{"title":"Enteric coated levo-dopa in clinical practice.","authors":"E P Hicks, M W O'Halloran","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"The results of a clinical trial of enteric coated Levo-dopa are described for nineteen patients with Parkinsonism. Twelve cases comprise the nuclear group and all were intolerant to therapeutic doses of standard Levo-dopa. Seven cases were receiving Levo-dopa for the first time. Treatment periods ranged from three to twelve months. Of the whole group, 84% have improved. Of the poor responders to standard Levo-dopa 58% have improved markedly and the remaining 42% have improved to a moderate degree using clinical criteria. The mean stabilization dose was 1.5 grams daily and using the Mann-Whitney U test the difference is highly significant when comparison is made with the stabilization dose of 3.0 grams for standard Levo-dopa (P less than .001). The method of stabilization is described; the commonest initial stabilization period is three weeks. Side-effects are dose-related. No side-effects have appeared in 60% of the patients and only mild or transient side-effects have appeared in 20%. A characteristic toxic reaction is described. This enteric-coated preparation of the drug appears to control the \"on-off\" phenomenon in at least 50% of cases with this problem. The preparation is suitable for routine use in outpatients but added care is required to ensure that vitamin tonics are rigorously avoided. Two deaths are recorded during the trial, but analysis shows them to be unrelated causally to the therapy. Enteric coated Levo-dopa is recommended as the primary treatment in all new cases where Levo-dopa therapy is indicated. No adverse interactions have occurred with other commonly used anti-Parkinsonian drugs.","PeriodicalId":76351,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Australian Association of Neurologists","volume":"12 ","pages":"85-91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1975-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12391664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The surgical management of extracranial cerebrovascular occlusive disease: a review of 200 consecutive surgical cases.","authors":"D A Horton, R D Fine, R G Hicks","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"The role of surgery in the treatment of extracranial cerebrovascular disease is essentially a prophylactic one but it should be borne in mind that apart from preventing stroke, such procedures will or should eliminate symptoms. The authors believe that every patient suffering from cerebrovascular insufficiency should be thoroughly evaluated for extracranial cerebrovascular occlusive disease and that arteriograms should be performed on all patients who could be expected to be candidates for surgery. The various indications for surgery have been discussed. The authors believe that people who have severe bilateral disease and who are of an advanced age are probably in a higher risk group. They also believe that surgery should not be offered to people who have a complete stroke and who are in semi-coma or coma, no matter how rapidly they may be transferred to the operating theatre. The authors firmly believe that intra-operative E.E.G. monitoring is an important adjunct to the safe surgical treatment of lesions of the carotid bifurcation, not only to indicate when shunting is necessary but also to indicate how well that shunt is functioning. In spite of the frequent presence of associated heart disease, hypertension and other vascular lesions, operation can be offered with confidence to suitable candidates. Elimination of symptoms can be expected in over 90% of cases. Only one patient has suffered a stroke since leaving hospital and this occurred because of occlusion in his internal carotid artery which was not operated on. Apart from patient selection, the factors which have contributed to the authors' low morbidity and mortality have been the use of intra-operative E.E.G. monitoring, intra-operative heparinisation and the availability of excellent angiographic studies.","PeriodicalId":76351,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Australian Association of Neurologists","volume":"12 ","pages":"101-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1975-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"11964449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
