The aim of this study, therefore, was (1) evaluate both gastroduodenal fasting motility and gastric emptying in subjects with functional dyspepsia, with and without gastritis, and (2) to correlate the motility pattern to H p infection. Materials and Methods.Thirty-eight patients were studied, 20 positive for Hp infection (15 with gastritis) and 18 Hp-negative (8 with gastritis). All the subjects underwent 240-minute manometric recording of the interdigestive migrating motor complex, with evaluation of gastric and duodenal motility pattern and scintigraphic study of gastric emptying. Results.Whereas gastric emptying half-times did not differ in the subgroups of dyspeptic patients, a significant reduction of gastric phase 111s of the migrating motor complex was detected between Hp-positive and Hp negative subjects, both in overall patients (p 〈 .01) and in patients with gastritis (p 〈 .05). Conclusions.Hp infection seems to be related to a reduction of interdigestive gastric activity fronts, though it does not affect gastric emptying. The conflicting data regarding gastric emptying and interdigestive motility in Hp infection could be explained as probably investigating two different functional aspects.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 2005Staff ViewISSN: 1365-2230Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: MedicineNotes: In a series of 30 patients affected by severe anorexia nervosa (AN) we examined hair samples to detect the prevalence of acquired pili torti (APT). True APT were not detected but in two cases (6.6%) twisted hair was observed. The first case was a 24-year-old woman with secondary amenorrhoea for 9 years, whose body mass index (BMI) was 12.2 kg/m2. She also had severe skin xerosis and hypertrichosis. The second case was a 24-year-old woman with secondary amenorrhoea for 1 year, whose BMI was 11.3 kg/m2. She also had severe skin and lip xerosis, severe effluvium, cystic acne, acrocyanosis, perimylolysis (severe erosion of the dentition) and scars due to cigarette burns on her forearms. Reviewing the literature we noticed that the largest series of pili torti − congenital and acquired − were published by authors from countries such as Israel and Egypt. We therefore hypothesize that, under the same conditions, a genetic factor may predispose to this hair shaft defect.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 2003Staff ViewISSN: 1600-0560Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: MedicineNotes: Background: Cutaneous metastasis from neuroendocrine carcinomas of visceral origin is rarely described in indexed literature. The primary sites of origin include: lung (Wick et al., J Am Acad Dermatol 1985; 13: 134), larynx (Zambruno et al., Ann Dermatol Venereol 1989; 116: 855; Schmidt et al., J Laryngol Otol 1994; 108: 272; Guerzider et al., Ann Pathol 1991; 11 (4): 253), mediastinum (Yoshimasu et al., J Dermatol 2001; 28 (3): 168), uterus (Fogaca et al., J Cutan Pathol 1993; 20: 455), and thymus (Wick et al., J Am Acad Dermatol 1985; 13: 134).Methods: In this report, the authors present the clinical, histological, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural characteristics of secondary skin localizations of a neuroendocrine laryngeal tumor that occurred in a 61-year-old man. The complete follow up of the case is described and a brief revision of the terminology and classification of neuroendocrine neoplasms of the larynx is discussed, since a significant relationship exists between the degree of differentiation and biological behavior.Results: On histological examination, the secondary cutaneous localization appeared to be more dedifferentiated compared to the primary tumor. The immunohistochemical patterns of reactivity were similar in both neoplasms, showing expression of neuroendocrine and epithelial markers.Conclusions: An important issue of prognostic significance is to differentiate a cutaneous metastasis of a neuroendocrine carcinoma from the primary small cell-undifferentiated carcinoma of the skin (Merkel cell carcinoma).Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 1997Staff ViewISSN: 1365-2036Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: MedicineNotes: Background: Dual therapy with omeprazole plus amoxycillin or with omeprazole plus clarithromycin has been proposed for eradication of Helicobacter pylori. The main problem is the great variability in the rate of eradication. Methods: A group of 287 consecutive patients with active peptic ulcers and H. pylori infections were admitted to a prospective, randomized, multicentre study, to be given omeprazole 20 mg b.d. plus either amoxycillin 1 g b.d. or clarithromycin 500 mg t.d.s. for 2 weeks. Cure was defined as the absence of H. pylori infection, 4–6 weeks after completing anti-microbial therapy, assessed by urease activity and histology of antral and body gastric biopsies. Results: The bacteria were eradicated in 68/143 patients (48%) treated with amoxycillin and omeprazole and 70/144 patients (49%) treated with clarithromycin and omeprazole (intention-to-treat analysis). The ulcers were healed in 118/127 patients (93%) treated with amoxycillin and in 115/123 (94%) of those treated with clarithromycin. Undesirable effects were rare with both treatments. Conclusions: Combined treatment with omeprazole plus either amoxycillin or clarithromycin produced a high percentage of short-term healing of ulcers and was well tolerated, but is not useful as first-line anti-Helicobacter pylori treatment.