ABSTRACT

Our study was directed not only towards the diagnosis of small bowel Crohn's disease, but especially to a quantitative analysis, for a correct therapeutical approach. This experimental trial is based on the relationship between radiological evidence, measured during small bowel enema, and the seriousness of the morphological and functional damage to the intestinal mucosal membrane, evaluated with a post-heparin diamine-oxidase activity test. With this method we studied 35 selected patients; 16 of them were affected by the disease with an exclusive localization in the small bowel and 5 have been considered separately, because 3 patients had already been operated and the other 2 showed different localizations. In our results, the two parameters were not constantly related to each other. In other words the enema's morphological data sometimes do not accord with the mucosal membrane integrity index expressed by the enzyme. Anyway the importance of this study is the attempt of making an objective comparison between an anatomic situation and its functional consequence. These aspects have a great significance in Crohn's disease.

ABSTRACT

Segmental ischemic disease consists of segmental infarctions and ischemic stenoses. Vasculitis (LES, polyarteritis nodosa, Schönlein-Henoch syndrome), thrombosis, arteriosclerotic changes, mechanical obstructions (adhesions, hernia, volvulus, traumas), hemorrhagic disorders are the most common causes of these intestinal lesions. The authors report their experience achieved during three years on 428 small bowel examinations; among these, 197 were double contrast enemas. Ten patients showed roentgenographic features referred to vascular diseases: 1 LES, 1 Schönlein-Henoch syndrome, 3 polyarteritis nodosa, 5 spontaneous hemorrhagic disorders or due to treatment with anticoagulants. The authors, after a review of the radiological findings, emphasize the high sensitivity and low specificity of double contrast small bowel enema. Furthermore they underline the usefulness of this method in demonstrating and monitoring intestinal pathologic changes.

ABSTRACT

A survey of health and social service professionals in one Ontario community suggested a generally high level of awareness of alcohol problems, reasonable optimism regarding the benefits of treatment, and positive attitudes toward an innovative assessment/referral service.
