Gas chromatographic determination of cocaine in whole blood and plasma using a nitrogen-sensitive flame ionization detector.

A procedure is described for the determination of as little as 20 ng of cocaine from 1 ml of whole blood or plasma. Methods are also given for the storage of whole blood or plasma containing cocaine as well as for whole blood or plasma extracts. Blood levels in patients receiving intranasal cocaine for topical anesthesia while undergoing rhinoplasty are also presented.

Acessory nerve function after surgical procedures in the posterior triangle.

Seventeen patients who had undergone surgical procedures in the posterior triangle of the neck were examined between one day and four years after operation. Eleven patients were studied with electromyography. Clinical and electromyographic evidence of 11th cranial nerve paresis was present in 12 patients. Partial nerve injuries and entrapments, as suggested by delayed symptoms and incomplete denervation on electromyographic studies, were frequent. Physiotherapy was effective in restoring a satisfactory, although in many cases an incomplete, return of function. The spinal accessory nerve appears to be vulnerable to injury despite careful preservation during surgical dissection.

Hibernoma: report of two cases.

Hibernomas are rare tumors of fat which are most often benign. Arteriographic fingings may be misleading with respect to the diagnosis of malignancy preoperatively. These uncommon tumors may be confused prior to surgery with lipomas, soft tissue sarcomas, and hemangiomas.

An evaluation of the local effects of triamcinolone acetonide on normal soft tissues in monkey digits.

The lack of quantitative information on the observed effects after subcutaneous injections of triamcinolone prompted a double blind, prospective study of the drug's effects. The results demonstrate that there are gross losses in the subcutaneous fat. No significant quantitative differences were observed in the collagen content (microscopic or biochemical) in these monkey digits.

Dog bites.

Dog bites can be prevented by proper education of children, appropriate selection of family pets and the restraint of guard dogs in the community. An unusually high incidence of bites by German shepherds was observed in this study. Treatment of injuries inflicted by dogs should include: careful wound toilet, appropriate excision of damaged tissues, careful wound repair with adequate drainage and systematic therapy with selected antibiotics.

Metastatic hypernephroma to the head and neck.

Hypernephroma is one of the most common visceral adenocarcinomas which metastasize to the head and neck. The metastasis may precede discovery of the primary or follow it. The most common sites of metastatic hypernephroma to the head and neck are the sinonasal tract, skin, cervical lymphatics, and mandible. Three cases of metastatic hypernephroma are presented and one of these is the first documented report of a metastasis to the parotid gland. The other two were found in the sinonasal tract.
