13. IndomethacinInduced Gastroduodenal Damage Is Not Affected by Cotreatment with Ranitidine

Author

Stalnikowicz, R., Goldin, E., Fich, A., Wengrower, D., Eliakim, R., Ligumsky, M., and Rachmilewitz, D.

Abstract

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted to determine whether concomitant administration of ranitidine reduces gastroduodenal mucosal damage associated with 1 week of indomethacin treatment. One hundred ten subjects with acute muculoskeletal conditions and who received indomethacin 150 mg/ day completed the trial: 55 were treated with ranitidine 150 mg b.i.d. and 51 subjects received placebo b.i.d. Endoscopic gastric and duodenal injury were assessed before and after one week of treatment. There was no statistically significant difference in the percentage of patients with gastroduodenal damage or in the severity of the lesions in both treatment groups. Ranitidine did not ameliorate indomethacin-induced gastrointestinal symptoms and there was no correlation between upper gastrointestinal symptoms and endoscopic findings.

14. UGI Bleeding in a Nonalcoholic Population with Portal Hypertension

Author

Naparstek, Y. and Rachmilewitz, D.

Abstract

We examined 27 patients with portal hypertension admitted because of acute UGI bleeding endoscopically within 24 hours. We identified esophageal-gastric varices as the bleeding source in 22 patients, and found no acute mucosal lesions in any of them. In only four patients was chronic liver disease due to alcohol consumption. We therefore suggest that acute mucosal lesions as a cause of UGI bleeding in patients with portal hypertension are common only in those with alcoholic cirrhosis.

Abstract

The abdominal wall is a common and often overlooked source of pain. Three obese patients with pain that proved to come from an abdominal wall hernia are described. The hernias were not found on physical examination, and extensive workup of the digestive tract did not disclose the diagnosis. Computed tomography directed at the abdominal wall demonstrated the hernias. We review the literature on the use of computed tomography in the diagnosis of abdominal wall lesions.
