Combined effects of diphenyliodonium chloride, pine oils, and mustard oil soaps on certain microorganisms.

Bactericidal and bacteriostatic activities of an emulsion containing 10.0% (v/v) terpineol, 0.5% (w/v) diphenyliodonium chloride, 11.0% (v/v) ethyl alcohol, and 5.62% saponified mustard oil were tested against a number of different types of organisms. The bactericidal concentration for Salmonella typhosa was 1:400. In the presence of 5.0% horse serum, it increased to 1:250. The bacteriostatic concentration varied from organism to organism; Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus required 4,000 mug/ml for complete bacteriostasis, whereas Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Salmonella paratyphi-A, and Shigella required only 2,000 mug/ml for complete inhibition. A 4.0% concentration of the emulsion killed the spores of Bacillus subtilis within 6 hr.

Diagnosis of unexplained bleeding from tunneled dialysis catheter.

Bleeding after hemodialysis catheter placement is commonly seen and can happen because of anticoagulation, poor platelet function in dialysis patients, and trauma to the vessel and tunnel tract during placement. We wish to present here two cases of prolonged exist site bleeding with tunneled dialysis catheters (SchonCath dialysis catheter, Angio-Dynamics, Queensbury, N.Y.) due to unsuspected catheter leak within the tunneled portion of the catheter, which was identified with angiogram.
