Portal hypertensive enteropathy & capsule endoscopy.
Manuscript received and accepted: January 8, 2009 and February 14, 2009 A 73-year-old male, with known cirrhosis of non-alcoholic a etiology was referred for capsule endoscopy due to recurrent and transfusion dependent anaemia. His oesophagogastroscopy revealed no evidence of varices but florid portal hypertensive gastropathy. His capsule was performed after 12 h of fast and 1 litre of polyethy...
متن کاملCows' milk sensitive enteropathy in cystic fibrosis.
Proximal small intestinal mucosal biopsies were carried out in children with cystic fibrosis who had diarrhoea and failed to thrive in spite of adequate treatment, including pancreatic supplements. Histological examination of eight of the 17 biopsies taken over a period of 12 years showed evidence of enteropathy, and accounted for one in 13 (8%) children with cystic fibrosis under 3 years of ag...
متن کاملEvidence for a Cystic Fibrosis Enteropathy
BACKGROUND Previous studies have suggested the existence of enteropathy in cystic fibrosis (CF), which may contribute to intestinal function impairment, a poor nutritional status and decline in lung function. This study evaluated enterocyte damage and intestinal inflammation in CF and studied its associations with nutritional status, CF-related morbidities such as impaired lung function and dia...
متن کاملExercise and Cystic Fibrosis (CF) 2.0.
In 1989 we knew that exercise, including regular prescribed physical activity, could be safely performed and described some of the physiological responses to exercise in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Also in 1989, the genetic defect causing cystic fibrosis (CF) was identified leading to improvements in treatment that greatly extended the life span for these patients. Increased understandi...
متن کاملTransepithelial nasal potential difference (NPD) measurements in cystic fibrosis (CF).
The main underlying physiologic abnormality in cystic fibrosis (CF) is dysfunction of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), which results in abnormal transport of sodium and chloride across epithelial surfaces. CFTR function could be tested in vivo using measurements of nasal transepithelial potential difference (PD). Nasal measurements show characteristic features of CF epithelia,...
