Regional intravenous guanethidine blocks in algodystrophy.

Five-hundred-thirteen regional intravenous guanethidine blocks were carried out in 125 cases of algodystrophy (118 adults), after failure of other treatments in 120 cases (Group I) and without previous treatments in 5 (Group II). A positive result occurred in 85 cases of Group I (71%) and in the 5 cases of Group II, after 4.5 +/- 1.7 blocks. In Group I the results did not differ significantly between upper (33 cases) and lower (87 cases) limb or in regard to sex, age, duration of disease, nature of previous treatments. The presence of psychic disorders was accompanied by less frequent (p less than 0.02) positive results. The tolerance was satisfactory in 85.6% of cases: 22 moderate side effects authorized a continuation of the blocks, 22 serious ones indicated interruption, especially one case of thrombophlebitis and another one of very transitory acute ischaemia. The risk of intolerance was significantly raised (p less than 0.02) by age. The regional guanethidine blocks seemed to be a good treatment for algodystrophy after failure of other treatments.

[Effect of arterial pressure level evaluated using ambulatory measurement on the two year course of microalbuminuria of type 1 diabetic subjects].

The aim of the present study is the evaluation two years apart of the effect of initial blood pressure values on ambulatory blood pressure determinations on the rise of microalbuminuria in 77 Type 1 diabetic patients. At the beginning of the study, subjects with incipient nephropathy have a whole day systolic and diastolic blood pressure greater than those whose microalbuminuria is below than 30 mg/24 h (127.7 +/- 15.1 mmHg versus 115 +/- 14.3 mmHg, p < 0.001; 76.6 +/- 8.1 mmHg versus 72.5 +/- 7.3 mmHg, p < 0.05). Among patients whose initial microalbuminuria was lower than 30 mg/24 h, incipient nephropathy will not be dependent on initial blood pressure values but conditioned by patients' age and duration diabetes of mellitus. On the other hand, blood pressure increases the microalbuminuria of the patients who had incipient nephropathy at the beginning of the study. In patients with diabetes mellitus, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring appreciates the impact of the pressure rise on the kidney, retina and heart.
