Dyspnea following vinblastine or vindesine administration in patients receiving mitomycin plus vinca alkaloid combination therapy.

Pulmonary toxicity is not commonly associated with the vinca alkaloids vinblastine and vindesine. Three patients receiving the combination of mitomycin plus vindesine or vinblastine developed acute dyspnea 1-5 hours following vinca alkaloid administration. Two of the three patients continued to receive therapy and both experienced symptoms with each subsequent vinblastine or vindesine injection. No other cause for the dyspnea could be detected. We conclude that, as in the three previously reported cases, shortness of breath can occur after the injection of vinblastine or vindesine in patients receiving mitomycin plus vinca alkaloid combination therapy.

[Contractile force, work of the uterus, power developed and resistance of the cervix uteri during labor. Measurements in Poissy units].

Apart from records made of uterine contractions in labour and the progress in dilatation of the cervix, the energy exerted by the uterus to open the cervix can be calculated. The power that is developed and the resistance of the factors that combine to inhibit dilatation of the cervix can also be calculated. Examples are given of promiparous women with a dilatation of 5 cm.
