Meconium ileus was the presenting feature of cystic fibrosis in 46 per cent of the couples which have been referred for prenatal diagnosis. In fetuses which have been aborted on the basis of alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes assays, meconium ileus represented the only pathological feature of cystic
BACKGROUND
Intestinal edema development after trauma resuscitation inhibits intestinal motility which results in ileus, preventing enteral feeding and compromising patient outcome. We have shown previously that decreased intestinal motility is associated with decreased smooth muscle myosin light
After inducing experimental ileus in albino rats, the authors found changed lysosome enzyme activities in liver homogenizate. In the same kind "free" activity of acid phosphatase and acid ribonuclease is elevated by strangulation ileus. According to literature, these alterations result from changed
A 45-yr-old male patient developed acute abdominal pain, ileus, and microscopic hematuria with biochemical evidence of pancreatitis and a marked increase in liver alkaline phosphatase; CT demonstrated swelling of the pancreas, bilateral adrenal hemorrhage, and a suggestion of renal hemorrhage. ERCP
The prenatal diagnosis of cystic fibrosis is based on microvillar enzymes values in amniotic fluid taken by amniocentesis at precisely the 17-18 weeks gestation age (15-16 weeks developmental age). In pregnancies with a cystic fibrosis affected fetus the values of the enzymes are depressed. Since
Prenatal diagnosis of cystic fibrosis was performed in 200 pregnancies with a 1-in-4 risk, and was based on significant modifications in amniotic fluid taken at 17, 18, 19 weeks of pregnancy, of six enzymatic assays: gamma-glutamyl-transpeptidase, aminopeptidase M, and alkaline phosphatase (total
The amniotic fluid activity of gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) and alcaline phosphatase (AP) and disacharidases was examined in 66 pregnancies with the risk of cystic fibrosis (CF) in the 17th-21st weeks of gestation. So far 28 pregnancies continue. The prenatal
A drug schedule has been devised based on a strategy of G2 blockade followed by prolonged infusion of tubulin-binding agents. The regimen consists of doxorubicin 32 mg/m2 i.v. and cyclophosphamide 320 mg/m2 i.v. on day 1 followed by vinblastine (0.3 to 1.2 mg/m2/day), cisplatin (3 to 12 mg/m2/day),
A prenatal diagnosis was performed in 51 pregnancies with a 1-in-4 risk of having a child with cystic fibrosis. The criteria for determining an affected fetus were based on the results of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) residual activity after inhibition by phenylalanine and by homoarginine, of total ALP
Patients with concomitant ovarian cancer and bowel obstruction were studied in an effort to find objective prognostic factors predictive of patient outcome. A total of 62 patients were followed from 31 to 354 weeks, and a total of 20 variables were considered in the analyses. At the end of the study
BACKGROUND
This phase I study was conducted to determine maximal tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) in patients with advanced solid tumors treated with the polyamine analog N1, N14-diethylhomospermine (DEHSPM).
METHODS
Patients were treated with DEHSPM administered as a
Immunoreactive trypsin (IRT) has been studied in amniotic fluid as a possible complementary test substance for the prenatal diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF). 219 normal amniotic fluids have been tested in order to establish the normal ranges from 14 to 40 gestational weeks (g.w.). The IRT level
The authors analyze the results of surgical treatment of 629 patients with acute ileus. In order to increase the diagnostic information value of the radiopaque dynamic investigation the authors propose to administer the liquid barium suspension through the probe introduced through the nose into the
BACKGROUND
Bouveret's syndrome is a clinically distinct form of gallstone ileus caused by the formation of a fistula between the biliary tract and duodenum. This case reinforces the need for early recognition and treatment of Bouveret's syndrome, as it is associated with high morbidity and mortality
BACKGROUND
As opposed to acute, chronic, and acalculus cholecystitis, emphysematous cholecystitis (EC) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Only a few studies have specifically reviewed the operative management and clinical outcome of EC. This study documents the operative
