Cardiac arrhythmia during chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
Repeated bouts of ventricular tachycardia were triggered by the inflow of dialysate during acute peritoneal dialysis performed in a 79-year-old woman. Subsequent continuous Holter monitoring of 21 patients, many elderly and with cardiac disease, undergoing chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) revealed atrial and/or ventricular premature beats in 19 out of them. However, there were no differences in the type and frequency of the extrasystoles between the recordings performed on a day of dialysis or on a day on which dialysis was deliberately withheld. No new arrhythmias were seen in the 2 patients who were previously free of arrhythmias, in whom CAPD was undertaken. It seems that CAPD does not provoke or aggravate arrhythmias, even in elderly or cardiac patients.

Plasma lipid profile in verapamil-treated hypertensive patients.
Plasma lipid profiles were monitored for one year in hypertensive patients treated with verapamil. Elevations of triglyceride and very low density lipoprotein fractions were demonstrated in those patients already hyperlipidemic before commencement of verapamil. Caution may be necessary when giving verapamil to these hyperlipidemic patients. Further larger studies seem warranted.

Resistant hypertension associated with a renin-producing ovarian Sertoli cell tumor.
A 17-year-old girl with refractory, but nonmalignant, hypertension and hypokalemia is presented. A state of primary hyperreninism and secondary hyperaldosteronism was found to exist, together with a renin-producing Sertoli cell ovarian tumor. Upon removal of the tumor, this patient attained both a normotensive and a normokalemic state. A brief review is given of renal and nonrenal renin-producing tumors.

Anatomic sites of foot lesions resulting in amputation among diabetics and non-diabetics.
OBJECTIVE: To identify and quantify the anatomic sites of foot lesions resulting in amputation among patients suffering from peripheral arterial disease with and without diabetes mellitus. DESIGN: A retrospective study. SETTING: Department of Orthopaedic Rehabilitation. PATIENTS: A total of 212 recent lower limb amputees with diabetes mellitus (158) or peripheral arterial disease only (54) admitted for prosthetic rehabilitation. RESULTS: In 62.2% of all amputees the site of lesion that led to amputation was located in the digits. A lesion under the metatarsal heads was reported in 8.0%, along the mid-foot and heel in 8.5%, on the dorsum of the foot in 3.3%, around the ankle joint and lower leg in 5.7%. Finally, 12.3% reported multiple lesions or were unable to recall the exact anatomic location. CONCLUSIONS: Most foot lesions resulting in amputation are located around the digits. These high-risk sites, therefore, need the patient's and the health care team's special attention. The patient should be trained in self foot examination and meticulous daily care, whereas the role of the health care team is in foot evaluation and provision of protective foot wear.
