    Notes: Abstract Haemorrhoids are believed to be rare in elderly patients, occurring mainly in young and middle-aged subjects. Symptoms of haemorrhoids in elderly patients, in addition, require a precise differential diagnosis in order to rule out neoplasia. In this paper we report our experience in dealing with haemorrhoidal disease in 291 patients older than 65 years. Symptoms of presentation were those commonly reported by younger patients. Accurate clinical examination, proctoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy allowed reaching a differential diagnosis in the majority of patients. Extensive colorectal diagnostic screening was required in 28.5% of patients due to the clinical presentation. Treatment was conservative in most cases, with 57.2% of the patients treated medically and 36.7% undergoing rubber band ligation (RBL). In this group of patients no complications occurred although several risk factors were present (e.g. anticoagulant medications, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases). A further 13% of the patients underwent surgery with no complications or mortality. Haemorrhoids in elderly patients occur with features similar to those of other ages and ambulatory treatment can be performed. In particular, RBL can be performed safely even in those patients presenting with associated illness.

    Notes: Summary Seven male patients suffering from angina pectoris with spontaneous premature ventricular beats were given oral ibopamine 50 mg t.i.d. for 5 consecutive days, after at least 6 days of observation under basal conditions. A number of clinical parameters were explored during the basal and treatment periods, including repeated 24-hour Holter recordings in each case. The heart rate, expressed as mean hourly rate, minimum and maximum values per observation period, and nocturnal value, showed no clinically or statistically significant change with treatment. There was no worsening of pre-existing arrhythmias or chest pain. All other test parameters remained unchanged. This confirms the excellent tolerance of ibopamine in patients with ischaemic heart disease.

    Spinal intramedullary angiolipoma (1996)

    Notes: Abstract We report the case of a young patient with a thoracolumbar (T11-L3) intramedullary angiolipoma. Total removal of the tumor was possible and after operation the patient's neurological condition greatly improved. Only two previous cases of intramedullary angiolipomas have been reported, and in neither could the lesion be wholly removed. The histopathological and radiological features of these tumors are discussed and the extreme rareness of this case is emphasized.
