The celiac disease is traditionally viewed as the children's disease with a typical form accompanied mainly by intestinal symptoms and malabsorption. This opinion is still generally accepted by the medical community. Findings based on the area-wide screening show that the prevalence has risen from the original 1 : 1 000-1 500 to 1 : 70-550. The average prevalence in the western countries is nearly 1 : 100. The prevalence of the celiac disease in the Czech republic is estimated to be approximately 1 : 200-250. It means that the number of people in the Czech republic who are likely to be affected is about 40,000-50,000 people. Currently only 10-15% of the total number of the ill people are diagnosed and monitored. Adult patients represent the main diagnostic problem because their clinical pictures are individual and the main symptoms are atypical (nonenteral). These are anaemia (mainly sideropnic), early/premature osteoporosis, herpetiformic (Duhring) dermatitis, polyneurititis, ataxia, depression, behavioural disorders, menstrual cycle disorders and infertility. Therefore our attention is currently focused on the screening of these groups of subjects. The purpose of our study was to check the frequency of the celiac disease with patients with diagnosed osteoporosis and osteopenia. In our study we have confirmed the assumption that the prevalence ofthe celiac disease in the group of subjects was 1 : 50, which means that 2.2% of patients with osteoporosis and osteopenia are affected by celiac sprue and therefore screening examination of these patients with the subsequent causal treatment (gluten-free diet) is recommended.

Loop diuretics are integral part of overall therapy of severe congestive heart failure. Approximately 10-20 % of patients with congestive heart failure (NYHA class III-IV) do not respond satisfactorily to diuretic treatment. Despite its frequency, the term "diuretic resistance" remains inadequately defined. In general, failure to decrease the extracellular fluid volume despite liberal use of diuretics is often termed "diuretic resistance". The combination of diuretics, particularly of loop diuretic with thiazide agents, is recommended for prevention as well as treatment of this complication. Effective management is also continuous infusion of loop diuretic. If it is impossible to achieve adequate response by combination of diuretics, increasing of its dosage or/and frequency or continuous infusion, then dialysis methods may be employed (however it is not intended to discuss this option in this article).
