Simple selected ion monitoring capillary gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric method for the determination of cotinine in serum, urine and oral samples.
A capillary gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric method using selected ion monitoring was developed for the analysis of cotinine in urine, serum and oral samples. The procedure requires 500 microliters of an oral sample, 250 microliters of a serum sample and 50 microliters of urine and can detect 5 ng/ml cotinine in oral samples, 10 ng/ml in serum and 50 ng/ml in urine with good precision and accuracy. The method was used to determine the cotinine concentration in samples of all three fluids collected from a group of smokers and non-smokers.

Unusual manifestations of peripartal cardiac disease.
Because peripartal cardiac disease occurs infrequently, its manifestations may be unfamiliar to most physicians. We report two unusual cases of postpartum cardiac disease: one patient presented with cerebral and peripheral arterial embolization, and the second patient developed late eclamptic seizures with subsequent myocardial infarction. Both patients recovered. Nonobstetric physicians should be aware of these pregnancy-associated medical complications to allow prompt diagnosis and aggressive therapy.

Nonoperative management of delayed splenic rupture in an adult.
Due to the evidence that a splenectomized patient is at increased risk for serious infection, nonoperative management of splenic injury, as well as operations designed to preserve functioning splenic tissue, have been recently reported. Most experience in nonoperative management has been in the pediatric and young-adult age groups. We report a case of delayed rupture of the spleen in a middle-aged patient who was successfully managed nonoperatively and was followed with ultrasonography to resolution.
