[Epidemiologic study of cardiovascular risk factors in Alcala de Henares, Madrid].

We studied the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (included arterial hypertension, tobacco, diabetes, dyslipemias) in Alcalá de Henares population during the period 1992-1993, following the WHO criterias and protocols. The results upon 12,000 analyzed individuals showed dates similar to other spanish studies in relationship with arterial hypertension and diabetes (factors with known genetic determinants) and, in lesser degree, with tabaquism and hypercholesterolemia.

[Digestive manifestations of common variable immunodeficiency].

We present 4 cases of common variable immunodeficiency with main digestive clinical manifestations. In all four cases chronic diarrhea with intestinal malabsorption predominated, as well as the presence lymphoid nodular hyperplasia; in one case Giardia infestation could be identified; one patient also presented chronic pancreatitis, or recurrent aphthous stomatitis and active chronic hepatitis; sideroblastic anemia could be observed in another patient. All patients had favorable evolution during follow-up which lasted at least 14 months in substitutive treatment with immunoglobulins. One of our patients presented an elevated number of suppressor T lymphocytes, with inversion of the T helper/T suppressor ratio which improved with cimetidine treatment.

[Primary mesenteric venous thrombosis].

Mesenteric venous thrombosis is a rare disease, and is secondary to several known causes. Recently, it has been proven that some coagulation alterations (such as: antithrombin III deficit, plasminogen, S protein, etc.) play a role in its pathogenesis. Nevertheless, 10% of the cases are still of unknown origin (primary mesenteric venous thrombosis). We present a case of primary mesenteric venous thrombosis with a very good clinical evolution.

[Serious vascular complications in malignant carcinoid tumor].

The malignant carcinoid tumor generally shows a rapid clinical evolution, which can be accelerated even further by the complication at great vessels level, be it by compression or tumoral invasion of them. We had the opportunity to study 2 patients whose deaths were related to these complications: invasion of the inferior caval vein in its thoracic portion with development of Budd-Chiari syndrome of mediastinal carcinoid tumor and tumoral thrombosis of the spleen portal venous trunk in a bronchial carcinoid.
