An open-label, randomized multicenter study comparing the efficacy and safety of Cyclo 3 Fort versus hydroxyethyl rutoside in chronic venous lymphatic insufficiency.

The present study was designed to compare the safety and efficacy of a combination of Ruscus aculeatus, hesperidin methyl chalcone, and ascorbic acid (Cyclo 3 Fort) versus that of hydroxyethyl rutoside in treatment of chronic venous lymphatic insufficiency. This open-label, randomized multicenter study was conducted on outpatients treated for 90 days. The patients were from three different regions of Argentina.

[Congenital Chagas disease in the city of Santa Fé. Diagnosis and treatment].

We studied 6123 pregnant women and their 341 newborn (NB), from Santa Fe city, by the following serological tests for chagasic infection: Direct Agglutination with and without 2-mercaptoethanol, Indirect Hemagglutination and Indirect Immunofluorescence test, and by identification of parasites by Fresh drops, Strout and/or by Xenodiagnosis. The prevalence of seropositivity found in pregnant women was of 14.62% with a 73% of migratory history.

Scintigraphic documentation of systemic-portal shunting.

Two unusual cases of iliac vein thrombosis are presented. They were studied with radionuclide venography of the left lower-extremity in which one of the collateral channels was the inferior mesenteric vein and showed the entire liver and lungs simultaneously. This vein does not appear to have been clearly identified with radioisotopic techniques previously.
