Intravenous Chlormethiazole — Haemolysis with Concentrated Solutions

Acute haemolysis due to concentrated dialysis fluid.

Fatal acute haemolysis occurred in a 65-year-old man undergoing regular home haemodialysis for terminal renal failure. Circumstantial evidence indicating that the haemolysis resulted from exposure to concentrated dialysis solution was supported by in-vitro studies. Frank haemolysis in blood samples occurred at a dilution of greater than or equal to 1/2 of dialysis fluid. Osmotic fragility tests...

Rectal aminophylline (blood levels with concentrated solutions).

YLLINE'(theophylline ethylenediamine) is one of the most useful drugs employed in the management of bronchial asthma . Its therapeutic effects are closely related to its blood level.' This should approximate from 5 to 9 mcg/ml in serum. Segal et al in 1949 demonstrated that a rectal solution of 0 .5 gm of aminophylline in 15 cc water yielded a significant degree of protection against histamine ...

Structure of Concentrated HCl Solutions

A pentagonal ring is suggested as the basic structural unit of HCl(H2O)6 and (HCl)2(H2O)6 in solution. Modeled after the X-ray structure of a caged H13O6 compound, it contains bridged H5O2 and Clions, each with a coordination number around four. In the most concentrated HCl solutions, one of the ligands solvating Clis HCl, giving rise to a bichloride moiety. The proposed structure explains qual...
