Filter by:Although the pathophysiology of meconium obstruction of prematurity (MOP) is not clear, it is known that the decrease of the intestinal peristalsis due to decreased intestinal perfusion during antenatal or perinatal period. Recently, the level of citrulline has been used as an index of function and injury of the small intestine State. This study aimed to evaluate citrulline level of cord blood as a marker for early detection and observe changes in intestinal blood flow in MOP patient. And We aimed to confirm the efficacy of the AT/ET ratio (ratio of the pulmonary artery time-to-peak velocity interval to the right ventricular ejection time) of the prenatal pulmonary artery as a noninvasive predictor of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome.
It is difficult to predict which patients with acute small bowel obstruction require operative intervention and which ones can be handled conservatively. Similarly, strangulation remains difficult decision. The rationale for this observative study is to collect prospective cohort of patients with small bowel obstruction to create scoring system to predict early 1) small bowel obstruction resistant to conservative therapy, 2) strangulation.
This study is a non invasive study to see if 100% oxygen therapy will help to resolve an intestinal obstruction.
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate a feeding technique, sham feeding, to promote adequate oral skills in order to prevent oral aversion and/or poor oral skills due to the delay in oral feeds for surgical reasons. Sham feeding is intended for infants who are expected to have a prolonged course without normal enteral feeding by mouth.
This study will investigate the use of a drug called Gastrografin to aid in bowel mobility for paediatric patients who have undergone gastroschisis surgery. Gastroschisis is an abdominal wall birth defect where the bowel protrudes through a small opening beside the umbilicus. In these patients, the bowel is often less mobile due to its exposure outside of the body during fetal development. It is common for the bowel to be swollen and matted, which decreases motility and makes it increasingly difficult for the baby to have normal bowel function. Administering Gastrografin facilitates the entry of water into the intestines and bowel, which is thought to aid in bowel function and motility. This study will compare gastroschisis patients who received Gastrografin to gastroschisis patients collected as part of an ongoing observational study at our centre who did not receive Gastrografin.
Management of Malignant Bowel Obstruction (MBO) in Patients with Advanced Gynecological Cancers
Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a common presentation to the emergency department (ED) and represents 15% of hospital admissions for acute abdominal complaints. Plain radiography, although traditionally recommended as the initial diagnostic imaging modality of choice, has a sensitivity of only 59% to 77%. When clinical and radiographic assessment is indeterminate, computed tomography (CT) becomes the test of choice due to its superior resolution and increased ability to identify both obstruction and its aetiology Aim: this is a prospective study in a sample of patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with abdominal pain, vomiting, or other symptoms suggestive of a SBO (history of previous surgeries, constipation, abnormal bowel sounds, and abdominal distention). Patients will be evaluated with US prior to x-ray and CT, with possible diagnostic confirms by endoscopy or surgery.
This study evaluates the use of tape to secure nasogastric tubes compared to securement with a nasal bridle device.
A feasibility study to provide 'proof of concept' of Elemental Diet (ED) as an acceptable/ useful feeding option for patient with inoperable malignant bowel obstruction and to examine the impact of ED on quality of life
This study will compare the results of early surgery after 12 h conservative treatment and 48 h conservative treatment of adhesive small bowel obstruction.
