OBJECTIVE Small bowel ischemia following laparoscopy was described recently as a rare fatal complication of the CO2 pneumoperitoneum. Of the 8 cases reported in the surgical literature, 7 were fatal, 1 was not. In this report, we describe the first gynecological case. METHODS A 34-year-old woman who

BACKGROUND Paraesophageal hernias are rare and, when associated with symptoms, the risk of complications increases, becoming a surgical emergency. METHODS We report a case of a 53 year-old female with 3 weeks of clinical evolution including abdominal pain, nausea and occasional vomiting; 24 h prior

A 32 years old female was admitted to hospital due to acute abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and liquid stools. Physical examination was normal except for pain on her left inferior abdominal quadrant without peritoneal irritation signs. An abdominal CAT-scan suggested thrombosis at celiac trunk,

BACKGROUND Obturator hernia is a rare variety of abdominal hernia, it accounts for 0.07%-1.0% of all hernias, and occurs most often in women of advanced age and multiparous. METHODS A 78-year-old female was admitted to the Emergency Department due to nausea, vomiting, complaints of abdominal

OBJECTIVE To improve clinicians' ability of diagnosing testicular torsion. METHODS We reviewed the data of a case of testicular torsion that resulted in necrosis because of delayed presentation and repeated misdiagnosis, and analyzed its anatomic features, clinical manifestations, ultrasound

Polyarteritis nodosa involves necrotising vasculitis of small and medium-sized arteries. Multiple organ systems are involved. A non-specific and slow course of disease is common. Gastrointestinal involvement is characterised by abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Bowel infarction and perforation,

A woman in her 70s was referred for the management of complex intestinal fistulation, which had developed as a postoperative complication of laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication. Surgical treatment of a jejunocolocutaneous fistula and formation of a double-barrelled ileocolostomy was undertaken

Acute esophageal necrosis (AEN) or "black esophagus" is a rare condition presented by patients with critical state of health and characterized by a darkened esophagus, usually the distal third, in upper digestive endoscopy. The main clinical manifestation is upper gastrointestinal bleeding and there

BACKGROUND Acyclovir is one of the most common prescribed antiviral drugs. Acyclovir nephrotoxicity occurs in approximately 12-48% of cases. It can present in clinical practice as acute kidney injury (AKI), crystal-induced nephropathy, acute tubulointerstitial nephritis, and rarely, as tubular

Tropisetron is a serotonin receptor (5-HT-R)-modulating agent and approved as an antiemetic for patients undergoing chemotherapy. In the gut, it acts via specific serotonin receptors, 5-HT₃ -R, to elicit its beneficial effects against nausea. We investigated whether tropisetron can affect

Pentoxifylline (POF) may suppress overproduction of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha), which is thought to contribute to complications of human falciparum malaria. However, POF is believed to improve impaired capillary blood flow, which can be impaired in falciparum malaria. To test whether
