[Desopimon in the treatment of obesity].

The authors tested the tolerance and therapeutic effect of desopimon preparation (1-p-chlorophenyl-2-aminopropane hydrochloride) in 44 subjects with obesity--I, II and III degree. They found a manifested appetite-inhibiting effect of the medicament in 41 of the patients and slight in two (the treatment was discontinued in a female, due to urticaria). Side effects, similar to those described with phenformin and phenmethrazin derivatives were not established. Body-weight loss is 12,9 kg per subject for a period of a month and a half, and the analysis of the data revealed that the weight loss was entirely on the account of the fatty tissue reduction. Triglyceride diminution was established in serum whereas free fatty acids were increased. After the confrontation of their own data those of some other researchers, the authors recommend desopimon as a suitable additive means in the treatment of simple nutritive (hyperphagic) obesity.

[Obesity in correlation with nutrition in representative settlements of the industrial-agrarian complex in Burgas].

The authors investigated the obesity incidence in connection with nutrition factors in 13 representative settlements of Industry-Agrarian Complex Burgas. They established that obesity covers 42,4 per cent of the population above the age of 14 and is 1,5 times more often among females as compared with males. The correlation among youths (age 14-25), mature aged subjects (26-50) and advanced aged ones (over 51) is 1:5,5:4,5. The light I and II stages prevail (88,6 per cent of all the cases) and the majority of the "pure" cases of obesity (73,6 per cent) have no complains.

[Late complications in patients having undergone a gastric resection].

A total of 37 patients who had undergone partial gastrectomy for duodenal or gastric ulcers, were investigated. The postoperative periods ranged from 5 to 28 years. All the patients were subjected to comprehensive clinical and neurologic examinations. The content of vitamin B12 and folic acid in the blood serum was studied by radioimmunoassay in 29 gastrectomized patients, hematological parameters (hemoglobin, serum iron, red blood cell morphology, proteinogram) were estimated in 19 patients. The mean content of vitamin B12 in the blood serum of patients was lower than in normal subjects. The mean level of folic acid in the blood of patients was also lower than in the control, however, this difference was insignificant. Nine patients had subnormal content of vitamin B12, eight of them showed manifest neurologic complications, such as myelopathy and polyneuropathy. Only 3 patients had subnormal content of folic acid in the blood serum. Weakly pronounced anemic syndrome was detected only in 2 out of 19 patients. The role of vitamin B12 deficiency in the development of neurologic symptoms has been considered.
