24 Introduction. Pancreatic polypeptide (PP) is an anorexigenic hormone released from 25 pancreatic F-cells upon food intake. We aimed to determine the effect of PP on 26 gastric accommodation and gastric emptying in conscious Wistar HAN rats to 27 investigate whether effects on motor function could contribute to its anorexigenic 28 effects. Methods. Intragastric pressure (IGP) was measured thr...

Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PP) is a rare disease characterized by the presence of mucinous ascites and low and progressive accumulation of peritoneal implants. We report the case of a 44-year-old man presented with ascites, imaging evaluations suggesting the diagnosis of gelatinous peritoneal carcinomatosis. The patient underwent laparoscopy with extensive cytoreductive surgery combined with hyper...

The combination of Pleth Variability Index (PVI) and passive leg raising (PLR)-induced pulse pressure variation may help to diagnose hypovolemia in spontaneously breathing patients. In 44 subjects, PVI and Pulse Pressure (PP) variation after PLR were measured before and after induced hypovolemia (blood gift or hemodialysis session). PVI values were significantly greater after hemodialysis sessi...
