Determination of beta-endorphin in alcoholic patients in the acute stage of intoxication: relation with naloxone therapy.

beta-Endorphin was measured in the plasma of control subjects and 12 chronic alcoholics in the acute stage of ethanol intoxication. Naloxone was administered and the level of beta-endorphin was compared before and after treatment. The increased level of beta-endorphin in the intoxicated subjects supports the presence of ethanol interactions with the opioid system, since pituitary secretion does not seem to be involved. Furthermore, the coexistence of high levels of beta-endorphin and an effective naloxone response suggest a possible link between the two.

Carbon monoxide poisoning, a diagnosis frequently overlooked.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a common source of poisoning, yet the diagnosis is often overlooked. A study was undertaken to establish the true incidence of missed diagnosis and to assess retrospectively the effects of a campaign of public medical information on this subject. The wrong diagnoses reflected all the unusual clinical presentations that CO could produce. The high initial rate of wrong diagnoses (30% in 1975-1977) was reduced following the campaign (12% in 1978 and 5% in 1980) despite a considerable increase in the rate of admission to hospital of confirmed CO poisoning cases.

[A rare complication of anticoagulants: hemoperitoneum caused by gallbladder rupture. Review of the literature apropos of a case].

A 78 year old woman presented with a hemoperitoneum due to vesicular rupture, a rare event since only 45 similar cases have been reported and only 2 of these, as with the present case, were on anticoagulants. This clearly illustrates the extreme rarity of the accident involving a treatment that is being used with increasing frequency. Diagnosis was never made before laparotomy, and the outcome was fatal in 20 of these 46 patients, mortality being higher before progress in intensive care and in patients over 50 years.
