Invasive malplacentation of lower uterine segment in first trimester patient with obstetric shock development

We present a case of invasive malplacentation of the lower uterine segment found in a first trimester, 38-year old woman following curettage for missed abortion. Uncontrolled hemorrhage and obstetric hemorrhagic shock developed, resulting in abdominal hysterectomy, with resuscitation. The patient made a full recovery

JOSEPH FRANZ DOMIN (1754-1819) AND HIS CONTRIBUTION TO ELECTROTHERAPY

Joseph Franz Domin (1754-1819) as the croatian theologian and philosopher is primary animist (vitalist), and in practice he has worked as physicist - mechanist, although the humoral theory at that time will be a foundation of medical philosophy more than twenty centuries from Hippocrates to the half of 19th century and Virchow’s cellular theory. Besides his academic and researcher’s work he has been working on electrotherapy of numerous conditions and diseases about which he has published (cephalea, neuralgia, paresis, plegias, pterigyum oculi, rheumatisms, Gicht, epilepsia, arthralgias, febres etc). The latter is undoubtedly progressive natural scientific theory which at that time have widely spread at Habsburgs Monarchy Universities and as proof between first and second Wien’s medical school by integration of other scientific branches (physics and chemistry) in medicine. According to the various researchers Domin was an author of the first electrotherapy manual published in Zagreb, practitioner of electrotherapy in pregalvanic era in contemporary Austrian empire and for sure a scientist who have left a significant remark in contemporary applied physics in medicine, which continued in professional and scientific elaborations not until the end of the 19th century

Refraktorna bradikardija – rijetka komplikacija karboprost trometamina za induciranje pobačaja

We report a first case of refractory several-hour sinus bradycardia, a rare but already described side effect of intramuscular administration of carboprost tromethamine to induce abortion for medical indication in a patient without cardiovascular and other diseases. After administration of atropine sulfate 3x0.5 mg intravenously without effect, the patient‘s sinus rhythm spontaneously normalized as carboprost was eliminated from the body (it has a 3-hour half-life). It is reasonable to believe that the specific prostaglandin underlay the etiology of bradycardia.Autori prikazuju prvi slučaj refraktorne višesatne sinusne bradikardije, rijetke komplikacije intramuskularne aplikacije karboprost trometamina za induciranje pobačaja iz medicinske indikacije u bolesnice bez srčanožilnih i ostalih bolesti. Nakon davanja 3x0,5 mg atropin sulfata intravenski učinak je izostao, no ritam se spontano normalizirao u sinusni nakon tri sata, što se može smatrati kao vrijeme poluraspada prostaglandina i njegova rijetkog učinka na srčanožilni sustav
