Perforation of the Septal Perforators: A Case Series and Proposed Management Paradigm.

Septal artery perforations are an uncommon complication of percutaneous coronary intervention. Unlike epicardial vessels, septal perforations do not result in pericardial effusions but rather produce septal haematomas. While most can be managed expectantly, a small proportion requires active management to prevent rapid haematoma expansion resulting in compromise of right ventricular filling and 'dry tamponade'.

Use of a leadless pacemaker in the management of swallow syncope: A case report.

A 41-year-old male presented with syncope whilst eating and was subsequently demonstrated to have recurrent symptomatic sinus pauses whilst swallowing. Following the exclusion of structural heart disease, he was diagnosed with swallow syncope, an uncommon variant of neurocardiogenic syncope.

What proof is in your Christmas pudding? Is caring under the influence possible?

Objectives: To determine the ethanol concentration of commonly available Christmas puddings, and to extrapolate the blood alcohol content (BAC) of typical health care professionals after Christmas lunch at the hospital.

Design And Setting: We conducted fractional distillation of Christmas puddings and analysed the distillate for ethanol content. We then applied standard pharmacological and physiological assumptions to assess predicted BAC in typical male and female health care professionals at our hospital.
