Hypoglycaemic coma due to chlorpropamide: observations on twenty-two patients.

Twenty-two patients with chlorpropamide-induced hypoglycaemic coma were seen at a medical centre serving a region with a large geriatric population. The median age of the patients was 72; seven were over 80 and only one was under 60. Four patients died and in three of them death appeared to be connected with the hypoglycaemia. In two cases, the hypoglycaemia appeared in the postoperative period. Generally accepted contra-indications to the use of chlorpropamide were present in five of the eight patients under 70 and in four of the 14 patients over 70. If full precautions had been taken in presecribing chlorpropamide and if old age had been regarded as a contra-indication, the hypoglycaemia might have been prevented in 19 out of the 22 patients.

Risk factors in ulcerative colitis.

In 504 Jewish patients with ulcerative colitis the following risk factors were evaluated: sex, age at onset of disease, community group, extent of disease, and duration of disease. The disease was more severe in females. Severe attacks, weight loss, iron deficiency, liver disease and arthritis were significantly more frequent in females than in mles. Mortality was higher in patients who contracted the disease above age 50. The disease appeared to be more severe in patiets of Ashkenazi origin as compared to Orientals. The difference failed to reach statistical signifcance except for mortality. We confirmed the well-known adverse effect of extensive colonic involvement. Severe attacks, a severe course of the disease and extensive colonic involvement are more frequent with increasing duration of the disease.

Ulcerative colitis in the Jewish population of Tel-Aviv Yafo. III. Clinical course.

The clinical course of ulcerative colitis has been studied and analyzed in 504 Jewish patients in the Tel Aviv area. The length of follow-up was 1 to 46 years, with a mean of 7.8 years. The data are compared with other published series of the disease in different geographical areas. Differences in the incidence of serveral complications are noted. The trend in recent years toward a lesser mortality associated with the disease is discussed.
