Closed duodenal loops may be made in dogs by ligatures placed just below the pancreatic duct and just beyond the duodenojejunal junction, together with a posterior gastro-enterostomy. These closed duodenal loop dogs die with symptoms like those of patients suffering from volvulus or high intestinal

The relative contributions of several gut-derived peptides as enterogastrones known to be released in response to a fatty meal and to inhibit acid secretion have not previously been compared directly. We determined the acid-inhibitory activities of increasing intravenous doses of several peptides

Ten adolescent and young adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) have had well-documented recurrent attacks of acute pancreatitis. The diagnosis of CF in each patient was delayed because they did not have pancreatic insufficiency. The diagnosis of CF was documented by the typical pulmonary involvement and

Pancreas divisum is a variant of pancreatic ductal drainage. Its existence is being observed more frequently with the widespread use of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). On occasion, a relative stenosis of the accessory sphincter will cause a symptom complex which includes

A 36-yr-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of severe vomiting and diarrhea. Upper gastrointestinal series showed deformity of the duodenum. Serum gastrin level was very high (1,829 pg/ml) and secretin provocative test presented a positive result (peak 4,535 pg/ml). We diagnosed his

This study investigated the influence of visceral osteopathic technique (VOT) on the behaviour and gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms of children with autism using a validated questionnaire to measure outcome. METHODS The 49 recruited autistic children suffered GI symptoms and impaired social

BACKGROUND The most common symptoms of chronic pancreatitis are abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weight loss. The abdominal pain has no consistent pattern, and nausea and vomiting commonly occur simultaneously. Gastroparesis may produce similar symptoms. These similar symptoms may cause diagnostic

Digestion is a process which takes place in resting conditions. Exercise is characterised by a shift in blood flow away from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract towards the active muscle and the lungs. Changes in nervous activity, in circulating hormones, peptides and metabolic end products lead to
