Children of homeless families: health status and access to health care.

The parents and children of homeless families are highly vulnerable to illness and the failure to receive timely and continuous health care. Data on health status and health care utilization were collected from 70 homeless families selected for an intensive case management program and compared to data for low-income families. The data suggest that homeless children do not utilize primary care or preventive care on a regular basis in comparison to low income children generally. These results have implications for the delivery of health care services to homeless families in shelters.

Response of gastric lymphoma to chemotherapy: radiographic appearance.

Although the initial radiographic appearance of gastric lymphoma is well described, there are few descriptions of the evolution of these gastric lesions after chemotherapy. Double-contrast upper gastrointestinal examinations were performed in four patients with gastric lymphoma before and after chemotherapy. The following responses were observed: (1) complete resolution without scarring, (2) resolution to a benign-appearing ulcer, (3) ulceration within a plaque associated with a decrease in tumor mass, and (4) ulceration, perforation, and healing to a benign-appearing ulcer scar. Ulceration of gastric lesions after chemotherapy, observed in two cases, was associated with occult gastrointestinal bleeding. These tumors may regress in response to chemotherapy, leaving a benign-appearing ulcer or ulcer scar as the only radiographic evidence of a lymphomatous gastric lesion.
