[Upper digestive hemorrhage in acute pancreatitis].

We proposed to investigate the following parameters regarding upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage occurring in the patients with acute pancreatitis: incidence, form of manifestation, severity, correlated to the clinical and morpho-pathological form of acute pancreatitis, cause (direct causality or morbid association). The study was carried out on the inpatients of the internal-medicine and surgery units over a period of one year. For sake of accuracy the study also included the cases submitted to necropsy over a period of 5 years. The practical experience has revealed that though gastrointestinal bleeding is not a frequent complication--9.1% in the patients with acute pancreatitis and 36.3% of the necropsied cases--it is often severe, which imposes the early recognition for its adequate management.

[The determination by computed scintigraphy of the evacuation time of the resected stomach under the administration of salbutamol and dopamine].

The evacuation time (T1/2) of the stomach was determined in the patients with partial gastric resection by a sequential computerized scintigraphic method. The effect of Salbutamol and Dopamine was followed on T1/2 and the scintigraphic surface of the stomach (appreciated indirectly by measuring the longitudinal and transversal diameters). Salbutamol prolongs significantly T1/2, from 6.41 +/- 2.72 minutes to 12.33 +/- 6.45 minutes. The scintigraphic surface of the resected stomach is not slightly modified by Salbutamol. Dopamine prolongs very much T1/2, from 13.00 +/- 4.01 minutes to 75.03 +/- 24.36 minutes, in parallel with the increase of the scintigraphic image of the stomach. Our investigations lead to the conclusion that Salbutamol, given per os, may become a new therapeutic mean in the dumping syndrome.

Prevalence of gallstones in liver cirrhosis: a sonographic survey.

A sonographic prospective study of the prevalence of gallstones was performed in 140 patients with liver cirrhosis and in 140 controls. Gallstones were found more often in cirrhotic patients (29.2%) than in controls (13.6%) (p less than 0.01). Their prevalence increased with age. The ratio of women to men in cirrhotics was the same as in the general population, with a higher prevalence in women. The prevalence of gallstones increased in decompensated liver disease. There was a significantly higher prevalence of both hypersplenism and hemolysis in cirrhosis. No difference was found in gallstone prevalence in relation to cirrhosis etiology. This prospective study confirms, by means of sonography, the high prevalence of cholelithiasis in liver cirrhosis, and extends the previous data about the lithogenic risk factors in this disease.
