Aneurysms of peripheral pulmonary arteries are uncommon. It may appear as a coinlesion in a plain chest film. In general, a popular and effective method for pathologic diagnosis of solitary lung lesion is needle aspiration biopsy, a technique which is safe in most instances. Also, ultrasonograhic or fluoroscopic methods are needed for the evaluation of this lesion. If pulmonary artery aneurysm is untreated, the prognosis of this disease is poor. Sixty percents of the patients with pulmonary artery aneurysm died following rupture of the aneurysm. Surgical correction is the preferred treatment. We are reporting a case of pulmonary aneurysm with the review of literature.

Seven constructs of sanitary management :time temperature, storage, cross-contamination, personal hygiene, equipment facility and documentation management were evaluated to investigate the perceived performance of sanitary management for school food service managers, Using a four-part questionnaire containing the seven constructs of sanitary management HACCP program, demographic information and characteristics of food service facilities participants rated their self-perceptions regarding sanitary management. Of the 550 possible respondents, 248(45.1%) completed the study. For the perceived sanitary manage-ment variables, the participants rated them between 2.66 and 4.16(5-point Likert scale). Temperature management presented the lowest performances while storage management showed the highest. The number of years of work experience of the food service managers and the serving location correlated significantly to sanitary management variables. Documentation management was also highly correlated to the other sanitary management constructs. The respondents ranked the managers leadership and professional knowledge regrading HACCP as most important, followed by the facilitys supporting equipment and human resources second, to successfully implement the HACCP system at the school food service facilites, Awareness of this study indicating low performance on temperature management suggests an active training program is needed for sanitary management of school food service.

In our department we selected 52 patients in ASA Class I, aged from 20 to 60 years old undergoing operation of lower limbs and lower abdomen, lasting 1 to 2 hours of duration. They were divided into 2 groups, group A (30 patients) using 0.5% hyperbaric Tcaine 13 mg (2.6 ml), group B (22 patiens) using 0.25% hyperbaric bupivacaine 10 mg (4 ml), which were injected into intrathecal space. Sensory loss level was significantly higher in group A than in group B. The time taken for the block to reach maximum level was significantly faster in group B. Analgesic duration was significantly shorter in group B. In group B, onset of motor blockade was significantly slower and also, the total duration was significantly shorter. In group A, significant decrease of diastolic and systolic blood presssure were noted. Hyperbaric 0.25% bupivacaine can be used for short timed operation of lower limbs and lower abdomen without changes of cardiovascular system.

Endocarditis due to anaerobes is not a rare ocurrence. However, Clostridial endocarditis, most cases are caused by Clostridium perfringens, is an uncommon disease. Clostridium are gram positive spore forming obligate anaerobes that are found widely in soil, water, and foods. They naturally inhabit the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and female genital tract. We observed a case of Clostridium perfringens endocarditis in a 67 years old woman. Who experienced fever, chronic diarrhea and vegetation in the aortic valve.

BACKGROUND: Epidural and intravenous administration of opioids had been commonly used for postoperative pain management in thoracoscopic surgery. Recently, interpleural analgesia was frequently used. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of an intravenous continuous infusion of fentanyl (F-IV) with interpleural bupivacaine (B-IP) using a continuous infusion system in the management of post-thoracoscopic pain. METHODS: An interpleural continuous infusion of bupivacaine (B-IP group: basal infusion 7(ng/kg/min) was compared with an intravenous continuous infusion of fentanyl (F-IV group: basal infusion 0.33ng/ kg/hr) in forty patients who had undergone elective thoracoscopic surgery. During the postoperative 48 hours, the visual analogue scale (VAS), Prince-Henry score (PHS), heart rate, respiratory rate and peripheral oxygen saturation were measured. RESULTS: The postoperative heart rate in both groups was significantly higher than the preoperative value (P < 0.05 1 h and 4 h after operation), but there were no differences in the respiratory rate and peripheral oxygen saturation between the two groups. There were significant improvement of the degree of pain in VAS and PHS after administration of the analgesic, but there was no significant differences in the two groups during 48 hours. The incidence of adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, urinary difficulty and respiratory depression was higher in the F-IV than the B-IP group. CONCLUSIONS: The interpleural continuous infusion of local anesthetics and intravenous continuous infusion of fentanyl provided effective analgesia in this study. The side effects were significantly lower in the interpleural continuous infusion of local anesthetics than intravenous continuous infusion of fentanyl. Therefore, interpleural continuous infusion of local anesthetics could be a useful alternative for postoperative analgesia after thoracoscopic surgery.

Propofol is a rapidly acting intravenous anesthetic agent used for the induction of anesthesia, with a low incidence of side effects. But pain on injection of propofol has limited its use. The additional effect of lidocaine on painful injection of propofol was studied, during induction of general anesthesia in 75 patients in a prospective, randomized method. They were allocated randomly to three groups to receive propofol 2.0 mg/kg(group A), propofol 2.0 mg/kg with lidocaine 0.2 mg/kg(group B), propofol 2.0 mg/kg with lidocaine 0.3 mg/kg(group C). Pain score was assessed on a simple scale graded from 0 (no pain) to 3 (severe pain). Mean arterial blood pressure and heart rate were monitored at 1, 3, 5, 7 minutes after endotracheal intubation. In group B and C, significantly smaller pain score was observed. On the other hand, changes of mean arterial blood pressure and heart rate after endotracheal intubation was not significant. It is concluded that the addition of small amount of lidocaine can significantly reduce the severity of pain on injection of propofol.
