Technetium-99m labelled bran: a new agent for measuring gastric emptying.

Bran was labelled with 99mTc-pertechnetate, ingested as part of a normal meal and used to measure gastric emptying in 15 normal subjects and in 15 patients with ulcerative colitis. There was no significant difference between the gastric emptying curves of the normal subjects and the patients, suggesting that rapid gastric emptying does not contribute to diarrhoea in ulcerative colitis.

Radionuclide assessment of extravascular lung water in minimal pulmonary oedema.

Extravascular lung water (EVLW) has been measured by a non-invasive technique using 123I-antipyrine and 113Indiumm-transferrin, as diffusible and non-diffusible indicators, and a gamma-camera computer system. Group A patients were normal radiologically and clinically. Group B patients were radiologically normal, clinically normal but were previously in heart failure and are currently on diuretics. Group C patients were radiologically normal, currently on diuretics with signs of pulmonary oedema. EVLW per unit blood flow and per unit blood volume were normal in groups A and B but raised in Group C patients. The peak height to equilibrium ratio of the 123I-antipyrine first pass curve was itself a useful discriminator in minimal pulmonary oedema.
