In a field study comprising 678 patients with arterial hypertension efficacy and tolerance of the stable combination VKB 105 consisting of 10 mg Pindolol (Visken) and 5 mg Clopamid (Brinaldix) were investigated. Treatment with 1--2 tablets of VKB per day resulted in a successful therapy in 94% of all patients corresponding on the average to a reduction in blood pressure to 145/85 mm Hg within 14 days. In mean arterial pressures ranging between 120 and 170 mm Hg a positive linear relationship between the individual initial value and the hypotensive effect of the combination could be observed. A controlled omission trial disclosed qualitatively the respective contribution to the effect of the two components Pindolol and Clopamid. With a systematic case control of the serum potassium under the combined therapy with VKB 105 and during a monotherapy with Clopamid and antihypokalaemic effect of Pindolol could be demonstrated diminishing the tendency for potassium loss. The result revealed a far-reaching potassium neutrality of diuresis-depending stimulation of renin by the beta-receptor blocker. In 61 patients altogether subjective side-effects could be recorded, such as vertigo (5%), palpitations (2.8%), fatigue (2%), insomina (1.9%), nausea (1.7%) and vomiting (0.8%). Laboratory controls gave no indication for clinically relevant changes.

Classic renal tubular acidosis is characterized by a primary defect in establishment of a large hydrogen ion gradient across the distal renal tubule. Thus the development of hyperchlorenic metabolic acidosis follows. In addition, hypokalemia results from renal potassium wasting secondary hyperaldosteronism from sodium wasting and contraction of the extracellular fluid. The presenting signs and symptoms are growth retardation, fatigue, periodic paralysis, polyuria, polydipsia, vomiting and constipation as well as nephrocalcinosis and nephrolithiasis. It is suggested that effective treatment with alkali therapy requires markedly higher doses than formerly recommended, and may related to a higher rate of endogenous acid production from (1) intermediary metabolism of sulfur amino acids and organic acids, (2) impaired tubular reabsorption of bicarbonate and (3) hydrogen ion release from hydroxyapatite formation. It is also suggested that acidosis may interfere with vitamin D metabolism and thus play an important role in the pathoetiology of the growth failure in children with this disorder.

A 3-yr-old boy was investigated for numerous episodes of fatigue, irritability, pallor, and sweating, which began at 11 mo of age, when he had an episode of symptomatic hypoglycemia with ketonuria. He had euphoria, mental confusion, drowsiness, nausea, and vomiting 1-5 hr after oral administration of glycerol in doses of 0.5-1.0gm/kg. Orally administered MCT (1 gm/kg) had similar effects. On one occasion, oral glycerol also provoked hypoglycemia, as had a 16 1/2 hr fast. Intravenously administered glycerol (0.09 gm/kg) induced an immediate loss of consciousness from which he recovered spontaneously after 30 min; there were no changes in blood glucose values. Intravenously administered fructose (0.25 gm/kg) was tolerated normally. Leukocytes showed normal activities for FDPase, glycerol kinase, and glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase. The restriction of dietary intake of fat has been associated with a marked improvement in physical and mental activities. These observations suggest a unique, yet undifined intolerance to glycerol, which suggest caution in the diagnostic use of glycerol in the investigation of hypoglycemia as well as in the therapy of increased intracranial or intraocular pressure.

Authors report a case of intraventricular hemorrhage with hepatic insufficiency. A 36-year-old man was admitted following the sudden onset of coma. For 10 years before admission he had suffered general fatigue and jaundice, which were treated with medication as acute hepatitis. On the day of admission he began to suffer from a severe headache. Within one hour he was comatose and began to have vomiting, followed by seizures characterized by tonic movement of the right extremities. Lumbar puncture showed an initial pressure over 400 mmH2O, with grossly bloody spinal fluid. Numerous hemorrhages were noted in both optic fundi. Bilateral carotid angiography demonstrated slight enlargement of left lateral ventricle. Computerized tomography revealed that the lareral, third and fourth ventricles were dilated. There were discrete areas of increased absorption coefficient with values measuring between 30 to 35 in the Hounsfield scale in all ventricles. Two burr holes in both frontal areas were performed. About 50ml of blood clot at left ventricle and 30 ml of blood clot with liquor at right ventricle were removed. The patient died 7 days after operation. Autopsy revealed clotted blood in the whole ventricular system, mainly in right anterior horn of lateral ventricle, and a markedly cirrhotic liver with hepatoma. In our review of the literature, the relationship between intraventricular hemorrhage and bleeding tendency caused by hepatic insufficiency was discussed.

Varying reactions of the vegetative nerve system to various point combinations (for example: vomiting, dizziness, diarrhea, urge to urinate, fatigue or drowsiness, headache), especially to the needling of Tai Chong (Li 3), induced us to perform biochemical studies before and after acupuncture treatment. A group of children and a group of adults were studied. The material studied was urine and blood; from the children, urine only. The following were determined in the urine: indolacetic acid, 5-hydroxy-indol-3-acetic acid, homovanillic acid, and vanillic-mandelic acid; in the blood, tyrosine and tryptophan (free and bound). Individual points with wide influence (He Gu = LI 4; Zu San Li = St 36; Tai Chong = Li 3) and their combination with generally effective points were tested. The needling of Tai Chong especially showed a clear increase in indolamine metabolism. Isolated increases in metabolites of catecholamine metabolism could be correlated with the patient's increased physical activity after acupuncture. Noteworthy is the observation that no significant chemical reactions were evident if local reactions to the needling no longer appeared at the end of a series of acupuncture treatments.

