In a population-based case-control study of pancreatic cancer in Greater Montreal between 1984 and 1988, a total of 24 patients with cancer of the bile ducts and 33 patients suffering from cancer of the gallbladder were compared to 239 population-based controls. This study was part of the SEARCH program of the International Agency for Research on Cancer. In cases of cancer of the bile ducts, smoking nonfiltered cigarettes produced a relative risk of 2.82 and a 95% confidence interval of 1.01-7.86 after adjustment for age, sex, other smoking habits, alcohol consumption, schooling, and respondent status. Laxative intake was associated with a risk of 2.87 (1.00-8.22). Coffee drinkers were collectively at lower risk than non-drinkers: OR = 0.26 (0.07-0.95). In patients with cancer of the gallbladder, constipation was related to a risk of 3.19 (1.02-9.95) after adjustment for the same factors. In cases with previous gallbladder problems, the risk was found to be significant [OR = 7.96 (2.03-31.2)], 8 times greater in cases than in controls.

One hundred forty-four children with a clinical diagnosis of overactive bladder were observed for a mean of 3.15 +/- 1.92 years. Initial management consisted of a behavioral modification program that included increased fluid intake, a timed voiding schedule and, if applicable, treatment of constipation. Those who failed to improve with the preceding intervention within 10 days to 2 weeks received an anticholinergic medication. Follow-up information was obtained by telephone. Caretakers and/or patients were asked a standard set of questions. The outcome with respect to urinary urgency, urinary frequency, daytime incontinence, posturing and urinary tract infections was recorded. After an average follow-up period of 3 years, 68 (47.2%) of the 144 children recovered from all symptoms of overactive bladder and 61 (42.4%) had decreased symptoms. Fifteen of the children, or 10.4%, still had all of the symptoms originally associated with overactive bladder. Children who had posturing as one of their symptoms had a significantly increased risk of urinary tract infection.

GOAL: Goal of this study was the assessment of the frequency of constipation in patients of palliative care medicine and the efficacy of the use of laxatives. METHODS: In a retrospective study the computerized data of 206 patients were analysed by descriptive statistics. RESULTS: Constipation occurred in 42.7% of patients. Constipation appeared in 34% of 159 patients, who were treated with morphine. There was no correlation to gastrointestinal tumors. Laxatives were given to 74.3% of patients. Laxative use was uncomplicated in 78.4%. For therapy of constipation combined administration of polyethylene glycol, sodium picosulphate and paraffin was most effective. CONCLUSION: In palliative care patients the use of polyethylene glycol is recommended for treating morphine-related-constipation.
