Although infants with meconium ileus usually present with apparent symptoms shortly after birth, the diagnosis of meconium ileus and cystic fibrosis (CF) may be delayed, awaiting newborn screening (NBS) results. We present the case of an 11-day-old term girl with delayed passage of meconium at 48
A 26-year-old patient presented with epigastric pain of sudden onset and severe puffy swelling of both legs and forearms. An irregularly shaped nodular filling defect on selective jejunal films, severe hypoproteinemia, low IgG concentration, and lymphopenia were suggestive of primary intestinal
BACKGROUND
The objective of this study was to evaluate the mid-term outcomes of the laparoscopic ileal interposition into the jejunum (JII-SG) or into the duodenum (DII-SG) associated with sleeve gastrectomy for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with BMI below 35.
METHODS
The procedures were
In patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis parenteral nutrition (PN) is indicated when enteral nutrition is not possible or should be avoided for medical reasons. In Crohn's patients PN is indicated when there are signs/symptoms of ileus or subileus in the small intestine, scars or
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this study was to evaluate early cyclosporine (CsA) withdrawal from a sirolimus (SRL)-CsA-steroid (ST) regimen.
METHODS
Within 48 hr after transplantation, 525 primary (90%) or secondary (10%) renal allograft recipients with cadaveric (89%) or living (11%) donors received 2
OBJECTIVE
To examine the incidence, risk factors, and sequelae associated with asymptomatic hyperlipasemia in the ICU.
METHODS
Medical and surgical ICUs.
METHODS
Two hundred forty-five adult critically ill patients admitted to an ICU for > 72 h with a diagnosis other than pancreatitis were studied
Nutritional concepts in acute pancreatitis are undergoing a rapid change. An early start of nutrition via nasojejunal tubes is about to replace parenteral nutrition. Yesterday it was believed that the pancreas had to be put at rest. Thus, stimulation of pancreatic secretion by enteral nutrition was
Congenital chylous ascites is a rare cause of ascites in newborn infants. Its aetiology varies from localised leaky lymphatic duct to genetic syndromes. Most of these cases have transient ascites resolving over time with conservative management but some may progress needing medical as well as
Acute pancreatitis is one of the complications associated with severe primary and secondary hypertriglyceridemia. The frequency of hypertriglyceridemia in patients with pancreatitis ranges from 4 to 53%. The elevation in serum triglycerides probably induces the release of free fatty acids,
Organ harvesting from a living donor or spatial constraints in the recipient's abdominal cavity are the main factors to be considered in the segmental transplantation of the small intestine. It was the aim of the following study to gain insight into the functional characteristics of different
The aim of the following study was to gain some insight into the functional characteristics of different portions of the small intestine after either partial resection or syngeneic and allogeneic transplantation 3 months postoperatively. Nutritional parameters (serum albumin levels, serum
The occurrence of a postoperative complication represents an additional stress factor for patients and leads in many cases rapidly to a malnutrition status. Thus a nutritional support is required as soon as the foreseeable duration of starvation has a longer duration than one week. Considering its
BACKGROUND
Hypertriglyceridemia is defined as a level of triglycerides above 150 mg/dL. The complex causes and classification of hypertriglyceridemia lead to difficulties in the diagnosis and management of this condition.
UNASSIGNED
We present the case of a 15 years and 6 months old female teenager,
Background: Long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders (LC-FAOD) are autosomal recessive conditions that impair conversion of long-chain fatty acids into energy, leading to significant clinical symptoms. Triheptanoin is a highly purified,
OBJECTIVE
To describe the clinical picture and outcome, and to assess the etiological factors of acute and recurrent pancreatitis in children.
METHODS
Thirty-six (65.5%) patients with acute and 19 (34.5%) with recurrent pancreatitis were studied. Mean age was 126 (41.3 SD) months; 27 (49.1%) were
