(1) Fairly frequently the patients complained about mucosal dryness and sporadically about dyspeptic symptoms, but these symptoms were not disturbing the course of the treatment.
(2) It is reported on a 38-year-old female patient who was treated for 18 days with 150 mg cordanum (talinolol) each and then fell ill with a dyspeptic clinical picture and signs of cholestase.
(3) Four patients had severe dyspeptic symptoms and four severe dyspepsia plus dumping.
(4) In remission he developed coeliac disease, controlled by dietary measures, but 26 months after the end of chemotherapy a severe dyspeptic syndrome appeared; endoscopy and barium meal suggested the presence of a gastric tumour, which was surgically removed and showed the histological features of a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, lympho-histiocytic type.
(5) Endoscopic studies, which have attempted to relate the presence of a lesion to dyspeptic symptoms have shown a poor correlation, indicating a high risk of perforation and bleeding without prior symptomatic warning.
(6) Gastric antral endoscopic pinch biopsies from a group of dyspeptic patients were analysed for acute and chronic inflammatory cell numbers in the lamina propria and surface epithelial layer using computer-linked graphic tablet planimetry, and independently graded for Campylobacter pylori (CP) infection using a visual scoring system with grade 1 assessed as patchy epithelial infection and grade 2 as a continuous layer of organisms on the mucosal surface extending into gastric pits.
(7) Gender, alcohol use, endoscopic appearance, dyspeptic symptoms, mucosal inflammation, and the presence of H. pylori had no consistent effect on prostaglandin content.
(8) However, on smoking a cigarette, appreciable increase in duodenogastric reflux was seen in nine out of the 13 normal volunteers and in seven out of the nine dyspeptic patients.
(9) The rate of emptying in the symptomatic groups was compared with that in 24 asymptomatic normal control subjects and 12 non-dyspeptic patients with gallbladder disease.
(10) It is conceivable that a rising number of very aged patients with dyspeptic symptoms will come to observation as a consequence of the increasing mean age of the population; however there is not yet a complete agreement to submit patients with extremely advanced age to an EGD.
(11) which are specific against antigenic determinants of the bacterial body, were determined in 183 non-ulcer dyspeptic children and adolescents, aged 7- to 20 years.
(12) Using a linear regression model, autonomic neuropathy, diarrhea and dyspeptic symptoms were the major parameters in predicting delayed gastric emptying.
(13) Along with typical signs of erythema, signs were found characteristic of yersiniosis, namely, mesadenitis, acute hepatitis, desquamative glossitis, changes in the ileocecal region, dyspeptic phenomena, tendency to a wave-like course.
(14) The difference was insignificant, as were the alterations in the individual dyspeptic symptoms between the groups.
(15) Similar, albeit generally milder, changes were found in 47 of 316 (15%) non-surgical patients undergoing endoscopy for dyspeptic symptoms.
(16) Thirteen major bands and about 30 minor bands could be identified by Western blotting when sera from 53 consecutive dyspeptic patients, 27 healthy children, and 25 blood donors were evaluated.
(17) Levels were also measured in non-dyspeptic patients with gallbladder disease and normal controls.
(18) The effect of chronic oral administration of cimetidine (1 g per day) and ranitidine (300 mg per day) on plasma levels of prolactin (PRL), testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and human growth hormone was compared in 2 groups of male patients who presented with dyspeptic symptoms.
(19) Apart from 3 patients who required surgery for gallstone complications, treatment was well tolerated, and both dyspeptic symptoms and frequency of biliary colic were reduced.
(20) Recurrence was predicted with a probability of about 75% in patients with dyspepsia, the proportion between recurrences and dyspeptic nonrecurrences being 1:1.
