Efficacy of TPN in cirrhotic patients with bleeding esophageal varices .

The efficacy of TPN was evaluated in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension and bleeding esophageal varices. Two groups of patients were studied: the first group underwent routine treatment and the second group was treated with TPN both pre-and postoperatively. Metabolic humoral parameters (proteins, electrolytes, gas levels) as well as specific nutritional parameters (anthropometric values, immune state, nitrogen balance) of the two groups were compared. The most suitable parenteral nutrition is assessed in cases where the cirrhotic patient shows a severe encephalopathy.

Thyrotoxicosis and thyroid cancer: a report on eight operated cases.

Eight cases of hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer, representing 0.96% of overall hyperfunctioning thyroid diseases (835), surgically treated are reported. Clinical and pathological data, and type of treatment are summarized. The etiopathogenic hypotheses about possible relations between thyrotoxicosis and thyroid cancer are discussed. In the presence of thyrotoxicosis, preoperative diagnosis of thyroid cancer is rather difficult, but awareness of the potential association and careful examination of any suspect nodularity make it possible to recognize minimal malignant foci and adequately treat them with total thyroidectomy and, when required, modified neck dissection.

[Perforated duodenal ulcer. Personal experience].

Reference is made to personal experience in affirming that the treatment of perforated duodenal ulcer should set out to resolve both the perforation and the ulcer at the same time. Troncular vagotomy combined with pyroloplasty is put forward as an effective way of achieving this, and long-term results on a par with those obtained electively are described.