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 1996Staff ViewISSN: 1365-2036Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: MedicineNotes: Aim: To compare the eradicating capacity of two different antibiotic–lansoprazole combinations (amoxycillin vs. standard triple therapy) with that of lansoprazole alone in Helicobacter pylori-positive duodenal ulcer patients. Methods: Ninety-six out-patients with H. pylori-positive duodenal ulcer were randomly assigned to receive one of the following three antiulcer regimens: (1) lansoprazole 30 mg b.d. for 4 weeks plus amoxycillin 1 g t.d.s. during the last 2 weeks; or (2) lansoprazole 30 mg once daily for 4 weeks plus classical triple therapy (tripotassium dicitratobismuthate 240 mg b.d., amoxycillin 1 g t.d.s. and tinidazole 500 mg b.d.) for the last 2 weeks; or (3) lansoprazole 30 mg once daily for 4 weeks. Endoscopy was repeated at the end of treatment and 1 month later. A rapid urease test and histology were used to determine H. pylori status. Results: Duodenal ulcer healing rates at 4 weeks were 96% after both lansoprazole with amoxycillin, and lansoprazole with triple therapy, and 97% after lansoprazole alone. Eradication of H. pylori was significantly better with lansoprazole with triple therapy than with either lansoprazole with amoxycillin or lansoprazole alone (90% vs. 55% vs. 3%, respectively). Conclusion: Classical triple therapy combined with lansoprazole is significantly more effective than the lansoprazole with amoxycillin combination for the eradication of H. pylori in duodenal ulcer patients pre-treated with lansoprazole.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 2005Staff ViewISSN: 1365-2036Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: MedicineNotes: Background : The potential clinical implications of autoimmunity during treatment with infliximab are unclear.Aim : To determine the frequency and correlation of autoantibody formation in patients with Crohn's disease treated with infliximab in a routine clinical setting.Methods : Sixty-three patients with refractory/inflammatory (31) and/or fistulising Crohn's disease (32), received an infliximab infusion at a dose 5 mg/kg in weeks 0, 2 and 6, and were evaluated for the development of antinuclear, anti-double-stranded DNA, anti-Sm, anti-RNP, anti-SSA, anti-SSB and antihistone antibodies. The correlates with pharmacological treatments, the response to infliximab and adverse events were evaluated.Results : Antinuclear antibodies were found in five of the 63 patients (8%) at baseline and in 26 (42%) after 10 weeks (P 〈 0.001). Of the 26 antinuclear antibody-positive patients who were further subtyped, nine of 63 (17%) had anti-double-stranded DNA (P = 0.003), and 1.5% were extractable nuclear antigen (ENA) and antihistone-positive. Five patients were initially positive for anticardiolipin antibodies and two more patients became positive during infliximab treatment. New autoantibody formation was more frequent in the patients with inflammatory/refractory disease than in those with fistulising disease (17 vs. 7; P = 0.02). One patient developed drug-induced lupus without major organ damage.Conclusions : Autoantibody formation occurs in 42% of patients (8% of these patients were positive before infliximab treatment) with Crohn's disease receiving induction treatment with infliximab, but the clinical significance of this remains to be determined.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1432-1084Keywords: Chronic enlargement ; Salivary glands ; Cyst ; HIV-positive ; Nodes ; UltrasoundSource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: MedicineNotes: Abstract Chronic enlargement of salivary glands and mainly of parotid glands has been noted in HIV-positive patients. Such alterations are due mainly to adenopathies (mainly intraglandular) or to the formation of lymphoepithelial cysts. During the period between January 1990 to June 1993 we studied 63 HIV-positive patients with enlargement (mainly monolateral) of the parotid glands and one patient with involvement of the submandibular gland. There were 59 adults (44 males and 15 females) 22–50 years of age, and five children 3–8 years. The fastest, least expensive and most appropriate investigative means for this pathology is echography, which was carried out in all patients. Only 18 patients were also studied with CT. We observed lymphadenopathies within or outside the parotid glands and lymphoepithelial cysts. Within some intraparotid cysts we observed an ultrasonographic pattern consisting of small high-level formations in suspension which, from cytologic evaluation of material obtained by needle aspiration, were referable to small crystals of calcium oxalate. We hypothesize that such microcalculi may play a role in the obstructive mechanism of the ducts in association with lymphoepithelial infiltration of the parotid ducts.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Primary and metastatic tumors of the liver can be treated successfully with transcatheter chemoembolization (TACE) during selective arterial catheterism. Arteritis is a possible referred side effect which can lead to tortuosity of the arteries, stenosis and occlusion of vessels. In our hospitals 117 consecutive patients were treated with TACE from January 1990 to December 1992; 61 patients were affected by hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and 56 were affected by metastases from colorectal carcinoma. Each patient received from 1 to 4 treatments at monthly intervals using epirubicin/Lipiodol ultrafluid (E/LUF) or a mixture of epirubicin and mitomicin C (MC)/LUF and followed by gelatine sponge injection in the hepatic artery. Selective angiography performed 30–62 days after the first chemoembolization showed artery stenosis in 7 patients and thrombosis in 2 cases related to toxic arteritis due to chemoembolization. Reports about arteritis during TACE treatments are discussed.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1572-9540Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: PhysicsNotes: Abstract Nickel-gamma iron interfaces obtained by growing films of Fe on Ni substrates are studied using CEMS. We have found that a) intermixing is confined to two atomic layers, b) Fe atoms deposited on structural defects of the Ni (111) surfaces are magnetically polarized, c) Fe epitaxially grown on Ni is highly susceptible at room temperature. Moreover the Ni−Fe interface shows Neel-type magnetic anisotropy.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL:
