Smektit was used for treatment of 24 patients, incl. 10 hospitalized with diarrhoea of a non-infectious etiology (postoperative period, non-adherence to the dietetic regime). Microbiological examination involved only examination of the common flora of the large bowel. In the 10 hospitalized patients
OBJECTIVE
Diarrhea and abdominal pain are well-known side effects abdominal or pelvic of radiation therapy that may lead to interruption of treatment in serious cases. In recent trials the silicate smectite has proven a promising drug in the prophylaxis of these adverse events. The presented trial
A patient who developed magnesium fluoro-silicate poisoning is described. This condition was manifest by the findings of acute chest pain, dysphagia, diarrhea, metabolic acidosis, hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia and was complicated by acute myocardial injury-a phenomenon not previously described.
Acute infectious diarrhea in children remain still a frequent cause of morbidity. 50 % of them are due to rotavirus. Oral rehydration therapy and early realimentation have drastically reduced their mortality and morbidity. Beside oral or eventually IV rehydration therapy no medication has proven its
From a retrospective study on children who underwent colonoscopy or rectosigmoidoscopy with multiple level biopsies, we selected five patients whose rectocolonic endoscopic aspect was normal and contrasting with the presence of a microscopic colitis on biopsies. These five children had chronic
Acute diarrhea caused by an infectious organism is highly prevalent, particularly in developing countries, and is usually self-limiting. The condition is a major contributor to the global disease burden and is associated with a significant economic cost. The disease is common in children aged <5

Manganese is the 12th most abundant element in the earth's crust. The base metal does not occur naturally, but is a component of more than 100 minerals, including sulfides, oxides, carbonates, silicates, phosphates, and borates. In addition to occurring in foods and drinking water, manganese occurs
The association of disseminated magnesium silicate talc granulomatosis and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is reported in a male homosexual who used intravenous drugs and who died of overwhelming cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. Autopsy findings included widespread deposition of talc crystals in
Natural silicate materials, including zeolite clinoptilolite, have been shown to exhibit diverse biological activities and have been used successfully as a vaccine adjuvant and for the treatment of diarrhea. We report a novel use of finely ground clinoptilolite as a potential adjuvant in anticancer
