Vitamin B(12) deficiency occurred in most patients, but only those three who had signs of subacute combined degeneration of the cord and no osteomalacia responded well to treatment.

Hypoxaemia after Partial Gastrectomy.

After partial gastrectomy there is hypoxaemia which persists for many days. This occurs in patients without complications as well as in those who develop pulmonary collapse; and although pulmonary mechanical function is much impaired as a result of the operation in both, in neither is post-operative hypoxaemia due to inadequate alveolar ventilation since the arterial (alveolar) CO2 tension is n...

Iron deficiency after partial gastrectomy.

Iron-deficiency anaemia will develop in half the males and nearly all females after partial gastrectomy, and in addition to causing the anaemia the sideropenia may cause any general symptoms such as lassitude, failure to maintain weight, or dumping symptoms. The variable response to treatment is due to the fact that ferrous iron is not adequately released from coated tablets taken after meals a...
