des Prasidenten der Europaischen Gesellschaft der Entgiftungszentralen R. GouLDING Throughout the world hundreds of international medical meetings are held every year. The quality of the papers so presented varies enormously. The cynic might comment that many of them are scarcely worthy of utterance and less still of publication. Equally, the discussion sessions are seldom of such excellence that they bear recording. Indeed, many will aver that the only worthwhile purpose served by any of these meetings is the opportunity they present for social and in formal contact. No such strictures could be veritably applied to the proceedings of the Fifth International Congress of the European Association of Poison Control Centres held in Mainz, Federal Republic of Germany, in 1972. The participants were by no means confined to membership of the Association, nor to those domiciled in Europe. Visitors from further afield, notably from North America, attended in large numbers and contributed actively to the exchange of views, medical and scientific. All the more reason, therefore, that what was said then in the various sessions at Mainz should be printed and circulated first, as a permanent record and, second, for the benefit and delight of a wider circle of readers than the com paratively few interested workers who could be present in Mainz in person. Our gratitude is due to Dr."

Any general practitioner, pediatrician, or emergency physician will appreciate the easy-to-read, accessible information available in this book which will assist the health care practitioner in managing the acute care of abused patients. It is not intended to be an exhaustive study of each topic, but a quick reference and practical guide for those in the clinical arena who see such patients. Covering a wide range of the abuse that a health care practitioner may see from domestic violence and child abuse to trafficking and torture, topics which are not commonly included in textbooks, it also discusses the cultural influences on managing and investigating abuse. Each chapter has goals and objectives to maximize educational reading on the topic, photographs and tables to assist the clinician, legal aspects of the emergency situation, and quick reference pages to assist the practitioner dealing with an abused patient in an emergency.

Hospice care is available to patients and families dealing with terminal illness. People often do not avail themselves of hospice care because they don't understand what it entails. Many wait until their last few days to request this extraordinary comfort care instead of using the full six months available to them through Medicare and other insurance options. Demystifying Hospice describes through stories good news about end-of-life issues. Written from the perspective of a licensed social worker with experience in public and private hospitals, hospice, and the American Cancer Society, these first-hand accounts of patients, family members, hospice workers and others will lift spirits, touch hearts, and illustrate the advantages of hospice care. These are real-life examples of personalized comfort care, offered by an interdisciplinary team, where ever the patient lives. Each story addresses some aspect of helping families through the caregiving and grieving process, which are part-and-parcel of a serious illness, and offers comfort and understanding to readers who may be going through similar experiences. This book describes hope, healing, and support through difficult times.

Im Jahre 1954 veroeffentlichten SHAW und Mitarbeiter in Australien [147] die Entdeckung einer auffallenden barbituratantagonistischen Wirkung des ss, ss- Methylathylglutarsaureimids. Das ist eine Substanz, die inzwischen auch als NP 13 und unter verschiedenen anderen Namen (Bemegride, Eukraton, Malysol und Megimide) Eingang in die Medizin gefunden hat. Wir verwenden im fol- genden die Bezeichnung Bemegrid. Die Synthese dieses Stoffes, der chemisch auch als 4.4-Methylathyl-2.6-dioxo- piperidin aufgefasst werden kann, war zwar seit langem bekannt (THOLE und THORPE, 1911 [164]), von seinen pharmakologischen Eigenschaften ist jedoch in fruheren Untersuchungen nur eine krampferzeugende Wirkung festgestellt worden (BENICA und WILSON [7]). Um die Rolle besser verstandlich zu machen, die Bemegrid seit der Entdeckung von SHAW und Mitarbeitern in Pharmakologie und Klinik der Schlafmittel- vergiftungen gespielt hat, wollen wir die ersten Ergebnisse der tierexperimentellen und klinischen Untersuchungen in ihren wesentlichen Punkten auffuhren. Die neue Substanz zeigte an Mausen, Ratten, Kaninchen, Katzen und Hunden in tiefer Narkose mit verschiedenen kurz- und langwirkenden Barbituraten (Thiopental, Pentobarbital, Phenobarbital und Barbital) bei enteraler und parente- raler Zufuhr deutliche Narkoseverkurzung und - ausgenommen bei Katzen- auch Weckwirkung. An Kaninchen in toedlicher Thiopentalvergiftung hatte Bemegrid lebens rettende Wirkung. Die Atmung von Katzen und Kaninchen, die unter der Narkose vermindert war, wurde durch Bemegrid wieder gesteigert.
