BACKGROUND: Propionic acidemia is an inherited disorder caused by deficiency of propionyl-CoA carboxylase. Although it is one of the most frequent organic acidurias, information on the outcome of affected individuals is still limited. STUDY DESIGN/METHODS: Clinical and outcome data of 55 patients with propionic acidemia from 16 European metabolic centers were evaluated retrospectively. 35 patients were diagnosed by selective metabolic screening while 20 patients were identified by newborn screening. Endocrine parameters and bone age were evaluated. In addition, IQ testing was performed and the patients' and their families' quality of life was assessed. RESULTS: The vast majority of patients (>85%) presented with metabolic decompensation in the neonatal period. Asymptomatic individuals were the exception. About three quarters of the study population was mentally retarded, median IQ was 55. Apart from neurologic symptoms, complications comprised hematologic abnormalities, cardiac diseases, feeding problems and impaired growth. Most patients considered their quality of life high. However, according to the parents' point of view psychic problems were four times more common in propionic acidemia patients than in healthy controls. CONCLUSION: Our data show that the outcome of propionic acidemia is still unfavourable, in spite of improved clinical management. Many patients develop long-term complications affecting different organ systems. Impairment of neurocognitive development is of special concern. Nevertheless, self-assessment of quality of life of the patients and their parents yielded rather positive results.

OBJETIVO: Identificar alterações pulmonares em pacientes com neoplasia esofágica. Comparar os dados obtidos, além de mostrar sua relação com o tabagismo. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal tipo série de casos. Foram analisados prontuários e exames de imagem (tomografias computadorizadas e radiografias) de 55 pacientes com câncer de esôfago, diagnosticados entre 1998 e 2001, no Hospital de Base de São José do Rio Preto. Comparou-se a freqüência dos tumores encontrados e outras alterações pulmonares em dois grupos de pacientes: tabagistas e não tabagistas. RESULTADOS: Quarenta e seis (83%) pacientes apresentaram carcinomas espinocelulares, sete (13%) adenocarcinomas, um (2%) carcinoma de pequenas células e um (2%) linfoma não-Hodgkin. Quarenta e oito (87%) pacientes eram tabagistas e sete (13%) eram não tabagistas. Entre os tabagistas, 89% possuíam carcinoma espinocelular, 9% adenocarcinoma e 2% carcinoma de pequenas células. Entre os não tabagistas, 57% apresentaram adenocarcinoma, 28% carcinoma espinocelular e 15% linfoma não-Hodgkin. Houve metástases em quatro tabagistas e em dois não tabagistas. A prevalência das alterações pulmonares (infiltrado intersticial, enfisema e pneumonia) foi maior nos tabagistas (73%) do que nos não tabagistas (27%) (p = 0,03). CONCLUSÃO: Este fato reforça a importância da avaliação pulmonar nos pacientes com neoplasia esofágica.

Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää, vastaavatko suomalaisten 55-64 vuotiaiden odotukset eläkkeensä tasosta ja eläkesäästöjensä riittävyydestä todellisuutta. Tutkimuksen empiirinen osa on kerätty haastattelemalla 55-64 vuotiaita suomalaisia eri puolelta Suomea. Aineiston on kerännyt TNSGallup puhelinhaastatteluina. Tutkimuksen perusteella voidaan todeta, että eläkeajalle varatut säästöt eivät riitä halutulla kulutustasolla koko eläkeajaksi. Elinajanodotus kasvaa koko ajan, jolloin eläkeaika on myös pidempi ja säästöjen tulisi vastata pidentynyttä elinaikaa. Eläkeaikaan varautuminen tulisi aloittaa aikaisemmin työuran aikana.
