Intestinal Adaptation in Pediatric Short Bowel Syndrome : Controlled Assessment of Duodenal Mucosa after Extensive Bowel Resection
… human data on intestinal adaptation in short bowel syndrome (SBS) is very limited. Aim of the study. We studied mucosal homeostasis of the duodenum in children with intestinal failure (IF) both during parenteral nutrition (PN) and after achieving intestinal autonomy by weaning off PN in …

Indications and outcomes of abdominal surgery in patients with Crohn s Disease attending a tertiary hospital: a single centre study
… heterogenous condion affecting predominantly the small bowel. Despite optimal medical therapy, it is associated with lifethreatening complications related to inflammation or fibro-stenotic disease that often require surgery. The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of a cohort of …

DIFFERENTIAL GENE EXPRESSION DURING ISCHEMIA AND REPERFUSION IN AN EXTRACORPOREAL SMALL BOWEL PERFUSION MODEL IN SWINE
Anhand des isoliert perfundierten Schweinedünndarms haben wir gezeigt, dass es besonders während der Reperfusion mit Schweinevollblut zu einer starken Entzündungsreaktion mit Freisetzung von Zytokinen und einer Induktion der entsprechenden mRNA-Expression kommt. Diese Reaktion zeigte sich schon …

The role of surgery in inflammatory bowel disease: six case histories
… in the management of patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Initially, laparotomy may be the only certain means of distinguishing Crohn's disease from a more sinister disgnosis such as lymphoma. Once a diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease has been made some of the difficulties in …

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in acute and persistent infantile diarrhoea
INTRODUCTION: Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth refers to the proliferation of abnormal numbers and types of microorganisms in the lumen of the proximal bowel. Bacterial overgrowth has been implicated as a possible factor in prolonging some episodes of infantile gastroenteritis. This thesis …

Ethnic Variations of Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease Within Canada
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract with highest prevalence in the Western world. Up to twenty-five percent of those who develop IBD are diagnosed in their childhood or adolescent years. Recent temporal trends in adult and pediatric …

Management of asymptomatic inguinal hernias
… study of all patients presenting with subacute bowel obstruction in one teaching hospital between 2003 and 2004. The aim of the study was to identify the most frequent causes of strangulation in patients presenting with small bowel obstruction. During the study one hundred and sixty-one patients …

Epithelial Cell Autophagy in Antibacterial Defense of the Small Intestine
… leading to pathologies such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and bacteremia. As a result, epithelial cell innate immune responses play an essential role in preventing bacterial invasion of host tissues and maintaining a symbiotic host-bacterial relationship. Autophagy is emerging as an …

Autologous intestinal lengthening procedures for short bowel syndrome. A systematic review of clinical effectiveness and an assessment of their utility for adult and paediatric patients with intestinal failure in the UK
Introduction:Short bowel syndrome (SBS) results from surgical resection, congenital defector disease-associated loss of absorption and is characterized by the inabilityto maintain protein-energy, fluid, electrolyte or micronutrient balances whenon a conventionally accepted, normal diet 1 .

Untersuchung des intraabdominellen Druckes im Verlauf der Laparostomatherapie
Background: In the surgical therapy of mechanical obstruction, peritonitis or trauma, the primary closure of the abdominal wall is frequently impossible. Objective parameters for determination of the abdominal wall closure after laparostomy are not known yet. So far, the intra-abdominal pressure …

Genetic Control Of Enteric Nervous System Development And Subtype Specification
… disease (HSCR) and chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) are life-threatening bowel motility disorders that cause growth failure, abdominal distention, and sometimes, early death. In HSCR, the enteric nervous system (ENS) does not develop completely, resulting in a region of bowel …

Pharmacogenetic markers of response to drugs used in the management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Background and Aims: The inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic diseases that affect populations worldwide and impart considerable morbidity to those affected. Immunosuppression in IBD is effective but limited by side effects and non-response. We aimed to identify pharmacogenetic markers of …
