To determine if carbohydrates perfused into the ileum affect gastric emptying and circulating levels of gastrointestinal hormones, 18 healthy subjects were intubated with an oroileal tube. A 400-cal (60% carbohydrate, 20% protein, 20% fat) homogenized meal labeled with 111In-DTPA was then infused

Fifty-seven patients admitted with the clinical diagnosis of acute pancreatitis had isoamylase analysis on their sera to determine the source of their hyperamylasemia. Our objective was to correlate the isoamylase pattern with our clinical observations. Thirty-nine of 57 patients (68%) had

In the absence of acute abdominal pain, significant headache, or recent initiation of certain medications, acute nausea and vomiting is usually the result of self-limited gastrointestinal infections. Nausea and vomiting is also a common adverse effect of radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and surgical

A 54-year old man with a family history of hyperlipidemia was admitted with a 12 h history of severe generalized abdominal pain associated with nausea, vomiting and abdominal distension. Examination of the abdomen revealed tenderness in the periumblical area with shifting dullness. Serum pancreatic

Background: Hypothyroidism is an endocrine disorder that has worldwide prevalence and can affect multiple organ systems. We report a case of hypothyroidism with elevated pancreatic amylase and trypsin without acute pancreatitis. No such

OBJECTIVE The diagnosis of acute pancreatitis during pregnancy is usually based on the association of upper abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting, and elevated serum amylase or lipase activities. The changes in these enzymatic activities have not been clearly established during normal pregnancy. The

We hypothesized that selective ordering of serum amylase in the emergency department (ED) is justified because (a) most patients with elevated amylase can be prospectively identified by characteristic clinical findings, and (b) the diagnosis of pancreatitis is usually predominantly based on clinical

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) accompanies any other intra-abdominal pathology. Serum amylase/lipase levels are commonly used in order to rule out acute pancreatitis in patients having abdominal pain in DKA. A more specific and noninvasive diagnostic tool - amylase/creatinine clearance ratio (ACCR) -

Histologically confirmed small cell lung cancer associated with Cushing's syndrome and elevated amylase is rarely described in the literature. We present a case of a 63-year-old patient admitted to cardiology department due to shortness of breath, exhaustion, palpitations and nausea. Elevated values

We evaluated the efficacy and toxicity of aclarubicin for acute non-lymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) refractory to daunorubicin in childhood. Twenty-four patients were treated with aclarubicin and prednisolone with or without 6-mercaptopurine and behenoyl-cytosine arabinoside daily for 5 to 14 days. Of

Mump morbidity in Lithuania and the City of Siauliai has rapidly increased in 1999; 5946 and 879, respectively. During the past decade, the number of cases was much lower: in Lithuania from 383 to 632, and in the City of Siauliai from 6 to 31. There were 87 cases of mumps diagnosed (M-72, F-15). The

BACKGROUND Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a widely disseminated herpesvirus that is spread by intimate contact between susceptible persons and asymptomatic EBV shedders. Clinical manifestations range from uncomplicated infectious mononucleosis to Burkitt lymphoma. The majority of primary EBV infections

Although acute postoperative pancreatitis is a relatively frequent complication after open biliary tract surgery and gastric surgery, acute pancreatitis after spine surgery is a rare complication. We report the first case of acute pancreatitis after posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) for

Massive hemorrhage associated with pancreatitis is a rare but frequently lethal complication. Fifteen patients with this complication are presented. Bleeding occurred in four patients with necrotizing pancreatitis, in three patients with pancreatic abscesses, in seven patients with pseudocysts, and

The aim of this study was to investigate thiotepa (TT) and fludarabine (Fluda) as a preparative regimen for allogeneic peripheral stem cell transplant in patients not eligible for a standard myeloablative regimen due to comorbidities and/or poor performance status. TT was given at a dose of 10 mg/kg
