A case of congenital afibrinogenaemia in a young female child is described. She had haemorrhagic tendency since birth in the form of markedly prolonged umbilical bleeding and easy bruising afterwards. ⋯ The family study indicates the mode of inheritance to be probably autosomal recessive. The principal laboratory findings are complete non-coagulability of blood, grossly abnormal coagulation tests, zero ESR value, failure to detect fibrinogen by heat coagulation or chemical precipitation tests and biuret reaction and correction of thrombin time after fibrinogen infusion.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialSucralfate in the short-term treatment of duodenal ulcer. A double-blind comparison with cimetidine and placebo.
A phase III randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled study was conducted to compare the efficacy and adverse effects of sucralfate and cimetidine in the short-term management of active duodenal ulcer. Standard therapeutic doses were used. Antacids were permitted on an ad lib basis. ⋯ Both SUC and CIM were superior to placebo (p less than .001). Day-time pain relief was significantly better with both SUC and CIM as compared to placebo (p less than 0.1). There was no significant difference in night-pain relief between the 3 groups.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
