Case scenario: amniotic fluid embolism.

A MNIOTIC fluid embolism (AFE) is a rare but potentially catastrophic obstetric emergency. Despite earlier recognition and aggressive treatment, morbidity and mortality rates remain high. An estimated 5–15% of all maternal deaths in Western countries are due to AFE. Recent retrospective reviews of population-based hospital databases in Canada and the United States found AFE incidences of 6.1–7....

New clinical and toxicological scenario of gammaglutamyltranspeptidase.

After the discovery of gammaglutamyltranspeptidase in 1950 by Hanes, the significance of its increased levels in clinical practice has mainly been focused on ethanol toxicity, and also some neoplasms and biliary tract obstruction. More recently, attention has swift to the metabolic functions of this enzyme, as a neutralizer of oxygen free radicals and as a glutathione donor to the cell. High se...
