[Prevention of gastroduodenal stress lesions with secretion inhibitors in accident patients needing intensive care: incidence of lesions and adverse effects; consequences].

Prevention of gastrointestinal stress lesions by cimetidine or pirenzepine was investigated in a double blind study of trauma patients in an intensive care unit. Cimetidine or pirenzepine were administered intravenously to 55 consecutive randomized patients. All were checked by endoscopy on admission and 8 days later. 5 therapy failures were found in each group. Patients with more than 5 erosions and/or ulcerations were classified as failures. A side effect encountered was sinus tachycardia in 4 of 27 patients treated with pirenzepine. Overall, a trend towards fewer stress lesions was found in the pirenzepine protected group.

[Carpal tunnel syndrome in tuberculous tendosynovitis of the hand].

A case of tuberculous tendosynovitis of the hand is reported. Since this is a very rare disease nowadays, which if untreated results in caseoid necrosis and destruction of the flexor tendon apparatus, we thought it interesting to draw attention to this observation. The unspecific symptoms and diagnostic signs are discussed. Therapy consists in an early combination of surgery and tuberculostatic therapy. Without treatment, caseoid necrosis and destruction of the flexor tendons ensue.

Irrigation drainage with intracatheter in severe infections of the hand.

Severe infections of the hand and fingers still challenge the surgeon's skill in spite of modern antibiotics. Very often patients are referred too late, with inadequate incisions and insufficient drainage. In addition, wound edges tend to seal up rapidly, even if no sutures are inserted. In the management of such infections we have successfully introduced an irrigation drainage system, using a common intracather (I-Cath). The method described here is simple, atraumatic and shortens the time of treatment.

[17-year results following vagotomy and pyloroplasty].

Report on 51 patients who underwent surgery for peptic ulcer between 1964 and 1966 by truncular vagotomy and pyloroplasty. The recurrence rate was 6.6% for duodenal ulcer and 19.9% for gastric ulcer. Two carcinomas were detected in the latter group. In neither group were dumping or diarrhea symptoms observed.
