Strangulation Obstruction—Postoperative Antibiotic Protection

Clostridial toxins in strangulation obstruction and antibiotic-related colitis.

Clostridial toxins have previously been implicated in both strangulation obstruction and antibioticassociated colitis. These experiments show that these toxins are identical or similar in both diseases. Eighteen dogs with strangulation obstruction were studied. Closed midjejunal loops were constructed and bowel continuity was reestablished by end-to-end anastomosis. Venous blood supply to the c...

to the respiration from pressure applied externally to the air passages. The difference between the two lies in the manner in which the force producing this obstruction is applied.
