A double blind trial of carbenoxolone and geranyl farnesyl acetate in gastric ulcer.

57 patients with a chronic gastric ulcer were treated as outpatients in a double blind comparison of carbenozolone 100 mg three times daily with the same dose of geranyl farnesyl acetate (Gefarnate). Healing rates for carbenoxolone were better than for gefarnate, but not significantly so. Nearly half the carbenoxolone-treated patients developed hypokalaemia or oedema, whereas no similar side-effects were found with gefarnate. Gefarnate, while not as effective as carbenoxolone, does appear to promote gastric ulcer healing. Its virtual absence of side-effects makes it a safe and useful drug.

Deep venous thrombosis in the spastic upper limb.

Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of the upper extremity (UE) is an uncommon diagnosis, whereas DVT of the lower extremity is a well-known cause of morbidity and mortality in the rehabilitation patient. Patients with UE DVT secondary to venous stasis, vessel wall abnormalities, hypercoagulability, venous instrumentation and cancer have been previously reported in the literature. To our knowledge no case of DVT in a spastic upper extremity has been noted. A case report of a patient with UE DVT in a spastic extremity secondary to traumatic brain injury is presented, with a discussion of the aetiology, diagnosis and management of this disorder.
