RESUMO
A 45-year-old female patient admitted for surgical management of carcinoma esophagus, presented with difficulty in insertion of left-sided 37 F and 35 F double lumen tube (Mallinckrodt® Broncho-Cath). Fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed a subglottic web in the larynx just below the vocal cords and a tracheal web just above the carina. Differential lung ventilation could be achieved with a 35 F internal diameter double lumen tube (Portex® Blueline® Endobronchial tube).

The relationship between myasthenia gravis (MG) and other autoimmune disorders like hyperthyroidism is well known. It may manifest earlier, concurrently orafter the appearance of MG. The effect of treatment of hyperthyroidism on the control of MG is variable. There may be resolution or conversely, deterioration of the symptoms also. We present a patient who was diagnosed to be hyperthyroid two and half years before the appearance of myasthenic symptoms. Pharmacotherapy for three months neither improved the myasthenic symptoms nor the thyroid function tests. Thymectomy resulted in control of MG as well as hyperthyroidism. In conclusion, effective control of hyperthyroidism in the presence of MG may be difficult. The authors opine that careful peri-operative management of thymectomy is possible in a hyperthyroid state.

Discharge from the ear is one of the commonest symptoms of infections of the ear. To study the major strains of bacteria encountered in ear discharges, this study was conducted from July 1999, to June 2001 in the microbiology laboratory of Om Hospital. A total of 115 patients, of 6-35 years of age clinically diagnosed as discharging otitis media were studied. In 60.9% single organism and in 26.08% two organisms were isolated. Results revealed that, Staphylococcus aureus (34.3%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (24.3%), Pseudomons aeruginosa (22.8%), Enterobacter sps (7.1%), Esch coli (4.3%), Citrobacter sps (1.4%), Proteus sps (1.4%), Acinetobacter sps (1.4%) and Pneumococci (1.4%) were the common organisms in the discharge. Candida albicans (2.8%) was the pathogen in two cases. In 27.8% of cases the causative agent was not demonstrated. About sixty percent (65.9%), 64.8% and 56.0% of the isolates were sensitive to amikacin, ciprofloxacin and gentamycin respectively.
