Terfenadine (single or associated) treatment of adverse reactions to foods.

Six groups of patients (total 105), affected by cutaneous signs and symptoms related to food ingestion were studied with regards to the clinical efficacy of some pharmacologic treatments: blind placebo, terfenadine alone, terfenadine associated with pirenzepine or rosaprostol or ranitidine or famotidine. Pharmacologic treatment by terfenadine alone showed poor clinical results, similar to placebo, while the associations of terfenadine with both cytoprotective drugs and anti-H2 receptor antagonists revealed significant clinical improvement which is more evident in those patients treated with cytoprotective drugs combination than those who were treated with anti-H2 antagonists.

Adrenal gland photoscanning by means of 131I-iodinated cholesterol.

Photoscanning by means of 131I-19-iodinated cholesterol was performed on 10 patients with various diseases of the adrenal glands. The authors confirmed that the method was suitable for study of the morphology and function of the adrenal glands in disease, especially when combined with stimulation by ACTH or suppression by dexamethasone. The radiation dose absorbed by the thyroid and by the gonads can be controlled during the examination by blocking the iodine trapping and suppression of the gonado-stimulating action, respectively.
