Midazolam versus diazepam as premedication for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy: a randomized, double-blind, crossover study.
The effectiveness of midazolam as premedication for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was examined and compared with that of diazepam in a double-blind crossover study involving 23 patients. The degree of sedation and cooperation of patients during the procedure and the speed of recovery from sedation were comparable for the two drugs. The effects of both compounds on arterial blood pressure and heart rate were quite similar. However, midazolam induced significantly more amnesia than diazepam (91% vs. 39%). Also, patients' acceptability for the procedure was significantly higher in the midazolam than in the diazepam group (78% vs. 26%). Therefore, when amnesia is desirable, as in the case of repeated endoscopies, midazolam should be the drug of choice.

Return to normal values of lipid pattern after effective chemotherapy in acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
In the present work we investigated HDL-C and its subfractions HDL2 and HDL3 as well as total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), LDL-C, VLDL-C, apolipoproteins A1 (ApoA1) and B (ApoB) and lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a) in 25 patients with newly diagnosed acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) before and after induction treatment. The mean basal plasma levels of TC, HDL-C and its subfractions, LDL-C, and ApoA1 were significantly lower than the mean values observed in normal subjects, whereas TG and VLDL-C were significantly higher. The patients (n = 22) who achieved complete remission after chemotherapy showed a significant increase of TC, HDL-C, HDL2, HDL3, ApoA1 and a significant decrease of TG and VLDL-C. These data suggest that ALL patients are characterized by a lipid metabolic derangement mainly of HDL and TG-rich lipoproteins, that is reversed by effective treatment of disease.
