Parosteal lipoma of the radius with posterior interosseous nerve palsy.

Parosteal lipoma is a rare benign soft tissue mesenchymal tumour that may impair limb motor function when located adjacent to neurovascular structures. We report a case of a woman in her 80s with a long-standing lesion in the forearm and consequent sensory and motor function changes. She was admitted for an elective excision of the lipoma.

Anaesthetic Management in a Duchennne Muscle Dystrophy Patient for Treatment of Recurrent Pneumothorax.

Introduction: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an x linked recessive disorder. Long term prognosis is ominous, with development of respiratory distress and cardiomyopathy in advanced stage of the disease and expected death in the teens-to-mid 20s due to respiratory or cardiac failure. Peri-operative management of this patients is challenging due to difficult airway anatomy (macroglossia, limited neck and mandibular mobility).

[Effect of salinomycin (K 364) on the fattening of pigs].

Experiments with pigs of the White Bulgarian Improved breed of initial weight of 25 kg revealed that the oral administration of salinomycin at the rate of 50 ppm (from the beginning of treatment up to the 61st day) and 25 ppm (from the 62nd day up to the 117th day) with the feed led to the increase in weight gain by 10.9 per cent and in feed conversion by 7.4 per cent by the end of the experimental period.
