paba/diarrhea

For evaluation of pancreatic function testing, a peptide that releases p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) on digestion by chymotrypsin was given to clinically normal dogs and to dogs with unexplained diarrhea. Blood concentration of PABA and percentage of PABA excretion in the urine at 6 hours after oral

The N-benzoyl-L-tyrosyl-p-aminobenzoic acid (BT-PABA):xylose test was evaluated in 5 clinically normal dogs, 5 dogs with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI), and 7 dogs with intestinal malabsorption. A solution of BT-PABA (1 g/100 ml) and d-xylose (10 g/100 ml) was given orally (5 ml/kg of body

OBJECTIVE To determine the average concentration and its ranges of fecal elastase-1 (FE1) in healthy controls; to calculate the sensitivity and specificity of FE1 in the assay of pancreatic insufficiency; and to evaluate the diagnosing and differentiating value of FE1 in pancreatic

Exocrine pancreatic function was determined by oral administration of N-benzoyl-L-tyrosyl-p-aminobenzoic acid (peptic-PABA-test) in 120 controls, 74 patients with chronic pancreatitis, 35 patients with acute pancreatitis 2--6 weeks after recovery, 201 patients with a variety of gastro-intestinal

Salmonella typhimurium SL1479, an auxotrophic mutant strain having a complete block in the aromatic biosynthetic pathway and therefore requiring p-aminobenzoic acid and 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate not available in mammalian tissues, was given orally in a dose of 10(10) live bacteria to 4- to 5-week-old

Macaca fascicularis monkeys were orally infected with live virulent Shigella flexneri wild-type strains of either serotype Y (S. flexneri SFL1), 2a (S. flexneri M4243) or 1b (S. flexneri SFL27). Clinical signs of shigellosis varied from mild watery diarrhea (SFL1) to dysentery (M4243, SFL27), with a

Objective In symptom-dependent diseases such as functional dyspepsia (FD), matching the pattern of epigastric symptoms, including severity, kind, and perception site, between patients and physicians is critical. Additionally, a comprehensive examination of the stomach, duodenum, and pancreas is

Intestinal digestive and absorptive function and the gross and histologic appearance of the gastrointestinal tract were evaluated in Basenji dogs with chronic diarrhea, asymptomatic Basenji dogs, and healthy control dogs. Gastric rugal hypertrophy, lymphocytic gastritis, and gastric mucosal atrophy

Eleven adult Basenji dogs with immunoproliferative small intestinal disease (IPSID) were studied. Two items of history related to the digestive tract were characteristic: (i) chronic intractable diarrhea in most dogs, and (ii) progressive emaciation. Anorexia was intermittent in only a few dogs. In
