Medical services in the Lebanon War, 1982: an overview.

To medicine every war is a challenge. The armed conflict creates an emergency which calls for large numbers of personnel and presents many new problems. Modern wars are fought not between armies alone but between nations. The shortage must be compensated by improved organization that will eliminate every source of waste and inefficiency. Thus, war becomes a testing ground for a nation's ability to organize all its health services, and it may become a rich source of experience for the organization of services after the war.

Overdose of booster tetanus toxoid given in error: a clinical study.

16 reserve soldiers received an overdose of tetanus toxoid vaccine (5 ml instead of 0.5 ml) in error. We assessed the incidence and severity of adverse reactions and determined tetanus antibody titer immediately and after 5 days, 1 month and 1 year, and compared it with the titers in a control group of 20 soldiers. The incidence and severity of reactions was significantly higher in the overdose group. The mean tetanus antibody titer rose to similar levels in both groups after 1 month (153.75 +/- 82.5 IU/ml and 62.02 +/- 42.15 IU/ml respectively) but decreased sharply after 1 year in the overdose group.

March myoglobinemia: a hazard to renal function.

Serum muscle enzyme levels, myoglobin levels, and renal function were measured in a group of 20 army recruits who had volunteered for a prolonged period of primary, specially designed, gradual training. Blood samples were taken before training and before and after each hike. Levels of serum myoglobin, creatinine phosphokinase, lactic dehydrogenase, and SGOT indicated muscle injury. Levels of urea creatinine, and uric acid and creatinine clearance evaluated renal function. Substantial elevation of muscle enzyme levels and persistent myoglobinemia were observed throughout the study. A highly significant decrease in creatinine clearance was demonstrated. After the last hike, the mean creatinine clearance was 70.41 mL/min, which is notably lower than the value at the beginning of the study. Prolonged physical exercise induces muscular damage, as evidenced by a rise in myoglobin and enzyme levels. Continuous muscle injury induces persistent myoglobinemia, a probable hazard to renal function.
