hypotension/diarrhea

A diabetic patient was treated with a somatostatin analogue, SMS 201-995, to control chronic diarrhea and orthostatic hypotension. The patient was injected with 50 micrograms, 100 micrograms, and 150 micrograms of SMS 201-995 subcutaneously twice daily for three days at each dose. Stool weight

The authors describe a case of very severe orthostatic hypotension with an invariable pulse arising during the course of considerable motor diarrhea. The diagnosis of primary dysautonomia was made only after eliminating the many organic causes of diarrhea: microbial, toxic, tumoral endocrine

In a patient with Shy-Drager syndrome the severe episodic diarrhea and orthostatic hypotension were both successfully treated with indomethacin.

A 53-year-old man complained of orthostatic, non-rotating dizziness, and chronic watery diarrhea of several years duration. His nerve-conduction velocity test revealed peripheral sensory-motor polyneuropathy and he showed an autonomic function abnormality. Echocardiographic examination showed

A 14-year-old girl presented with florid watery diarrhea, vomiting and hypotension without respiratory prodrome. Shock, multiorgan system failure and death rapidly ensued. Influenza A was detected from her nasopharynx and CA-MRSA (USA400), positive for pvl, mecA, sea, sec and seh genes was cultured

To determine the importance of bacteremia in hospitalized patients with diarrhea in Bangladesh, from September 1982 through August 1983 the authors obtained blood for culture from 1,824 patients who were suspected of having sepsis (44% of all admissions). Nontyphoid bacteremia occurred in 243

Twenty-seven Navajo adults with moderate to severe acute inflammatory diarrhea were hospitalized and randomly given ampicillin or sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim. All patients had invasive diarrhea as defined by sheets of fecal leukocytes, seen on methylene blue wet-slide preparations, and significant

Mast cell disorders are defined by an abnormal accumulation of tissue mast cells in one or more organ systems. In systemic mastocytosis, at least one extracutaneous organ is involved by definition. Although, systemic mastocytosis usually represents with skin lesion called urticaria pigmentosa, in a

In Alzheimer's disease (AD), an association was found between autonomic dysfunction and frontal hypoperfusion in brain during orthostatic testing. To ascertain whether frontal hypoperfusion is dependent on longitudinal effects of hemodynamic disturbances, or contributes to them, we studied the
