OBJECTIVE
Acute intestinal pseudo-obstruction is a rare gastrointestinal manifestation of systemic sclerosis (SSc) with few data existing as to its demographics, clinical course, outcomes, and mortality.
METHODS
We undertook a case-control study to describe 64 cases in 37 unique patients, of whom
BACKGROUND
A 13-year-old girl presented to the emergency room at her local hospital with an acute onset of vomiting, severe abdominal pain and distension. There was evidence of small-bowel obstruction on plain abdominal x-ray. Throughout the girl's adolescent years she was admitted to hospital
BACKGROUND
Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is an intractable rare digestive disease manifesting persistent small bowel distension without any mechanical cause. Intestinal decompression is a key treatment, but conventional method including a trans-nasal small intestinal tube is invasive
On the basis of recent pathophysiological data and clinical observations in three patients, this paper draws attention to the commonly neglected importance of postoperative hypoproteinemia as the cause of an edema of the intestinal wall with a consequent "interstitial" paralytic ileus. The
To identify the incidence and risk factors for developing early postoperative paralytic ileus (POPI) after radical cystectomy and cutaneous ureterostomy with a unilateral and parallel stoma, we retrospectively reviewed 21 patients (mean age 73.0, 19 males and 2 females) with a minimum of 3 months of
BACKGROUND
Although chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is a rare and extremely severe functional digestive disorder, its clinical course and severity show various patterns. We assessed small bowel peristalsis in CIPO patients using cine-MRI (video-motion MRI) and their clinical
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of placement of nasojejunal feeding tube and nasojejunal nutrition feeding in children with acute pancreatitis.
METHODS
Twenty-two patients (of whom 13 had severe acute pancreatitis and 9 acute mild pancreatitis) who needed nutritional
Calorie and protein supplementation improves nutritional status. This support may improve outcome and decrease morbidity and mortality in acutely brain-injured patients. Investigators have observed a poor tolerance to enteral feedings after brain injury and have noted that this persists for
OBJECTIVE
Damage in the capillaries supplying the MP has been proposed as a critical factor in the development of diabetic enteric neuropathy. We therefore investigated connections between STZ-induced diabetes and the BM morphology, the size of caveolar compartments, the width of TJs, the transport
We present the case of a patient with lupus enteritis accompanied by both lupus cystitis and lupus nephritis without a history of systemic lupus erythematosus. The patient had a 2-month history of diarrhea and pollakiuria and was admitted to our hospital. Physical examination showed abdominal
High-output ileostomy (HOI) can affect quality of life, however, its primary cause remains unknown. This study aimed to identify a predictor of HOI after colorectal surgery.The medical records of forty-five patients who had undergone colorectal surgery with The protein-sparing effects of the peripheral infusion of crystalline amino acids (PAA) was studied metabolically in selected surgical patients subjected to various degrees of stress. Twenty-one patients (sixteen cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, three with major abdominal
The value of immediate postoperative enteral hyperalimentation with an elemental diet (high nitrogen Vivonex, full strength) at 125 cc per hour for 4 days was assessed in patients after radical urological surgery. Of 32 patients studied 21 received an elemental diet using a Vivonex Moss tube, which
Late radiation enteropathy (LRE) is a serious disorder, and therapeutic progress has thus far been hampered by insufficient understanding of the pathogenesis. This prospective study addresses whether alterations in proximal intestinal motility can predict the clinical severity of this disorder.
OBJECTIVE
The study aimed to identify factors that predict postoperative deviation from an enhanced recovery programme (ERP) and/or delayed discharge following colorectal surgery.
METHODS
Data were prospectively collected from all patients undergoing elective laparoscopic colorectal resection
