15. Symptomatic myocardial bridging or cardiac Whipple's Diseas
This report concerns a patient with articular and cardiac manifestations of Whipple's disease. The disease was diagnosed only when gastrointestinal symptoms had appeared, because all cardiac symptoms were attributed exclusively to myocardial bridging. After 18 months of treatment with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, the patient is fully asymptomatic with a no

16. Anastomose duodenoduodenal na pancreatoduodenectomia por pancreatite crônica
Literature has been showing a tendency of reducing the limits of Whipple's resection. The main technical advance was the pylorus preserving resection, technique proposed by Traverso and Longmire in 1978. The pancreticoduodenectomy for chronic pancreatitis, is probably the best opportunity to apply this type of procedure. In these specific patients, the autho

19. Environmental Occurrence of the Whipple’s Disease Bacterium (Tropheryma whippelii)
Whipple’s disease is a systemic disorder in which a gram-positive rod-shaped bacterium is constantly present in infected tissues. After numerous unsuccessful attempts to culture this bacterium, it was eventually characterized by 16S rRNA gene analysis to be a member of the actinomycetes. The name Tropheryma whippelii was proposed. Until now, the bacterium

Disease manifestation seems to be linked to immunological abnormalities of macrophages. We describe a patient with cerebral Whipple disease who presented with changes in mental status, confu

22. Detection of Tropheryma whippelii DNA in a patient with AIDS.
A case of an AIDS patient infected with the Whipple's disease bacterium, Tropheryma whippelii, is reported. A DNA fragment with sequence specificity for the 16S rRNA gene of the bacterium was detected by PCR in a duodenal biopsy specimen from a 55-year-old male patient with AIDS and diarrhea. The biopsy specimen contained periodic acid-Schiff stain-positive

24. The advantages of pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy in malignant disease of the pancreas and periampullary region.
The aim of this study was to establish whether the pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy (PPPD) is a safe and radical procedure in malignant disease of the head of the pancreas and periampullary region, without increased morbidity and mortality rates compared with the standard Whipple's procedure. During the period 1984 to 1990, a Whipple's procedure (n =
