a result of their widespread use, there is concern about whether the levels used of these drugs can generate serious problems in human health, e....

Synthesis of 2,3- and 3,4-cyclopentenopyridines, 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolines and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroisoquinolines from 1,2,4-triazine derivatives is reported. Introduction of an alpha-functionalized methyl substituent (e.g. arylsulphonyl, sulphonamide, sulphonic acid ester) into position 3- or 6- of triazines by vicarious nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen and subsequent alkylation with alky...

Large number of cases of cholera occur every year in Calcutta and many of them are admitted in the isolation ward of the Nilratan Sarkar Medical College Hospitals (table I). Mortality of cases is higher during epidemic years. Total number of deaths in Greater Calcutta and those due to clinical cholera in different years are given in table II (Ahmad, 1948-49). Up till now the main line of treatm...

Aerococcus urinae is often misclassified in routine diagnostic laboratories. A. urinae shares features with staphylococci, streptococci and enterococci as the bacterium grows in clusters, displays a-haemolysis when grown on blood agar, and is resistant to sulphonamide. We report here, a case study of A. urinae, which initially was misdiagnosed. Identification and susceptibility testing were per...

' contemporary classic' was issued and many things have happened in the pharmacological field during these three years. The author apologises in the preface for the inadequacy of the treatment of the new subjects; the chapter on the sulphonamide group is admittedly short, but it provides an excellent outline, and, as the scene is changing so rapidly, detail would run the danger of becoming out ...
