We report the anaesthetic management of vaginal delivery in a woman with Friedreich's ataxia, who had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and had previously undergone thoracic spinal fusion with Harrington rod fixation. Combined spinal-epidural analgesia was used. Options for the anaesthetic management of labour and delivery are discussed.

Harrington rod instrumentation with spinal fusion has proven to be of great value in correcting idiopathic scoliosis-which is not only physically unattractive but a cardiorespiratory crippler as well. The author details the preand intra-operative anesthetic considerations necessary for these cases, emphasizing such areas as positioning, fluid and blood replacement, and obtaining adequate muscle...

The new monotypic genus Malleusocoris is described to accommodate the species M. minimus sp. nov. from Argentina and Brazil. Its relationship with other genera of tribe Myodochini (Hemiptera: Rhyparochromidae) discussed. Moreover, taxonomic allocation Ptochiomera chilensis Spinola, 1852 Plociomera annulicollis Berg, 1894 are considered a junior synonym Bergidia polychroma (Spinola, 1852) (Ozoph...

BACKGROUND Metastatic bone disease involving the acetabulum is a debilitating condition causing significant pain and disability for patients. Many methods of reconstruction have been described for treating Harrington class II and III lesions with different results and complications. Our objectives were to report functional results, implant survival and complications following reconstruction for...

Several bacteria are known which are capable of growth with methanol or certain other C, compounds as sole source of carbon and energy (Peel & Quayle, 1961), but little is known about the enzymes involved in the oxidation of methanol (Quayle, 1961). It has been suggested (Dworkin & Foster, 1956; Leadbetter & Foster, 1958; Harrington & Kallio, 1960; Kaneda & Roxburgh, 1959b) that methanol oxidat...

Leo Harrington showed that the second-order theory of arithmetic WKL0 is Π 1 -conservative over the theory RCA0. Harrington’s proof is modeltheoretic, making use of a forcing argument. A purely proof-theoretic proof, avoiding forcing, has been eluding the efforts of researchers. In this short paper, we present a proof of Harrington’s result using a cut-elimination argument.
