Rice bran treatment for hypercalciuric patients with urinary calculous disease.

We report on the efficacy of rice bran in hypercalciuric patients with urinary calculous disease. After the administration of defatted rice bran at a dosage of 20 gm. daily for 4 weeks urinary calcium excretion was reduced significantly from 402 plus or minus 102 to 291 plus or minus 123 mg. per 24 hours. In 6 patients who showed a reduction of urinary calcium excretion an increase in urinary calcium excretion was observed 4 weeks after stopping the administration. All 7 patients who previously received defatted rice bran were given processed or rice bran free of phytin at a dosage of 20 gm. daily. The value of urinary calcium excretion increased again during the administration of processed rice bran but was less marked than that of the preceding 6 patients. Although it is interesting to debate whether the influence of rice bran on the urinary calcium excretion depends on the action of phytin or of other constituents defatted rice bran should be effective in reducing urinary excretion of calcium. These results would come up to the expectations of the patients with recurrent urinary calculous disease.

[A diagnosis of venous anomaly with dextrocardia by magnetic resonance imaging and transesophageal echocardiography].

A 56-year-old woman was admitted with the chief complaint of dyspnea. Chest radiograph and echocardiography disclosed mirror image dextrocardia with massive pleural effusion. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed dilated coronary sinus and persistent right-sided superior vena cava which entered the coronary sinus. These findings were compatible with those of digital subtraction angiography. Anomalies of the venous system must be recognized before surgery because adequate venous drainage is essential for extra-corporeal circulation. MRI and TEE are noninvasive and useful methods and should be performed first to detect anomalies of the venous system associated with dextrocardia.
