hypertrophy/diarrhea

OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that the proximal small intestines of children with persistent diarrhea present morphometric and stereologic changes proportional to their nutritional status, using microscope images stored in a computer. METHODS Cross-sectional study with 65 pediatric patients,

We report on a patient with febrile illness, right unilateral paratracheal widening, pulmonary infiltrates, pleural effusions, exanthema and diarrhea. The right paratracheal widening was due to lymph node enlargement confirmed by CT scan. Symptoms disappeared subsequently without specific treatment.

A 14-month-old intact, female Abyssinian cat was presented for chronic intermittent diarrhea and bilateral enlargement of the mammary glands. Gastrointestinal coccidiosis was diagnosed; therapy with sulfadi-methoxine was unsuccessful in the elimination of Isospora felis and clinical signs. Infection

Ten infants and children (mean age, 44 months), who had recovered from protracted infantile diarrhea with no sequelae, underwent detailed investigations of cholate metabolism using the isotope dilution technique. Cholate pool size was 1011 +/- 73 mg/m2, (mean +/- S.E.), synthetic rate was 358 +/- 58

A survey of the histology of 2,024 small intestinal suction and forceps biopsies in 400 dogs, consisting of 17 clinically healthy control dogs and 383 dogs with chronic diarrhea is presented. Three and a half percent of the suction biopsies and 22.6 percent of the forceps biopsies were unsuitable

The protease inhibitor saquinavir was administered to 100 human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected patients as a single 600-mg oral dose (hard gelatin capsules) with a standard breakfast, including 200 ml of grapefruit juice, during an open-label trial to assess whether diarrhea and/or

In order to compare intestinal morphology and function, diarrhea was produced in rats using laxatives in the diet. The 14 day study included two groups of rats with diarrhea (osmotic or secretory), two groups without diarrhea but with a degree of malnutrition which was similar to that seen in the

OBJECTIVE To determine Helicobacter pylori presence on antral lavages, adenoids and salival inmunoglobuline A on paediatric patients with chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) and adenoid hypertrophy. METHODS Adenoid tissue, liquid obtained from antral lavages and saliva from 28

BACKGROUND The causes and mechanisms of chronic diarrhea are complex. This study aimed to explore the relationship between chronic diarrhea with normal colonoscopy findings and terminal ileum lesions. METHODS All cases were collected from January 2009 to June 2010. The 40 patients in the patient

The purpose of this study was to quantitate the jejunal lesion in Gambian children with chronic diarrhea-malnutrition syndrome. There were 40 subjects (20 male, 20 female) with a mean age of 19.7 months. All were severely malnourished, with marasmus in 30, marasmic kwashiorkor in 9, and kwashiorkor

A multicenter, randomized, double-blind study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of the antiandrogen flutamide in treating patients with urinary obstruction caused by benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). Patients were randomized to either flutamide (750 mg/d) or a placebo. Prostate size

Typical SAM of the mitral valve was detected by echocardiography in a 71-year-old patient with acute myocardial infarction. The patient showed auscultation signs of IHSS and was digitalized and hypovolemic secondary to diarrhea. Following rehydration and digitalis being discontinued, SAM was no

A 16-month-old boy presented with massive abdominal enlargement. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a liver tumor measuring 11 x 11 x 10 cm. Pulmonary metastases were detected by chest computed tomography. The diagnosis of a hepatoblastoma was made from the patient's age, the location of the
