RESUMEN
The authors studied 200 consecutive outpatients with symptoms due to venous disease of the lower limbs. All the patients underwent anamnestic, clinical and instrumental evaluation (c.w. Doppler velocimetry and strain-gauge plethysmography). The results of this study showed that some anamnestic and clinical data are significantly related to venous disease detected by instrumental techniques. The superficial and deep vein hypertension were, instead, correlated to oral contraceptive use.

In order to assess the antiemetic properties of alizapride in the specific context of premedication for endoscopy, a double blind test was conducted on 100 patients against both metoclopramide and a placebo. Efficacy was assessed on the basis of the following parameters: technical judgement of the endoscopist; assessment of evident signs of "discomfort" by an outside observer; comparative judgement (better, worse, same) of the patient's condition after the two endoscopies performed. In the case of the first two parameters, alizapride proved significantly more effective than the control substances. The patients themselves only expressed a significant preference for alizapride vis-à-vis the placebo. It is concluded that given its efficacy and the absence of side effects, alizapride is of value in premedication for endoscopy.
