The Star-Crossed Spouses: Chloroform ’s Lethal Kiss?
In Williamsport, Pennsylvania, on the evening of September 23, 1910, 24-yr-old Marion Springman (1886 to 1910) was dining "in good spirits," according to her husband, trolley conductor W. Ralph Springman (1873 to 1910). Forsaking the dinner table for the upstairs bathroom, she began vomiting violently. Summoned by Marion ’s frantic husband, a physician failed to keep her alive.

Postoperative Management of Lung Transplant Recipients in the Intensive Care Unit
The number of lung transplantations is progressively increasing worldwide, providing new challenges to interprofessional teams and the intensive care units. The outcome of lung transplantation recipients is critically affected by a complex interplay of particular pathophysiologic conditions and risk factors, knowledge of which is fundamental to appropriately manage these patients during the early postoperative course. As high-grade evidence-based guidelines are not available, the authors aimed to provide an updated review of the postoperative management of lung transplantation recipients in the intensive care unit, which a...
