Is Meconium Obstruction Distinguishable from Intestinal Obstruction through Ultrasound?

Background: Since the treatment of meconium ileus is very different from other types of intestinal obstruction, it is very important to distinguish these two entities. The aim of this study was to assess sonographic findings to differentiate meconium ileus from other types of obstruction. Methods: This study was performed in Dr. Sheikh and Akbar hospitals, Mashhad Medical University of Science...

A study in small intestinal obstruction due to volvulus at Loghman Hakim Hospital

SUMMARY From April L 989 to March 1989 !here were 13 patients with small intestinal volvulus 23%, or all palients operated for small intestinal obstruction.All were male, age between 6 to 75, without any history of abdominal operation. Mortality was 38, 5% and morbidity included, intraabdominal abscesses, recurrent obstruction and wound infection were observed. Being the 3rd cause of intestin...

Usefulness of MR Imaging for Diseases of the Small Intestine: Comparison with CT

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the usefulness of MR imaging for diseases of the small intestine, emphasizing a comparison with CT. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-four patients who underwent both CT and MR imaging using FLASH 2D and HASTE sequences were analyzed. All patients had various small bowel diseases with variable association of peritoneal lesions. We compared the detectabilities of CT and MR ima...

Repairing effects of interleukin 11 (IL-11) towards high dose methotrexate-induced rat small intestinal mucositis and its impacts on T-lymphoblastic leukemia cell line

Objective(s): To investigate the efficacy of interleukin 11 (IL-11) towards the high dose methotrexate (HDMTX)-concurrent rat small intestinal mucositis and its impacts on the proliferation of the human T-lymphoblastic leukemia (CEM) cell line. Materials and Methods:95 Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups, the normal control group (A), the methotrexate (MTX) control group (B), th...
