Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and diabetes mellitus are common medical conditions frequently associated with a hypercoagulable state. Acidaemia has been shown to reduce coagulation. COPD and diabetes mellitus during acute deterioration can present with a severe acidaemia. The impact of this acidaemia on coagulation is poorly studied. Patients presenting with a diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis or type II respiratory failure from COPD and a pH of less than 7.2 were included in our study. A coagulation screen and a thromboelastograph (TEG) were performed on admission and 24 hours later. The mean pH on admission was 7.07 and mean base excess was -16.3. The activated partial thromboplastin time was associated with pH change but remained within the normal range (26-41 s). All other coagulation and TEG parameters failed to show evidence of association (p>0.05). In the two models of non-haemorrhagic acidosis investi...

In general, monitoring of anticoagulant activity is not required, however, certain populations may be susceptible to overdosing or underdosing. As anti-activated factor X(anti-Xa) activity testing is not readily available, it was our aim to investigate the usefulness of thromboelastography (TEG; Haemoscope Corporation, Skokie, Illinois, USA) for the assessment of coagulation in patients on LMWH. All patients admitted to the coronary care unit on therapeutic dose of enoxaparin were included (1 mg/kg twice daily). Blood samples were collected 4 h after the morning dose of enoxaparin once the participant had received at least three doses. When anti-Xa activity was classified as low (0-0.5), correct (0.5-1.0) or high (>1.0), the distribution of reaction time (R) and dose per kg showed little association with anti-Xa activity. The difference between mean R for the high anti-Xa group and the correct anti-Xa group was statistically nonsignificant using two-sample t-test (P U 0.26). A linear regression model showed no evidence of association between dose per kg and anti-Xa (P U 0.95). However, there was evidence of positive association between dose per kg and R (P U 0.011) wherein a 10% increase in dose per kg was associated with an increase in R of 2.7 (95% confidence interval 0.6-4.7). There was no evidence of association between R and anti-Xa (P U 0.38). TEG was unable to be used to predict anti-Xa activity. However, TEG R was prolonged in more than 90% patients and correlated with dose of enoxaparin. As enoxaparin dose correlated poorly with anti-Xa activity, a more global test might be necessary to adjust dosing of LMWH in sick, hospitalized patients.

Wave-lengths and frequency separations of the fine-structure components of 173 spectral lines in ... more Wave-lengths and frequency separations of the fine-structure components of 173 spectral lines in singly ionized praseodymium are given. It appears, as may be seen from a reproduction of some of the fine-structure, Fig. 1, that each group of six fine-structure lines has the same general appearance but varies in total intensity and width. In some lines given below the intensities and frequency separations within each group decrease toward the red, while all of the rest show similar degradation toward the violet. Theoretical interpretation. These fine structures may be accounted for by assigning an angular momentum, i=(52)(h2π) to the nucleus of the praseodymium atom. This angular momentum space quantized with the total angular momentum of the outside electrons, J, yields for each energy level six components (provided J>=52), the actual separations between which are given by the strength of coupling between i and J. Since a 6p electron in the atom of praseodymium is part of the time very close to the nucleus and part of the time outside of all of the other electrons, the strength of coupling for an electron configuration involving a single 6s electron should be very much greater than that for a 6s electron and still greater than that for a 5d or a 4f electron. According to the Bohr-Stoner scheme of the building up of the elements one should expect, and the fine-structure intervals confirm this, that practically all of the energy levels in Pr II have very large J values.

Primary cardiac and neurologic involvement in dengue infection has been rarely described in the medical literature and the pathophysiology is poorly understood. A rare and fatal case of primary dengue infection in a 34-yearold woman who returned from Papua New Guinea is reported; the unusual features of this case include severe primary dengue infection, myocarditis, and acute cerebral oedema resulting in death. This case demonstrates that severe atypical manifestations and fatality can occur with primary dengue infection.
