Localization of urinary tract infection in patients with spinal cord injury.
The site of urinary tract infection (UTI) was localized in asymptomatic bacteriuric patients with spinal cord injury who underwent intermittent bladder catheterization by the bladder washout (BWO) test, antibody-coated bacteria (ACB) test, quantitative urinary leukocyte count, ultrasonography, and excretory urography. Thirty-two (43%) of 74 UTIs were localized by BWO to the upper tract and 42 (57%) to the lower tract. Sensitivity of the ACB test in detecting upper UTI as defined by BWO was 0.28, and specificity was 0.86. The median urinary leukocyte count in 22 BWO-positive infections tested was 420 vs. 94 in 24 BWO-negative infections (P = .01). Patients with polymicrobic infections or with upper tract abnormalities, as detected by ultrasound or excretory urography, were more likely to have BWO-positive infections. We conclude that negative BWOs are usually associated with negative ACB tests in this population, but further comparisons of both tests with ureteral catheterization are needed to clarify the meaning of results in either assay.

Ultrasonography and computed tomography of hepatic candidiasis in immunosuppressed patients.
The ultrasonic appearance of Candida infection in the livers of immunosuppressed patients is quite characteristic. Cystic, target-like lesions were found in three patients receiving chemotherapy for myeloproliferative diseases. The computed tomographic appearance is less characteristic. A possible explanation for the appearance of these lesions is presented.

Induction of fetal demise in advanced pregnancy terminations: report on a funic potassium chloride protocol.
Advanced pregnancy termination with uterotonic agents with their inherent risk for occurrence of a live birth and surgical evacuation of a fetus perceived to be vigorous can both be sources of emotional anguish for women. They argue for offering women an option for induction of fetal demise prior to uterine evacuation. We report on our experience with 60 pregnancies in which lethal fetal administration of potassium chloride was performed prior to evacuation of the uterus. We describe a double-bolus technique for funic intravascular injection of potassium chloride to arrest the fetal heart. There were no maternal complications and the procedure was successful in 86.7% (n = 52) of the cases; of the remaining 8 cases, 7 had demise induced by direct fetal cardiac injection, and a live birth occurred in 1 case.
