fructose/headache

Meteorism, abdominal spasms, diarrhea, casually obstipation, flatulence and nausea are symptoms of fructose malabsorption (FIT) and/or lactose intolerance (LIT), but are also symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Therefore these diseases should be considered primarily in patients with

Hereditary fructose intolerance, caused by mutations in the ALDOB gene, is an unusual cause of hypoglycemia. ALDOB encodes the enzyme aldolase B, responsible for the hydrolysis of fructose 1-phosphate in the liver. Here, we report the case of a 33-year-old female patient who consulted due to

In seven patients, six with Crohn's disease and one with pancreatitis, two methods of parenteral nutrition were compared: the partial consecutive administration of the components of a parenteral nutrition regimen versus the administration of all nutrients simultaneously. With respect to the

Clinical features are reported for 37 patients with various mitochondrial disorders, treated with sodium dichloroacetate (DCA) for 3 weeks to 7 years (mean 3.25 years) at 11-50 mg/kg/day (34.6+/-13.1) in an open-label format. DCA pharmacokinetics showed half-times approximately 86 min for the first

Positive caloric balance often causes pathologic adipocyte and adipose tissue anatomical and functional changes (termed adiposopathy or 'sick fat'), which may lead to pathogenic adipocyte and adipose tissue responses and metabolic disease. Fat weight loss may improve adiposopathy, and thus improve

Migraine is a common episodic headache disorder characterized by attacks that consist of various combinations of headache and neurologic, gastrointestinal and autonomic symptoms. Migraine with aura may be due to neuronal hyperexcitability, perhaps from cortical disinhibition. It is likely that

There are many reports on the disequilibrium syndrome due to dialysis in patients with chronic renal failure. However, they do not mention the findings of CT cisternography and MRI. We intend to investigate the mechanism of CSF dynamics in a patient with disequilibrium syndrome by means of these

Breath tests are non-invasive tests and can detect H₂ and CH₄ gases which are produced by bacterial fermentation of unabsorbed intestinal carbohydrate and are excreted in the breath. These tests are used in the diagnosis of carbohydrate malabsorption, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, and for

Topiramate, a derivative of the monosaccharide d-fructose, has shown a wide spectrum of antiepileptic efficacy in both animal models and clinical trials. Multiple putative mechanisms of action include voltage-sensitive sodium channel blockade, calcium channel inhibition, increase of potassium
