Digital necrosis. An 18-year-old woman, with a history of severe anorexia nervosa of 5 years duration, who acknowledged regular use of tobacco and cannabis, was hospitalized for necrosis of the left index and thumb that had occurred shortly after left radial artery puncture for blood gas analysis. Acrocyanosis of the four limbs had been present since the onset of anorexia nervosa. Arteriography of the upper limbs showed major spasm of the left radial and cubital arteries and thromboses in the left interdigital arteries of the left index and thumb. The distal portions of the arteries were then on the left and on the right. The necrotic lesions healed after intravenous administration of ilomedine and interruption of tobacco and cannabis. Acrocyanosis of the four limbs persisted .

If you look at the history of measurement, it shows constant attempts to better define and refine our measurement units. Early measurement standards were arbitrary such as the Egyptian cubit (the tip of the finger to the elbow). Since then we have tried to base measurement standards on non-changing, consistent, and repeatable standards, some of which turned out to be inconsistent and/or impractical. The work of the metrologist will never be complete. The more accurately we can define our measurement standards, the better we can measure the properties of our universe.

Fasted Cebus monkeys (Cebus albifrons) of either sex weighing 3.0 to 5.0 kg are used. On the morning of the experiment, the animals receive 20 ml/kg drinking water by gavage, followed by oral administration of the test compound. Allopurinol and probenecid are used as control compounds. Control animals receive water only. The animals are placed in individual metabolism cages and the spontaneously voided urine is collected after 2, 6, and 24 h. After 2 and 6 h, an additional 4 ml/kg water is given by gavage. From a cubital vein blood is withdrawn prior to the experiment and 2, 6 and 24 h after application. 

Dermal exposure to DNOC does not appear to cause local irritation of the skin of humans. DNOC was not a dermal irritant <48 and 72 hours after concentrations of 0.5% or 1.0% were diluted in water and applied to the upper back of agricultural workers, former agricultural workers, and other humans (Lisi et al. 1987). No signs of local irritation or evidence of systemic toxicity were observed after 1.8% DNOC as the sodium salt was applied daily to the shaved arm pits and to the anterior cubital surface of each arm of two humans for 30 days (Ambrose 1942).

Method The principle of GEC involves the intravenous administration of galactose in excess substrate in order to assess the maximum rate of hepatic metabolization. This requires a galactose concentration of 0.5 g/kg BW (serum concentration of > 45 mg/dl for at least 45 minutes), which is injected within 4—5 minutes as a 40% pyrogen-free sterile galactose solution. The bladder has to be emptied immediately prior to the injection and subsequently the urine has to be collected for exactly 5 hours to assess the respective galactose excretion (in grams). Blood samples are taken from the fingertip (or from the cubital vein into an EDTA test tube) at 5, 25 and 45 minutes after injection. We have reported in detail on how to conduct this method as well as on the analysis of GEC. (67, 69)...

Cubital vein (arm)—only in an emergency. The cubital vein is used for withdrawing blood. 

The IV should be inserted in the dorsal vein, but can also be inserted into the cephalic or cubital vein.
