[Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography: an advanced technique in the diagnosis of biliopancreatic diseases (the first experience in Panama)].

We evaluated the biliopancreatic pathology by a non invasive method of Choloangiqgraphy by Magnetc Resonance (the first experience in Panamá). We correlated the method with the retrograde cholangiopancreatography, the surgical findings and the clinical evolution. Our conclusion is that the non invasive method allows us to have confidence in the findings for the biliopancreatic pathology.

[Effectiveness and safety of 150 mg vs 300 mg ranitidine twice a day in duodenal ulcer].

394 patients with endoscopically diagnosed duodenal ulcer were randomly allocated to treatment with ranitidine 150 bid o ranitidine 300 mg bid in a prospective double-blind multicenter trial conducted in seven LatinoAmerican countries. Endoscopy at 4 weeks showed complete ulcer healing en 171 of 196 patients (87.2%) treated with ranitidine 150 mg bid and 178 of 198 (89.9%) treated with ranitidine 300 mg bid. Both treatment regimens were equally effective at rapidly reducing the incidence of ulcer-related symptoms. It is possible that higher dosage regimen of ranitidine would be useful in patients with more severe duodenal ulcer disease.

[Endoscopic management in biliary problems. 4 years' experience].

We studied the clinical records of 81 patients referred for endoscopic sphincterotomy in the period of June 1985 to December 1989, 54 were females and 27 males. Indication for the procedure were stones in the choledochus in 68 (84%) patients, malignant neoplasm that affected the biliary tree in 9 (11.1%), "sump syndrome" in 2 (2.5%), intrahepatic papillary stenosis and stones in 1 case, respectively. In 13 of the 81 patients the procedure was accompanied by treatment with the use of biliary prosthesis. We used the endoscopic sphincterotomy in 73 of the 81 (90.1%) patients, observing acute complications in 6.2% due to bleeding at the point of tubal insertion, pancreatitis, or acute cholecystitis. In 10 (76%) of 13 patients, in which the biliary prosthesis was used, the procedure was successful; in only one, acute cholangitis. There was no mortality associated with the procedure.
