Chemical changes are reported occurring in the blood of animals with obstruction of the jejunum, in which distilled water or sodium chloride solutions were introduced directly into the lumen of the intestine below the point of obstruction. Distilled water given daily from the beginning of the obstruction, had no influence on the development or course of the toxemia. 1 and 2 per cent salt soluti...

Intestinal duplication is a rare congenital malformation that usually detected or becomes symptomatic in early paediatric age and rarely reported adults. The ileum the most frequent site, while jejunum involved. Features are often nonspecific, hence difficult to diagnose. Ultrasonography preferred imaging method. surgical procedure determined depending on presentation. We present case of an adu...

The possibility that the small intestine may represent a reservoir for Clostridium difficile was studied, using segments of human jejunum collected at necropsy. Our results (three of 100 specimens positive for C difficile culture) support the hypothesis that C difficile can be found in human jejunum and that it adheres to the normal mucosa as a resident bacterium. These findings suggest that ga...

1. Jejunostomy does not prevent the development of the chemical changes of the blood characteristic of obstruction of the jejunum in the dog. 2. Jejunostomy following experimental obstruction of the jejunum has no beneficial effect upon the duration of life. There is some evidence that life may be shortened by early jejunostomy. 3. Treatment of jejunal obstruction with sodium chloride solution ...

Gall stones related complications are very common in the world, Bouveret’s syndrome is one of rare (1-3%). presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. We present case an 80-year-old lady diagnosed with gastric outlet obstruction jejunal impaction gallstones, because gallstone impacted jejunum 50 cm from duodenojejunal flexure. The patient was operated on enterotomy retrieval gall jejunum, ...

The study objective was to monitor Salmonella progression by photonic detection through segments of the gastrointestinal tract after oral inoculation. Pigs (~80 kg) were inoculated orally with 3.1 or 4.1 x 10(10) cfu of Salmonella Typhimurium transformed with plasmid pAK1-lux for a 6-h (n = 6) or 12-h (n = 6) incubation in vivo and then were killed for tissue harvest. Intestinal regions (duoden...
