[Incidence of dyslipidemia and diseases associated with arteriosclerosis in a hospital population].

The authors present the results of a research on 3,888 patients (1,768 males and 2,120 females) admitted to the 1st Internal Medicine Department of Leghorn Hospital during two years (from July 1993 to June 1995). The research is intended to value the hyperlipidaemia's incidence in hospitalized patients, and the association between hyperlipidaemias and some diseases generally considered as consequences or favouring conditions of atherosclerosis. The results of the study show the not secondary role of hyperlipidaemias in hospitalization phenomen and their frequent association with important cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.

[The phenomenon of water entrapment in the formation and course of edema. A physiopathological mechanism useful for therapeutic purposes].

Results with a diffusor enzyme (thiomucasi) in the medical management of oedema in 29 subjects are presented. This substance was used on the assumption that interstitial mucopolysaccharides trap water by means of a polymerisation-depolymerisation process, so that its release necessitates rupture of chemicophysical bonds. The results point to the effectiveness of the drug and the soundness of this interpretation.

[Hematological and hematochemical signs in the diagnosis of chronic alcoholism in its early stages].

Lab tests designed to reveal the presence of pathological liver and haemopoietic organ alterations were run in 72 alcohol addicts. It was found that chronic alcoholism is more often accompanied by hypoazotaemia (90.28% of cases), increased globular volume (90.28%), increased IgA (85%), decreased blood transferrin (95.45%), and increase Ig A: blood transferrin ratio (90%) than by other signs. Liver biopsy and sternal puncture, together with gastroendoscopy, showed that these signs are constant and early evidence of initial anatomical and functional damage to the liver and blood production organs due to alcohol.
