Diarrhea is a common problem that is usually self-limiting and of short duration. Increased accumulations of small intestinal and colonic contents are known to be responsible for producing diarrhea. The former may be caused by increased intestinal secretion which may be enterotoxin-induced, eg, cholera and E. col] or hormone and dmg-induced, eg, caffeine, prostaglandins, and laxatives decreased intestinal absorption because of decreased mucosal surface area, mucosal disease, eg, tropical spme, or osmotic deficiency, eg, disaccharidase or lactase deficiency and rapid transit of contents. An increased accumulation of colonic content may be linked to increased colonic secretion owing to hydroxy fatty acid or bile acids, and exudation, eg, inflammatory bowel disease or amebiasis decreased colonic absorption caused by decreased surface area, mucosal disease, and osmotic factors and rapid transit, eg, irritable bowel syndrome. [Pg.202]

Secondary immunodeficiencies (9) are much more common than primary ones and frequently occur as a result of immaturity of the immune system in premature infants, immunosuppressive therapy, or surgery and trauma. Illnesses, particularly when prolonged and serious, have been associated with secondary immunodeficiencies, some of which may be reversible. Acquked immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) (10—12) may be considered a secondary immunodeficiency disease caused by the human immunodeficiency vimses HIV-1 or HIV-2. Hitherto unknown, the disease began to spread in the United States during the latter part of the 1970s. The agent responsible for this infection has been isolated and identified as a retrovims. [Pg.32]

Alkan olamines are used in the manufacture of a variety of pharmaceutical compounds. Some of these products include antitumor agents, anti-inflammatory and allergy agents, and anticonvulsants. The Hterature reports ethan olamine derivatives in the treatment of Alzheimer s disease (216), the treatment of cerebral psychoorganic syndromes (217), and veterinary dmgs (218). [Pg.11]

Impla.nta.ble Ports. The safest method of accessing the vascular system is by means of a vascular access device (VAD) or port. Older VAD designs protmded through the skin. The totally implanted ports are designed for convenience, near absence of infection, and ease of implantation. Ports allow dmgs and fluids to be deUvered directiy into the bloodstream without repeated insertion of needles into a vein. The primary recipients of totally implanted ports are patients receiving chemotherapy, bolus infusions of vesicants, parenteral nutrition, antibiotics, analgesics, and acquired immune disease syndrome (AIDS) medications. [Pg.184]

Selenium deficiency has been identified iu humans iu a broad area of China, stretching from the northeast to the southwest. Two syndromes are evident Keshan disease, an endemic cardiomyopathy which affects children, and Kashin-Beck disease, an edemic osteoarthropathy (big-joiat), also mainly involving children, which occurs iu eastern Siberia and parts of China. As a result of these observations, a protective effect for selenium has been proposed, and various selenium-containing preparations have been appHed to preserve animal and human health. [Pg.337]
