Spectrum of advanced upper airway obstruction due to goiters [Case Report]

Karbowitz SR; Edelman LB; Nath S; Dwek JH; Rammohan G
Five patients with advanced upper airway obstruction due to goiter were identified in our institution. All had symptoms of respiratory insufficiency to such a degree that surgery was clearly indicated. Functional characteristics of this group were compared with prior series of goiter patients who had less severe respiratory symptoms. A peak inspiratory flow less than 1.5 L/sec characterized this group who required surgery

The bronchodilator response to inhalation of increasing doses of aerosolized albuterol

Nelson HS; Spector SL; Whitsett TL; George RB; Dwek JH
Forty-four asthmatic patients were treated on separate days with increasing doses of albuterol in four double-blind studies that included placebo controls. Twenty-six subjects received one, two, four, six, and eight inhalations from a metered dose inhaler; 18 subjects received 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, and 15 mg delivered by IPPB. There was a significant linear relationship in both groups between the maximum increase in FEV1 and the log dose of albuterol. The response to four, six, and eight inhalations from the metered dose inhaler was significantly greater than the response to one inhalation, and the response to 15 mg by IPPB was significantly greater than the response to any other dose by IPPB. The results suggest that in many patients maximum possible bronchodilation is not achieved by customarily recommended doses

Hepatic angiography in a patient with tuberculosis of the liver [Case Report]

Dwek JH; Schechter LS; Grinberg ME
The hepatic angiographic features of a 45-year old black woman who was found to have abdominal tuberculosis are described. The clinical and arteriographic findings were similar to those found in malignant disease. A histological diagnosis is essential in such cases

Clinical effect of aerosol triamcinolone acetonide in bronchial asthma

Grieco, M H; Dwek, J; Larsen, K; Rammohan, G
In a double-blind, 12-week study of corticosteroid-dependent reversible bronchial asthma, 20 of 31 (64.5%) patients receiving triamcinolone acetonide aerosol, 800 microgram daily, were able to discontinue oral steroid therapy. This compares with three of 29 (10.3%) treated with aerosol placebo. At the end of the 12-week period, the mean 8 AM plasma cortisol level had increased from 5.3 +/- 4.1 to 8.6 +/- 5.2 microgram/dl in those receiving triamcinolone acetonide. The mean percent predicted values in the triamcinolone group for forced expiratory volume in the first second rose from 44.8 to 62.4 at two weeks (P less than .005), for forced vital capacity from 64.1 to 79.9 (P less than .005), and for maximum midexpiratory flow rate from 26.7 to 46.7 (P less than .005). The improved pulmonary function values persisted while the oral prednisone equivalent daily dose decreased from a mean of 13.3 to 2.9 mg at 12 weeks. Significant oral candidiasis was detected in two patients. Aerosol triamcinolone acetonide appears to be an effective alternative to beclomethasone dipropionate for use in patients with bronchial asthma.

Salt-wasting bronchorrhea and its mechanisms [Case Report]

Dwek JH; Charytan C; Stachura I; Kaganowicz A
A 56-year old woman, with the diffuse form of bronchioloalveolar cell carcinoma, developed massive bronchorrhea, resulting in severe fluid and electrolyte depletion when her oral intake was compromised. Chemical analysis of the bronchial secretions and the ultrastructural features of the tumor cells support the concept of an active secretory process. The lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzyme pattern of the fluid is similar to that found in fetal cells. The neoplastic cells may acquire a more primitive LDH pattern
