The measurement and control of myocardial infarct size.
Direct, chemical, electrocardiographic and radio-isotopic methods are described for the estimation of myocardial infarct size in animals and man. Their relative points and failings are discussed. The effects of interventions, physical, metabolic and pharmacological, upon the size of myocardial infarcts, are examined and work attempting to reduce myocardial infarct size in man reviewed.

Hydrothorax, a complication of the insertion of central venous cannulae.
Hydrothorax developing in a patient after insertion of a central venous cannula is described. The cannula appeared to be in the superior vena cava on chest X-ray, and the condition only became apparent 48 hours after insertion.

A guide to lung function tests.
In patients with respiratory disease, measurement of lung function should be part of the assessment if possible. In the ward, clinic and lung function laboratory there are tests available to examine airflow, lung volume, gas transfer and exercise capacity. These provide information on lung function which may be vital for adequate diagnosis and assessment of the patient.
