ROENTGENOLOGIC-PATHOLOGIC CORRELATION IN MALABSORPTION SYNDROMES

Absorption of Copper in Malabsorption Syndromes.

The malabsorption syndromes. Some clinical problems.

I HAVE BEEN interested in the malabsorption syndromes for a long time and one of the fascinations of a continued interest over the years is to watch the emphasis change as new knowledge is added and old problems are solved. When I reviewed the subject in 1960 the classical idea that all the signs and symptoms of the malabsorption syndromes were due to failure of absorption of essential substanc...

Macular and serum carotenoid concentrations in patients with malabsorption syndromes

The carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin are believed to protect the human macula by absorbing blue light and quenching free radicals. Intestinal malabsorption syndromes such as celiac and Crohn's disease are known to cause deficiencies of lipid-soluble nutrients. We hypothesized that subjects with nutrient malabsorption syndromes will demonstrate lower carotenoid levels in the macula and blood, a...

Radiologic-Pathologic Correlation Intracranial Chondroma

A 42-year-old woman had a change in the character of her migraine headaches. Her usual pattern consisted of throbbing frontoparietal headaches that occurred at biweekly intervals for many years. The new headaches had begun several months before and she described them as “ice pick” headaches occurring three to four times per day in the right frontoparietal region. She also experienced the new on...
