[In France, is acute alcoholic intoxication in adults a metabolic emergency?].

Some biological data of 63 acute alcoholic poisoning (without drug ingestion) in adults were studied during a brief hospitalization. Mean arterial blood concentration of lactate was 2,34 mmol/l +/- 0,13, of ethanol was 53 +/- 3,68 mmol/l. No correlation was found between these two variables and we have not registered lactic acidosis.

Moxalactam kinetics during chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

Moxalactam kinetics in renal failure were followed in eight patients undergoing chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) after a single 1-gm IV infusion. Elimination t 1/2 was 16.7 +/- 2.
