Intestinal obstruction represents a severe intestinal disease associated with higher mortality rates. However, the determinants of mortality in patients with intestinal obstruction remain inadequately...
A retrospective analysis was performed on a cohort of 227 patients diagnosed with intestinal obstruction at the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University, spanning the period from September 7, 2022, ...
A cohort of 227 patients diagnosed with intestinal obstruction (median age, 59.02 years [IQR, 48.95-70.85 years]) was included in our study. Malignant bowel obstruction (MBO) and COVID-19 were identif...
The study identifies MBO, gastric cancer, COVID-19, PPC, and VTE as potential risk factors for mortality in cases of intestinal obstruction. These findings highlight the necessity for continuous monit...
Intestinal obstruction is an uncommon non-obstetric condition during pregnancy which may cause maternal and fetal mortality. Clinicians are confronted with challenges in diagnosis and treatment of int...
We reported a 39-year old, gravida 7, para 2, woman who suffered from acute intestinal obstruction at 34 weeks of gestation. Ultrasonography and abdominal computed tomography were applied for intestin...
Although uncommon during pregnancy, clinical suspicion of bowel obstruction is necessary especially in women with a history of abdominal surgery. Surgical intervention is indicated when conservative t...
Presentation of congenital diaphragmatic hernia in adulthood is rare. Further, most cases are attributable to Bochdalek and Morgagni hernias with central tendon hernias being particularly uncommon. We...
To explore clinical characteristics, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of intestinal obstruction due to mesodiverticular band (MDB) in children in a single center in China....
The clinical data of 20 children with acute intestinal obstruction due to MDB between 1998 and 2020 were retrospectively analyzed....
The male-to-female ratio was 14:6 in 20 cases. Except one case of 7-month pregnant stillbirth, the cases were aged from 7 days to 14 years, at the median age of 4.31 years. The common symptoms were vo...
MDB results from the remnant of vitelline vessel, and often causes acute intestinal obstruction without special clinical symptoms. Unexplained abdominal pain and distension without surgery history sho...
Preoperatively diagnosing irreversible intestinal ischemia in patients with strangulated bowel obstruction is difficult. Therefore, this study aimed to establish a prediction model for irreversible in...
We included 83 patients who underwent emergency surgery for strangulated bowel obstruction between January 2014 and March 2022. The predictors of irreversible intestinal ischemia in strangulated bowel...
The prediction model (range, 0-4) was established using a white blood cell count of ≥ 12,000/µL and the computed tomography value of peritoneal fluid that was ≥ 20 Hounsfield units. The areas of the r...
Our model may help predict irreversible intestinal ischemia that necessitates bowel resection for strangulated bowel obstruction cases and thus enable surgeons to recognize the severity of the situati...
We aimed to analyze the computed tomography (CT) imaging signs of bowel wall ischemia in patients with acute intestinal obstruction and construct an imaging prediction model to guide clinical treatmen...
An 87-year-old woman visited her primary-care doctor because of nausea and epigastric pain. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed a giant bezoar in her stomach. She was referred to our hospital af...
BACKGROUND Jejunal diverticulosis are false diverticula of the small bowel that form from outpouching of the mucosa and submucosa. They are pulsion diverticula that are often asymptomatic and can be f...
TARP syndrome, characterized by talipes equinovarus, atrial septal defect, Robin sequence, and persistent left superior vena cava, is an X-linked recessive condition caused by deleterious variants in ...
We present a male neonate diagnosed with TARP syndrome via trio whole exome sequencing who had classic features of this syndrome, although his course was additionally complicated by feeding intoleranc...
We highlight the importance of full post-mortem examination in understanding the complete spectrum of manifestations of genetic syndromes and provide a review of the literature....
Malignant small bowel obstruction (mSBO) is a common consequence of advanced malignancies. Surgical consultation is common, however data on the outcomes following an operation are lacking. We investig...
Patients with a preoperative diagnosis of mSBO who underwent intestinal bypass between 2015 and 2021 were included. Isolated colonic obstruction was excluded as was gastric outlet obstruction. Periope...
Overall, 55 patients were identified, with a mean age of 61.2 ± 14 years. The most common primary malignancy was colorectal cancer (65.5%) and 80% of patients had a preoperative diagnosis of metastati...
Patients with mSBO face a potentially terminal condition. In this study, approximately 75% of patients who underwent intestinal bypass were able to regain the ability to eat, and 49% returned to oncol...
