Only registered users can translate articles

To investigate the pathophysiology of steatorrhea in primary biliary cirrhosis, the severity of steatorrhea, small bowel histology and function, cholestasis, exocrine pancreatic secretion and liver histology were studied. Twenty-four primary biliary cirrhotic patients had a quantitative stool fat

Bone mineral density in patients with pancreatic insufficiency and steatorrhea.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Low bone mineral density (BMD) has been demonstrated in some patients with chronic intestinal disorders accompanied by diarrhea and malabsorption. However, very few studies have evaluated BMD in patients with pancreatic insufficiency due to cystic fibrosis. Our aim was to assess the

[The biological results of duodenocephalopancreatectomy. Clinical evaluations based on a long-term follow-up].

Only registered users can translate articles

The authors discuss the main features of the complex pathophysiology of patients subjected to duodenocephalopancreatectomy, and particularly the difficulties inherent in clinical assessment of the digestive and metabolic impairment consequent upon the duodeno-gastro-pancreatic mutilation. Out of a

Effects of ursodeoxycholic acid treatment on nutrition and liver function in patients with cystic fibrosis and longstanding cholestasis.

Only registered users can translate articles

The prevalence of biliary and hepatic diseases is increasing in patients with cystic fibrosis as more of them reach adult life. There is no effective treatment or method of preventing cholestasis in cystic fibrosis, although beneficial effects have been ascribed to the tertiary bile acid,

Effects of ursodeoxycholic acid therapy for liver disease associated with cystic fibrosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

The hydrophilic bile acid ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) has recently been shown to improve indexes of liver function in adult patients with various liver diseases. The clinical and biochemical responses to UDCA administration (10 to 15 mg/kg body weight per day) were therefore investigated in nine

[A follow-up study in individuals subjected to ileo-cecal resection in infancy and childhood].

Only registered users can translate articles

It is stated that the ileocecal valve delays the passage of ileal contents into the cecum and acts as a barrier against reflux and ascension of colonic bacterial flora into the small bowel: its resection may lead to bacterial colonization of the ileum and to abnormalities of intestinal motility,

Osteomalacia and secondary hyperparathyroidism after kidney transplantation: Relationship to vitamin D deficiency.

A mixture of extracts of black and green teas and mulberry leaf did not reduce weight gain in rats fed a high-fat diet.

Only registered users can translate articles

Tea extracts are used in many over-the-counter preparations claiming to promote weight loss. The rationale for this usage includes reports that green tea extract increases thermogenesis, and extracts of green and black tea and mulberry leaf inhibit the digestion/absorption of carbohydrate and fat.

Bone mineral metabolism and bone mineral density in alcohol related and idiopathic chronic pancreatitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND There is limited information on the bone mineral metabolism in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP). METHODS 103 patients with CP (all males: mean age 38.6 ± 20.64 yrs) and 40 age matched control males (mean age: 36.7 ± 20.70 yrs) were prospectively studied. Serum levels of 25 (OH)

Bone mineral metabolism, bone mineral density, and body composition in patients with chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic exocrine insufficiency.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Calcium and vitamin D homeostasis seem to be abnormal in patients with exocrine pancreatic dysfunction resulting from cystic fibrosis. Only a few studies have evaluated and described bone mineral metabolism in patients with chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic

Chlorpromazine-induced vanishing bile duct syndrome leading to biliary cirrhosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

We describe a 33-yr-old pregnant woman in whom a primary biliary cirrhosis-like syndrome developed after 2 wk of chlorpromazine therapy. The clinical course was characterized by severe jaundice lasting 22 mo, intense pruritus, fever, steatorrhea, high alkaline phosphatase levels and

Only registered users can translate articles

Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (ICP) constitutes the most common, reversible liver disease closely connected with pregnancy and spontaneously resolving in puerperium. ICP usually reoccurs in consecutive pregnancies (45-90%), often in a more intensified form. Many compounds (hormones,
