Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role MDCT in detecting and predicting blunt bowel mesenteric injuries. Materials methods: This is a retrospective observational 66 patients (54 males, 12 females, average age 45.5 years) who underwent laparotomy at Nghe An Friendship General Hospital between April 2020 August 2021 with diagnosis and/or injuries abdominal trauma. All these h...

Hydrogen peroxide is a common over-the-counter solution that has developed a growing body of literature regarding toxic ingestion. Intentional ingestion of high concentration hydrogen peroxide for health purposes has gained popularity in certain patient populations; purported benefits are due to the increased oxygen released into the blood stream. We present for evaluation one such case with as...

BACKGROUND Chronic radiation enteritis develops in 5-20% of patients following abdominal and pelvic radiation. Current treatments are largely ineffective. OBJECTIVE To assess the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2) as a treatment for chronic radiation enteritis and evaluate the relative effectiveness in treatment of the proximal and distal gastrointestinal tract. DESIGN Case s...

Accidental ingestion of foreign bodies is a common problem in children. Magnetic bead toys are hazardous, having potentially lethal consequences if ingested. These magnets conglomerate in different segments of bowel, causing pressure necrosis, perforation and/or fistula formation anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract. A clinical diagnostic pitfall is that the appearance on the initial abdom...

BACKGROUND Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are effective for arthritis but cause gastrointestinal injury. Bovine colostrum is a rich source of growth factors and is marketed as a health food supplement. AIMS To examine whether spray dried, defatted colostrum or milk preparations could reduce gastrointestinal injury caused by indomethacin. METHODS Effects of test solutions, ad...

Burn injury and sepsis produce acute gastrointestinal derangements that may predispose patients to bacterial translocation. We studied the effects of enalapril, an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI), on gastrointestinal anatomic alterations, bacterial translocation, and related mortality during gut-derived sepsis in burned mice that had received a prior bacterial challenge. BALB/c m...

The nature of the gastrointestinal injury following bone marrow transplantation and its clinical and nutritional sequelae are poorly defined. Prospective assessments of gastrointestinal function, nutritional status, and wellbeing were therefore carried out in 47 consecutive patients (28 males, 19 females; mean age 8.4 years) undergoing bone marrow transplant. 31 diarrhoeal episodes (median dura...

INTRODUCTION The incidence of acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) after colorectal surgery is low when laparoscopic techniques are used. While elevated intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) and intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) are associated with AGI grade II, little is known about the relation between increased IAP during laparoscopy and subsequent AGI. AIM To assess the impact of increased IAP d...

Cyclooxygenase type 1 is constitutively expressed and accounts for synthesis of prostaglandins in the normal gastrointestinal tract. Cyclooxygenase-2 is expressed at sites of inflammation. Selective inhibitors of cyclooxygenase-2 have been suggested to spare gastrointestinal prostaglandin synthesis, and therefore lack the ulcerogenic effects associated with standard nonsteroidal antiinflammator...

Background: SARS COV-2 is the cause of current outbreak COVID-19. The infection causes changes in gut- lung axis and intestinal microbiota pro-inflammatory cytokines interaction which leads to injury gastrointestinal tract. One symptoms COVID-19 outside respiratory system a complaint GIT. Materials Methods: We present case report that begins with abdominal pain. Results: There was no previous s...