Abnormalities of oesophago-gastro-intestinal motoricity play an important etiologic role in various affections of stomach, intestine, oesophagus and associated complaints. The new monosubstance bromopride produces a selective action restoring the basal motility of stomach, pylorus, duodenum and of the lower oesophageal sphincter to normal. The effect and tolerance of Viaben (bromopride) were examined in an open field study on 4182 subjects. The drug was given in average doses of one capsule three times a day. The results were assessed as very good in 37.9% of cases, and as good in 47.9%. No change was seen in 12.2%, while only 2.0% were aggravated. 64.7% of all patients benefited within the first fortnight. Nausea, vomiting and intolerance to drugs even disappeared in the first days of treatment. Individuals exhibiting a nervous, irritative stomach also had a rapid response to the drug. Pain, which is a fairly common complaint, passed off quickly. Side effects were seen in 6.8% of cases. However, the question whether they were due to the treatment, is not easily answered in an open study. The most common side effect was tiredness (3.7%), which was reported to be mild in some cases. The dyskinesia observed in subjects treated with other ortho-substituted benzamides was only seen in 0.4% of all patients.

Three sea going vessels steamed side by side through slight seas off the coast of Oahu, Hi. A 4-h octagon was transmitted twice each day for three consecutive days while motion sickness symptomatology was recorded from 18 enlisted men who alternated among the vessels. Dramatic differences in illness severity were obtained whether comparisons were made using objective evidence of vomiting episodes or subjective reporting of symptoms on questionnaires. Reliability of this scoring method was excellent (r = .95). In addition to face and construct validity, evidence is presented of the predictive validity of the scoring method in a separate octagonal steaming experiment using a 95 ft Coast Guard patrol boat in an equivalent experimental paradigm. This study showed significant covariance between the magnitude of motion sickness symptomatology and the encounter direction of the vessel to the primary swell (p less than 0.01). Additionally, significant correlations were found between sickness severity and test subject concentration, fatigue, urine production, and urine specific gravity. The majority of these relationships would not have been disclosed had only the dichotomous criterion of vomit/nonvomit been employed in assessing motionsickness severity. Implications of these data as design criteria for marine vehicles are discussed.

Ketoprofen and indomethacin were compared as specific therapies for primary dysmenorrhea in this study involving 23 primary dysmenorrheic women; the study was double-blind and cross-over. Each patient was given a code-numbered package of capsules of ketoprofen (50 mg) or indomethacin (25 mg); medication (1 capsule 3 times daily) was started 1 day before menstruation and was continued until cessation of dysmenorrheic symptoms (no longer than 4 days). Patient estimation of the effect of ketoprofen was ranked as good in 70% of cases, moderate in 18%, and nil in 12%. For indomethacin, the figures were 58, 31, and 10%, respectively. Initial dysmenorrhea score of 9.6 was reduced to 3.6 during ketoprofen therapy and to 4 with indomethacin (P.001). Ketoprofen alleviated pelvic pain in 84% of cases; indomethacin in 78%. Mean duration of pelvic pain was reduced to 5.1 hours from an initial period of 10.6 hours with ketoprofen and 5 hours with indomethacin (P.01); this statistic excluded cycles of total relief. Other symptoms relieved were similar with both drugs, including: lower back pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and dizziness (alleviated in 82-97%) and headache, fatigue, and nervousness (alleviated in 40-67%). Blood loss was subjectively estimated to decrease in 42% and increase in 4% of ketoprofen-treated patients, whereas for indomethacin these figures were 36% and 7%, respectively. All side effects were mild. The rate of lost working days was significantly decreased under both treatments.

In an open controlled multicenter study the effectiveness of various dose levels of (+)-Cyanidanol-3 (Catergen) in patients suffering from chronic liver disease and treated over a period of 6 months is assessed. Subjective symptoms as fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, vomiting and pruritus are positively influenced at all dose levels. A statistically significant fall of the transaminases SGOT, SGPT and gamma--GT however occurs only at a dosage of 6 tablets per day (3000 mg per day) of (+)-Cyanidanol-3, which cannot be demonstrated at a dose level of 3 X 1 tablet per day. Between the dosage of 2 X 3 or 3 X 2 tablets per day is no significant difference. Side effects due to therapy could not be observed.

Fifteen epileptic patients with mild seizures of the narcolepsy type were treated with a combination of succinimide (average dose 750 mg) and dipropylacetate (average dose 1,200 mg), medication with each drug alone having brought no success. The combination of drugs stopped the seizures in eleven patients, in three they almost stopped and in one the frequency of seizures was halved. An E.E.G. was recorded in twelve, with improvement in each. Side effects occurred in five patients (nausea, vomiting, singultus and fatigue), but the drug had to be discontinued in only one instance.
