Schistosomiasis in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iraq.

The incidence of schistosomiasis, a parasitic infestation caused by trematodes, or flukes, has decreased significantly in Egypt and other Middle Eastern countries. The education of people in the countryside is a primary reason. The water supply in these countries is now good, and, in most areas, women no longer use the stagnant river tributaries for washing clothes. Medications, which can be used to prevent the infection or kill the parasite include praziquante and metrifonate.

Some physiological changes during anesthesia for laparoscopy.

Twenty women studied for diagnostic or therapeutic laparoscopy with intraperitoneal insufflation of carbon dioxide. There were circulatory changes, dysrrhythmias, elevated central venous pressure and arterial blood pressure, hypercarbia, decrease in pH and increased peak air way pressure. With abdominal decompression all changes returned to within normal values.

Effects of analgesics during labor.

Four analgesic agents were studied during labour: pethidinesparine, ketamine hydrochloride, nitrous oxide-oxygen, and trichloroethylene in air (Trilene). Excellent analgesia was achieved with ketamine, however hallucinations were troublesome. Trichloroethylene analgesia was good without side-effects. Pethidine-sparine produced moderate analgesia but with nausea and/or vomiting. Nitrous oxide 50% presented poor analgesia. Uterine activity was insignificantly diminished in the late first stage after administration of all analgesic agents except with ketamine. There were no untoward effects on fetuses.
