Small Bowel Obstruction—Who Needs an Operation? A Multivariate Prediction Model

Practical Lessons from the Small Bowel Bleeding Lesions: A Case Report on Small Bowel Cavernous Hemangioma

Report of an interesting case of small bowel duplication [Persian]

  A 13 years old boy with severe abdominal pain and history of intermittent (II bleeding since the aye of 3 months, is presented. Different diagnostic procedures were unremarkable. A Tc-99m Pertechnetate abdominal study revealed abnormal radionuclide accumulation in small bowel region. Duplication of small bowel was suspected which was confirmed by surgery and patholo...

A multivariate prediction model of schizophrenia.

Univariate prediction models of schizophrenia may be adequate for hypothesis testing but are narrowly focused and limited in predictive efficacy. Therefore, we used a multivariate design to maximize the prediction of schizophrenia from premorbid measures and to evaluate the relative importance of various predictors. Two hundred twelve Danish subjects with at least one parent diagnosed in the sc...

Small-bowel enema. An underutilized method of small-bowel examination.

The results of 88 consecutive small-bowel enemas were compared retrospectively with the results of 52 routine small-bowel series and 50 barium enemas done in the same patients. Ninety-six percent of the diagnoses made by small-bowel enema were correct, as compared to only 65% made by routine small-bowel series. The incorrect studies were mostly false negatives and the abnormalities missed inclu...

An animal model for the study of small-bowel tumors.

An animal model for the study of small-bowel tumors has been investigated. Tumors were induced in male Holtzman rats by X-irradiation of only the hypoxic, temporarily exteriorized ileum and jejunum. Following an exposure of 2000 R, 56% of the rats developed adenocarcinoma some where in the irradiated segment. Macroscopic métastases were not observed outside the small intestine: however, métas...
