Cardiac Complications in Amitriptyline Poisoning: Successful Treatment With Physostigmine
Type A botulism from commercially canned beef stew.
Two of three persons who ate lunch together became ill with symptoms characteristic of botulism. One died before botulism was suspected and before specimens could be collected for laboratory testing, but a serum specimen from the other patient, who survived, yielded botulinal toxin, type A.

Comparison of noninvasive with hemodynamic data in patients with pulmonary hypertension due to chronic obstructive pulmo...
Twenty-one patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were studied with right heart catheterization. The mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) was compared with several noninvasive tests. The pulmonary lobar diameter/thoracic ratio correlated with the PAP, r = 0.677, P less than 0.01. The oxygen saturation and pH were used to derive a calcu...
