The spectrum of nitrofurantoin lung injury continues to widen. The case histories are presented of two patients who developed lung disease associated with the use of nitrofurantoin with histological features of bronchiolitis obliterans organising pneumonia (BOOP), a rare but recognised form of drug induced injury. The two middle aged women presented with respiratory symptoms after prolonged tre...

Primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) is defined as continuing increase of the blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries without any known reason. The expected incidence in Western Europe is one to two per one million inhabitants, which in Denmark is around five to ten new cases each year. The diagnosis PPH is established by excluding other known reasons for secondary pulmonary hypertension. Prim...

Primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) is a progressive disease characterised by raised pulmonary vascular resistance, which results in diminished right-heart function due to increased right ventricular afterload. PPH occurs most commonly in young and middle-aged women; mean survival from onset of symptoms is 2-3 years. The aetiology of PPH is unknown, although familial disease accounts for rough...

[Rh(CO)2Cl] 2 reacts with 1,3-diphenylcyclopentadienyl sodium or tetraphenylcyclopentadienyl sodium with formation of (l,3-P h2C5H3)Rh(CO ) 2 (1) or (C5HPh4)Rh(CO )2 (2), respectively. The reaction of 1 or 2 with PPh3 yields the corresponding carbonyl(cyclopentadienyl)(triphenylphosphane)rhodium complexes (l,3 -P h 2C5H3)Rh(CO)(PPh3) (3) or (C5HPh4)Rh(CO)(PPh3) (4). The 'H and ' C reported and ...
