Abetalipoproteinemia treated with parenteral and oral vitamins A and E, and with medium chain triglycerides.

An 11-year-old girl with abetalipoproteinemia was treated with parenteral vitamin A and vitamin E for two and a half years. Some improvement in neurological and visual deficits was noted. On changing to oral vitamin E and later with addition of medium chain triglycerides (MCT) to the diet, a considerable improvement in her general wellbeing, neuromuscular lesions and ophthalmological symptoms was noted. This regimen is being adhered to for five and a half years. The condition is stable with no further improvement.

Ileostomates in Israel.

A survey of 47 Israeli ileostomates known to the Israel Ostomy Association was performed. The outstanding features are 1) a low (5 per cent) referral rate of patients with inflammatory bowel disease for procto colectomy and ileostomy; 2) a high (64-85 per cent) incidence of cutaneous problems; 3) a low rate of rehabilitation, as measured by return to previous occupation, sexual life and social adjustment. However, our 47 ostomates were operated on 14 institutions in five countries and live in a subtropical climate-factors that may negatively affect the outcome. Since the study, the situation has improved.

Single bolus versus drip infusion for intravenous cholangiography.

Biliary tract visualisation in 50 patients examined by infusion of methylglucamine iodipamide was compared, by double-blind technique, to cholangiograms obtained in 50 other patients by a single bolus injection. The infusion technique did not give better results than the single bolus method. In another group of 20 patients, each individual was examined by both methods. The radiographs, read in a double-blind manner, showed both methods to be comparable in demonstrating the biliary system. It seems that other means have to be designed and employed in order to improve the radiographic delineation of the biliary tract.

Visualisation of the small intestine by double contrast.

The visualisation of the small bowel by double contrast can be easily obtained by introduction of a suspension of barium sulphate, air insufflation, and parenteral administration of metoclopramide. Satisfactory demonstration of the entire small bowel by air and barium was obtained in 38 out of 40 unselected adult patients. There were no complications and no significant adverse reactions.
