LACTOSE-BARIUM SMALL BOWEL STUDY

A Case of Intestinal Obstruction Caused by Barium Retention after Small Bowel Radiography with Barium Meal

Introduction: It’s a rare report about intestinal obstruction caused by barium retention after small bowel radiography of oral barium. An 83-year-old woman was admitted for bile duct cancer with metal stent and incomplete intestinal obstruction .The patient ever did upper gastrointestinal barium meal examination which showed the mucosa of descending part of duodenum was unclear and contrast med...

Practical Lessons from the Small Bowel Bleeding Lesions: A Case Report on Small Bowel Cavernous Hemangioma

Lactose malabsorption in Greek adults: correlation of small bowel transit time with the severity of lactose intolerance.

Using breath hydrogen analysis after 139 mmol (50 g) oral lactose load, we investigated the prevalence of lactose malabsorption in 200 Greek adults and examined the relationship between symptoms and small bowel transit time. One hundred and fifty subjects had increased breath hydrogen concentrations (greater than 20 ppm) after the lactose load. In these individuals peak breath hydrogen concentr...

Barium Peritonitis in Small Animals

Barium peritonitis is extremely rare, but is difficult to treat and may be life-threatening. Barium suspension leakage from the gastrointestinal tract into the abdominal cavity has a time-dependent and synergistically deleterious effect in patients who have generalized bacterial peritonitis. The severity of barium peritonitis is dependent on the quantity of barium in the abdominal cavity. Bariu...

Pattern approach for diseases of mesenteric small bowel on barium studies.

Despite an array of sophisticated imaging techniques, the barium examination remains a valuable diagnostic test for evaluating structural abnormalities of the small bowel. Most patients can be examined with conventional small-bowel follow-through studies, in which periodic imaging of the entire small bowel is performed by using fluoroscopic guidance; however, some patients may benefit from ente...
