The results of the study of the suspension stability of the blood after upper gastrointestinal tract obstruction are reported. After obstruction of the cardiac end of the stomach, of the pylorus, and of the jejunum the red cells separate from the plasma much more rapidly than normal. The variation in sedimentation time is due to a variation in the physicochemical status of the blood.

After obstruction of the upper gastrointestinal tract the surface tension of the blood serum of the dog shows no marked change. There is a tendency of the time-drop to increase 24 hours after operation. There is no characteristic course of the time-drop.

Comparative observations are reported on the chloride content of the blood, liver, and muscle of the dog after obstruction of the upper gastrointestinal tract. After obstruction of the pylorus there is a marked fall in the chloride content of the liver, and a slight fall in the muscle. Similar changes are observed after obstruction of the jejunum. With obstruction of the cardiac end of the stom...

â  upper gastrointestinal tract (gastroduodenal) crohn’s disease (cd) is an uncommon condition, occurring in about 1-5% of all cd cases. our case was an extremely rare manifestation of cd, who presented with distal duodenal obstruction. as preoperative diagnosis was not estabâ­lished he underwent segmental resection and end-to-end anastomosis. postoperative small bowel fistulae were not obser...

Bidirectional endoscopy (BE) is often used to assess patients for the reason of anemia or to screen asymptomatic population for malignancy. Limited clinical data favors to perform first the upper gastrointestinal system endoscopy, but its effect to the duration of colonoscopy is yet to be determined. The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the effect of upper gastrointestinal system ...

The upper gastrointestinal microflora has been studied by intubation in a group of infants without diarrhoea. The aerobic flora of the nose and throat, and the aerobic and anaerobic flora of the stoma...

UNLABELLED Non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a common problem in everyday clinical practice. While treating patients affected by UGIB, the estimation of the risk of complications is very important. The Rockall Score is one of the methods used in clinical practice that allows doing that. The aim of this paper is to assess the usefulness of the aforementioned scoring system w...
