PRACTITIONERS, MANUFACTURERS, AND REGULATORY AGENCIES have long regarded central venous catheters (CVCs) as relatively dangerous, problem-prone devices. Recent attention has been focused primarily on reduction of infectious complications of CVCs. Application of strict aseptic precautions (the so-called ‘‘central-line bundle’’) when placing CVCs effectively has reduced the incidence of catheter-...

Page 721 IgG4-related disease (RD) is a newly recognized systemic disease characterized by high serum IgG4 levels that affects multiple organs including salivary glands and the nasal and paranasal sinuses. Accordingly, many IgG4-RD patients complain about olfactory dysfunction. Yagi-Nakanishi et al have now investigated olfactory function in these patients. More than 50% of the patients suffere...

Page 415 The pig olfactory system is understudied despite the fact that these animals represent a good model of human physiology and possess an exquisitely sensitive sense of smell. Brunjes et al now provide an overview of the pig olfactory system including Nissl, myelin and Golgi stains. Moreover, they used confocal microscopy to examine projection neurons and GABAergic local circuit neurons t...
