[Short term prognosis of ulcerative colitis (author's transl)].

The authors analyse the short-term prognosis of ulcerative colitis from a series of 65 patients followed during ten years and treated with the same attitude. The results are compared to those of the most important published, from which they differ just a little. The medical treatment is effective in 84,6% of cases. The mortality of first attack is 6,1%. Only 1,4% of patients in our series are colectomised. It seems that the short-term prognosis has been slightly better during the last few years perhaps because of improvement in management and appearance of corticosteroids and/or salazosulfapyridine. The factors of bad prognosis in a first attack are its severity, its extension to the whole colon, its beginning after 60 years.

[Hypophosphatemia in total parenteral nutrition (author's transl)].

There is a hypophosphoremic syndrome first discovered without parenteral nutrition (TPN) then on patients with TPN. It appears preferentially in patients suffering from denutrition and receiving an important caloric intake, particularly with glucose. Clinical picture associates psychic, neurologic and respiratory disorders. Phosphatemia is often below 10 mg/l or 0,33 mmol/l, with decrease or even disappearance of phosphatemia. The mechanism is still baby known. During TPN, it occurs an intra-cellular passage of phosphate whose consequences are anomalies in red blood cell metabolism, with decrease of tissular oxygenation, in white cell function, platelet function, central nervous system, muscle, liver and acid-base equilibrium. Treatment must be first preventive with careful control of phosphatemia and systematic intake of phosphates. Curative treatment associates correction of hypophosphatemia and simultaneous decrease of caloric intake.
