Herein, we present the case of a 55-year-old patient who developed a severe zoster reaction after receiving the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. Although zoster reactivation has already been observed with various vaccines, the extent and length of this reaction raise serious concerns. Hopefully, the outcome of this patient was favorable. The case of this patient, who could have only received a single dose of the vaccine, suggests that immunity after this type of vaccine vanishes rapidly and booster shots will be of crucial importance in the future.

We would like to present the first report of severe acute dystonic reaction after a single administration of metoclopramide during cesarean section under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia.  During elective cesarean section, a 30-year-old female vomited four times and was treated with 10mg intravenous metoclopramide and 8mg intravenous ondansetron.  Nausea subsided with the antiemetic treatment, but two minutes later, patient had rapid eye blinking, uncontrollable head movement, and became unresponsive.  Bolus of 50mg intravenous diphenhydramine resolved the acute dystonic symptoms within seconds.  Patient was again oriented times three, with no recollection of symptoms, and remained symptom free for the rest of admission.

On Lord Wavell’s initiative, the Simla Conference was held to discuss the proposal of a new executive council and a new constitution for India after the war. Master Tara Singh represented the Sikh community at the Simla Conference. The Conference failed due to Jinnah’s insistence that the Muslim League alone had the right to nominate Muslim representatives on the Executive Council. The failure of the Conference made the general elections of 1945–6 all the more important. The general elections resulted in a large degree of polarization between the Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs. The Muslim League got Muslim mandate in favour of Pakistan. The Congress got a mandate of Hindus and a considerable proportion of the Sikhs for independence without partition. The Akalis got support of the large majority of the Sikhs for an independent political entity of the Sikhs. This polarization was of crucial importance for the future.

The global program to eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis created by The World Health organization in 1997 is based on mass administration of single annual doses of diethylcarbamazine ( DEC) plus albendazole in non African regions and of albendazole plus ivermectin in Africa. The usual side effects of DEC treatment include fever, chills, arthralgia, headaches, nausea, and vomiting. Albendazole is associated with relatively few side effects consisting of occasional nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, reversible alopecia, elevated aminotransferases and rarely leucopenia and rash. We report a case of polyneuropathy in a young individual following DEC and albendazole during mass drug administration. Keywords: Albendazole; DEC; Polyneuropathy.

The author spent one half of 1987 working as an institutional pharmacist and the other half working as a community pharmacist. After quizzing administrators, educators, laboratory technicians, nurses, pharmacists, physicians, secretaries, and consumers throughout central Illinois, a picture of the small hospital in transition began to emerge. Exciting new roles for institutional pharmacists are developing, but the future for the “tiny” hospital (smaller than 100 beds), the health service providers who staff them, and the communities they serve is in doubt. This article is intended to provide a view of what is happening in small and very small hospitals in some communities in Illinois.
