Prenatal diagnosis of junctional epidermolysis bullosa associated with pyloric atresia was carried out in a couple at risk. Their two previous children had died during the first months of life of the same disorder despite surgery for the pyloric abnormality. Ultrastructural study of fetal skin biopsies obtained at 18 weeks' gestation showed dermal-epidermal separation at the lamina lucida level...

Pyloric stenosis is defined as an obstruction to gastric emptying due to any cause situated above .he biliary ampulla. This article is concerned with the clinical features, metabolic disorder, assessment and treatment of patients with pyloric stenosis; anatomical narrowing of the pyloric canal without delay in gastric emptying is not considered. In adults, symptoms due to the underlying lesion ...

Which features of network output are well preserved during growth of the nervous system and across different preparations of the same size? To address this issue, we characterized the pyloric rhythms generated by the stomatogastric nervous systems of 99 adult and 12 juvenile lobsters (Homarus americanus). Anatomical studies of single pyloric network neurons and of the whole stomatogastric gangl...

The ingestion of caustic soda is frequently a source complications. Esophageal stenosis remains among them the most frequent complication and by far formidable. Pyloric rare following soda. We report through this clinical case, cicatricial pyloric after associated with esophagus having caused vomiting onset severe malnutrition. diagnosis was confirmed oeso-gastro-duodenal transit (OGDT) child u...

Carmi syndrome comprises of EB (Epidermolysis Bullosa) and PA (pyloric atresia). We report the radiological finding of mucosal irregularity as seen in upper GI contrast study in the antral region and along the greater curvature in a case of this syndrome. This could act as a clinical tip off for the presence of Carmi syndrome in cases of a solitary PA. It is proposed that in such a case, the PA...

2. Swine pyloric juice also exhibited two proteolytic pH maxima, at pH values 1-6 and 2-6, which are lower than those of swine or human fundic extracts or of human gastric juice. 3. Crystalline swine pepsin can be separated into two components, one of which digested proteins with pH maxima close to those found with swine fundic mucosa and the other with maxima close to those found with pyloric ...

Acquired gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) during infancy beyond the neonatal period is a very rare condition when other congenital causes like infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, antral diaphragm, pyloric atresia etc are excluded. We report an unusual case of 6 month old male child who presented with recurrent episode of vomiting not relieved by medication. On gastrograffin study there was...
