The symptom complex--hypoproteinemia, edema and anemia--occurs in approximately 5 percent of CF-patients during the first 6 months of life. Since milk is the only nutritional source in this age group, a hypocaloric nutrition respectively marginaly low protein intake may contribute to these symptoms
A 2-year-old boy was evaluated for failure to thrive, hypotonia and developmental delay. The child exhibited all the criteria of Shwachman-Diamond syndrome, i.e., short stature, metaphyseal dysostosis, pancreatic insufficiency and neutropenia. Liver function tests were abnormal. Marked edema
A case of cystic fibrosis in a baby presenting Kwashiorkor (edema, hypoalbuminemia and anemia ) is described. This is a very unusual presentation, easily attributed to unfavourable socio-economic conditions of the population, and classically considered a marker for severe pulmonary disease during
The authors observed 329 consecutive cases of chronic calcifying pancreatitis (CCP) from January 1963 to January 1986. Alcoholism was the etiological agent in 282 cases (86%). In 34 patients (10%) no cause was detectable (idiopathic). Malnutrition was responsible for 10 cases (3%) and chronic
Parvovirus B19 (PVB19) is the causative agent of infectious erythema. In healthy children the virus causes transient erythroid aplasia, whereas in children with chronic hemolytic anemias it can cause severe aplastic crises, and in immunodeficient individuals it can produce chronic red cell aplasia.
OBJECTIVE
Cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene mutations are associated with pancreatic insufficiency and pancreatitis. Chronic pancreatitis, including cystic fibrosis-related disease, may exist as a continuum between acute and chronic disease and may manifest as recurrent pain. We
Pancreatic disorders in dogs and cats are recognized with increasing frequency, and abdominal ultrasonography has assumed an important role in their diagnosis. The normal pancreas is a small, inconspicuous organ of comparable echogenicity to surrounding mesentery and may be difficult to identify.
The role of platelet-activating factor (PAF) as a mediator of pancreatic inflammation was examined in the rat pancreatic duct ligation model of obstructive pancreatitis. Pancreatic generation of PAF, as measured by bioassay (ie, platelet [3H]serotonin secretion), was determined at various times
1. With Conn.-5 strain of Coxsackie virus, pancreatic disease can be regularly produced in adult mice. 2. The lesions consist of widespread necrosis, followed by repair; there occurs more or less complete loss of glandular acini, with fatty or fibrous replacement. The islands of Langerhans and
OBJECTIVE
Diaspirin cross-linked hemoglobin (DCLHb) is a purified, cell-free human hemoglobin solution. In animal stroke models its use led to a significant reduction in the extent of brain injury. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the safety of DCLHb in patients with acute
