Abstract
A phase I study was designed to evaluate the toxicity of escalating doses of gemcitabine along with fixed-dose paclitaxel in patients heavily pretreated with chemotherapy or radiotherapy. All patients had no prior therapy with the study drugs and possessed both adequate performance and end organ function. Eighteen patients were entered in the study. Characteristics included a median age of 66 years (range, 41 to 77) and stage IV disease in all patients; there were six patients with colon cancer, two with bladder cancer, three with non-small-cell lung cancer, two with esophageal cancer, three with pancreatic cancer, and two with cancer of unknown primary. Paclitaxel (150 mg/m2 over 3 hours) was given on day 1 and gemcitabine (800, 900, and 1,000 mg/m2 over 15 minutes) was given in three separate dose-escalating cohorts (1-3) on days 1 and 8. The treatment cycled every 21 days. The dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) proved to be neutropenia. All nonhematologic toxicities were mild and included gastrointestinal (nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea), dermatologic (rash), and neurologic (paresthesias) disturbances along with transient elevations of liver function tests. The combination of gemcitabine and paclitaxel seems to be well tolerated, and the recommended starting dose for a phase II study, in pretreated patients using a day 1/day 8 treatment schedule, should be 900 mg/m2 for gemcitabine (days 1 and 8) along with 150 mg/m2 for paclitaxel (day 1).

Abstract
Methemoglobinemia is a condition characterized by increased level of methemoglobin in the erythrocytes and brownish cyanosis. Acquired methemoglobinemia is diagnosed by elevated methemoglobin with normal hemoglobin electrophoresis and normal NADH cytochrome b5 reductase. We report a patient who developed lethargy, confusion, and cyanosis during post-operative period. He had arterial methemoglobin level of 40.6% and oxygen saturation of 59%. No other cause could be found for his methemoglobinemia other than metoclopramide, even though it is rarely reported to cause methemoglobinemia in adults compared to infants. He had an excellent clinical response to treatment with methylene blue with which his clinical symptoms improved and the methemoglobin level returned to normal within 24 hours. Here we discuss the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of acquired methemoglobinemia induced by metoclopramide.

Abstract
Advancing technology permits aggressive medical interventions that are often lifesaving, yet place the patient's immune system in temporary jeopardy. During the interval of immunocompromise, physicians must maintain vigilance for opportunistic infection by saprophytic organisms such as Aspergillus. Although the lung is the most common site of infection by this fungus, subsequent hematogenous dissemination with central nervous system involvement may occur. Currently, the majority of Aspergillus infections of the central nervous system remain unrecognized until the patient's demise. The clinical and pathological features of aspergillosis of the central nervous system are reviewed in order to promote earlier diagnosis and treatment.
