Colitis of Behçet's syndrome.

A 25-year-old previously healthy man developed complete Behçet's syndrome during five weeks. His main complaint was diarrhea with blood. Ulcers resembling aphthous ulcers of the mouth were revealed in the transverse, left and sigmoid colon by X-ray and sigmoidoscopy. Prednisone therapy was initiated and resulted in complete clinical restitution within three weeks.

Enteral glucose-polymer-electrolyte solution in the treatment of chronic fluid and electrolyte depletion in short-bowel syndrome.

A 55-year-old woman with extensive small-bowel resection and total colectomy complicated by chronic fluid and electrolyte depletion, achieved fluid and electrolyte homeostasis using a glucose-polymer-electrolyte solution. This is probably due to a solvent drag mechanism in the jejunum, in which nutrients such as glucose or aminoacids promote the passive absorption of electrolytes and water.
