    Description / Table of Contents: Summary A deteriorating nutritional condition combined with the loss of body mass is one of the most noticeable symptoms of cancer. In order to answer the question to what extent absorption disorders in the small intestine are responsible for the malnutrition which develops, we studied 54 oncologic patients using modified D-xylose absorption tests. After the oral and intravenous administration of 10 g D-xylose at different times, the degree of absorption dependent on time was determined on the basis of a biophysical model. When accompanied by general nonspecific tumor symptoms, the frequency of absorption restrictions was increased. An established relation was found between the extent of small intestinal absorption, on the one hand, and the degree of spreading (staging) and the degree of histological differentiation of the carcinoma, on the other hand. Enteral absorption disorders represent a partial cause for the development of malnutrition in cancer patients and must be viewed as a result of a metabolic situation which is distinctly catabolic.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Verschlechterung des Ernährungszustandes und die Abnahme an Körpermasse ist eines der auffälligsten Symptome des Krebsleidens. Zur Beantwortung der Frage, inwieweit Störungen der Dünndarmresorption für die sich entwickelnde Malnutrition verantwortlich zu machen sind, untersuchten wir 54 onkologische Patienten mit Hilfe des modifizierten D-Xylose-Resorptionstests. Nach zeitlich getrennter oraler und intravenöser Applikation von 10 g D-Xylose wurde auf der Grundlage einer biophysikalischen Modellierung das Ausmaß der Resorption in Abhängigkeit von der Zeit ermittelt. Mit dem Auftreten allgemeiner unspezifischer Tumorsymptome erhöht sich die Häufigkeit von Resorptionseinschränkungen. Es konnte eine gesicherte Beziehung zwischen Ausbreitungsgrad (Staging), histologischem Differenzierungsgrad des Karzinoms einerseits und dem Ausmaß der Dünndarmresorption andererseits nachgewiesen werden. Enterale Resorptionsstörungen stellen eine Teilursache bei der Entwicklung einer Mangelernährung bei Krebskranken dar und sind selbst als Folge der katabol akzentuierten Stoffwechsellage anzusehen.

    Notes: Abstract We used geologic and geochemical techniques to document the change with time of the distribution and concentration of contaminated bottom sediments in southern Lake Champlain near an International Paper Company plant. Our work, initiated in 1972, was expanded on behalf of Vermont citizens in a class-action suit against the International Paper Company. To update our 1972–1973 results, we collected nine cores in 1988 upstream and downstream from the paper plant effluent diffuser. Water content, volatile solids, organic carbon, and three ratios, Al/Si, Cl/Si, and S/Si, in addition to megascopic and microscopic observations, were evaluated to identify and trace the distribution of effluent and to measure the thickness of sediment affected by or containing components of effluent. Analyses were carried out on samples from the cores as well as from effluent collected directly from the plant's waste treatment facility. In 1973, two years after the plant opened, we cored near the diffuser; sediment contaminated with effluent was 4.5 cm thick. In 1988, in the same area, sediment contaminated with effluent was 17 cm thick. In 15 years, water content increased from 72 to 85 percent, volatile solids from 7 to 20 percent, and organic carbon from 2 to 12 percent. Cl/Si and S/Si were high only near the diffuser and were zero elsewhere. In the area of the diffuser, contaminated sediment appears to be accumulating at a rate of about 1 cm/yr. At a control location 22 km upstream (south) from the plant, the top, poorly consoli-dated layer was only 1 cm or less thick both in 1973 and in 1988. The class-action suit was settled in favor of the plaintiffs for $5 million.
