[Drug therapy of mansoni schistosomiasis].

The various presentations of schistosomiasis mansoni are discussed, stressing the indications of parosites elimination. Parasitologic cure is necessary, although, when the infestation is recent (acute), the drug efficacy is lower than in the chronic forms. Surgery may be pertension, special care must be taken, and in the pseudotumoral form there is not enough diet regarding progression of the disease after treatment. Contraindications are linked to associated illness, and are due to toxic effects of the available drugs. The mechanism of action of such drugs are discussed, as well as the historical background. Hycantone, Oxamniquine and Praziquantel are detailed in separate, with the proposed drug schedules and possible side effects.

[Frequency of lipoprotein-X (LP-X) in icteric patients. Comparison with some bioquimical data (author's transl)].

The authors have studied the frequency of an abnormal lipoprotein (LP-X), by the method presented by YAE e col. (21). The LP-X test is useful in differentiating of a cholestatic process from a non-cholestatic one, but it is not adequate to distinguish an intrahepatic cholestasis from an extrahepatic biliary obstruction. Out of the 41 icteric patients who were studied, a frequency of the presence of the LP-X was observed in 68.3% thus distributed: viral hepatitis 90,5% obstructive jaundice 85,7%, jaundice of uncertain etiology 37.6%; it was not present in 5 patients with hepatic cirrhosis and in the serum of 21 healthy volunteers. A significant association was found between the presence of LP-X and an abnormal curve of lipoproteins.

They observed complete healing of the duodenal ulcer in 77%-83,3% in both groups of patients. They concluded that CBX is important in the treatment of duodenal ulcer been equally effective alone or in association with antacids.

[Colonoscopy technic. Evaluation of 80 examinations].

Eighty colonoscopies were done in 77 patients with the CF-MB Olympus colonoscope. A schedule of the examination is analyzed. The bowel preparation can be done at the patient's home. If the patient is well prepared psychologically, the use of antispasmodics or sedatives is not required. The position proposed for the patient is on his back with legs flexed. The symptom most frequently found during the examination was abdominal pain related to the introduction of the colonoscope and to the colon distension; 28,7% of the patients had no symptoms. In the absence of colon obstruction the colonoscope can reach the transverse colon even though fluoroscopy was not used. There were no complications in the 80 examinations performed.
