17-Ketosteroid and 17-hydroxycorticosteroid excretion in patients with duodenal ulceration

17-ketosteroid and 17-hydroxycorticosteroid excretion in patients with duodenal ulceration.

The 24-hour excretion of 17-ketosteroids and 17-hydroxycorticosteroids has been estimated in a series of male duodenal ulcer subjects and compared with that of 56 normal male controls. It has been found that both 17-ketosteroid and 17-hydroxycorticosteroid excretion is less in ulcer subjects than in the control group; these differences are not large but in the case of 17-hydroxycorticosteroids ...

Effect of Cortisone on 17-Ketosteroid Excretion *

In 1952 cortisone therapy was initiated in two patients with far advanced prostatic carcinoma.2 As part of the study of those patients, determinations were made of urinary 17-ketosteroid excretion before and during therapy with cortisone. Rather large increases in excretion of 17-ketosteroids were noted during the administration of high doses of cortisone in both patients. This unexpected findi...

Aldosterone and 17-hydroxycorticosteroid Excretion Following Ramstedt's Operation.

The management of infants with pyloric stenosis has local variations. In this department a regime of simplicity has been adopted in which the patient is disturbed as little as possible. The diagnosis is made on palpation of a pyloric 'tumour' during a test feed, and only rarely is diagnostic assistance sought from a barium meal. A gastric lavage is done not less than four hours before operation...

Gold therapy and neutral 17-ketosteroid excretion in rheumatoid arthritis.

Although the striking benefits of the administration of cortisone and ACTH in rheumatoid arthritis have been widely publicized, the exhibition of gold salts still retains an important place in the therapy of some types of case. The manner in which gold salts act is not known, but has been ascribed to stimulation of the reticulo-endothelial system, some alteration in the immunological or enzymat...
