Esophageal duplication cysts (EDCs) are congenital malformations of the posterior primitive foregut and often within the thoracic esophagus. Here we describe a rare case of intra-abdominal EDC near spleen in a 20-year-old female patient with a complaint of an asymptomatic abdominal mass for 5 years. The diagnosis of intra-abdominal EDC was confirmed by the Ultrasonography (US) and Magnetic reso...

A 59-year-old man with past medical history of thoracic aortic aneurysm treated with thoracic endovascular aortic repair presented with melena for 2 weeks. Initial EGD did not reveal the source of bleeding and showed normal esophagus; abdominal arteriogram did not reveal a fistulous communication and initial CTA showed normal position of the aortic graft stent without endoleak. The sixth EGD re...

Background: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a disease involving the esophagus due to an immune system reaction and has clinical symptoms similar gastroesophageal reflux (GERD). Currently, only definitive way diagnose this endoscopy biopsy of esophageal tissue. Objectives: In study, we investigated diagnostic value ultrasound differentiate EoE from GERD normal patterns. addition, assessed poss...

From 1975 to 1984, 894 patients with gastric cancer were operated on in the Department of Surgery at Kurume University School of Medicine. Of these, 86 (10%) had upper gastric cancer invading the esophagus. The 86 resected tumors were divided into two groups according to the surgical approach, thoraco-abdominal or abdominal. Twenty-three (27%) were resected through the abdominal approach and 63...

Ligation of the cardiac end of the stomach or of the esophagus in ten dogs produced a severe toxemia, and rapid death. In seven of the animals there occurred a marked rise in the total non-protein nitrogen and urea nitrogen of the blood. The dogs living longest with cardiac obstruction showed a fall in blood chlorides and a rise in the CO(2)-combining power of the plasma. All the dogs with an o...

During the experiment with a dissected cervical part of the right vagosympathetic trunk on 23 adult cats, we actually simulated partial cardiospasm, a trigger of which, in our opinion, is the loss of preganglionic chain of parasympathetic reflex arch and an expressed autonomy of innervation as well as independence on the central nervous effects of the cardiac sphincter of the esophagus. The res...
