The autoradiographic localization of paraquat in the lung.

Paraquat poisoning in mammals results in a characteristic lung lesion manifested principally as progressive pulmonary fibrosis. Paraquat is actively concentrated into the lung but the site of uptake remains undefined. A method is described for the autoradiographic localization of paraquat. Preliminary evidence for the site of uptake implicates the bronchiolar epithelium.

Peritoneal cannulography.

Peritoneal dialysis is a simple effective treatment for patients with some forms of renal failure, poisoning and fluid and electrolyte imbalance. There are several well-recognised complications. Common amongst these are malinsertion and positioning of the cannulae, perforation of visci and partial blockage of the cannula by debris. A simple technique of cannulography is described whereby the diagnosis of some of these conditions can be readily achieved.
