RESUMO
Serum cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations were measured in diabetic and non-diabetic inpatients in the fasting state and at 1, 2, 2 1/2 and 3 hours after breakfast. No significant changes in these parameters were observed during this period. It is suggested that the use of non-fasting samples for lipid analysis in cardiovascular disease studies is feasible.

In a patient receiving warfarin and heparin in the treatment of pulmonary embolism, a hematoma developed in the iliacus muscle, compressing the overlying femoral nerve. Femoral nerve paralysis ensued, causing inability to walk, pain and loss of sensation in the sensory distribution of the nerve. Surgical intervention and removal of the hematoma relieved the nerve compression and the condition gradually improved.
