[A new environmental pathology: styrene-induced rhinitis].

We describe the case of a 36 ys aged woman complaining of symptoms of oculorhinitis with itching, occasional dyspnea and laryngeal constriction. The patient related her symptoms with the emission of dusts and steam from a factory in the neighbourhood producing manufactures using polyester resins dissolved in styrene. No bronchospastic response was obtained after challenge with methacoline and ultrasonic nebulization of distilled water, which instead provoked a significant increase of nasal resistance. The inhalation challenge with styrene produced a dual nasal response. To our knowledge this is the first case of non occupational neighbourhood rhinitis provoked by styrene.

[Massive intestinal resection in the newborn: nutritional and feeding problems].

Authors present their experience about nutritional treatment of short bowel syndrome in newborns. Their results seem to demonstrate that right approach to this problem is to start enteral nutrition as soon as possible, using mainly human milk and polimeric nutritional solutions. There are several experimental evidences that this kind of nutritional approach promote intestinal adaptation following massive intestinal resections.
