Mesenteric ischemia is rare (<1%), but very ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Mesenteric ischemia/reperfusion injury induces a systemic response and releases harmful substances that may affect distant organs such as the lung, liver and kidney. We designed this study to determine if curcumin has protective effects against mesenteric ischemia/reperfusion injury and mesenteric ischemia/reperfusion-induced intestinal and distant organ injury. METHODS Forty ...

OBJECTIVES Biochemical markers are important for the timely diagnosis and follow-up of ischemic events. Most of the markers have been previously studied in the context of cardiac ischemia. However, research on markers of non-cardiac events has been insufficient. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between troponin and myoglobin which are commonly used markers of cardiac ischemia, in non...

background in contemporary practice, acute mesenteric ischemia (ami) remains a serious cause of morbidity and mortality in abdominal emergencies. objectives we report the measurement of peritoneal fluid potassium and ph on a small series of rats that developed extensive ami following the surgical ligation of superior mesenteric vessels and compare the results with control groups. materials and ...

INTRODUCTION Some publications have demonstrated the presence of lung reperfusion injury in mesenteric ischemia and reperfusion (I/R), but under to diverse methods. Postconditioning has been recognized as effective in preventing reperfusion injury in various organs and tissues. However, its effectiveness has not been evaluated in the prevention of lung reperfusion injury after mesenteric ischem...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Measurement of serum lactate remains the most frequently applied laboratory investigation to diagnose acute mesenteric (intestinal) ischemia. The present review aims at critically questioning the widespread measurement of serum lactate to diagnose acute mesenteric ischemia in clinical practice and at drawing attention to more novel markers of intestinal ischemia. METHODS An el...

An ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury of small intestine is a serious and common condition that result the blockage superior mesenteric artery (SMA) because significant clinical problems. This study evaluated effect Mesna on systemic induced by ischemia/reperfusion (IR) in also liver, kidney lung as remote organs. Forty Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into four groups: control, ischemia...

OBJECTIVE To assess the preconditioning and postconditioning effect on intestinal mucosal lesions in rats undergone mesenteric ischemia and reperfusion procedure. METHODS Thirty Wistar rats were studied and divided into three groups: Group A, 10 rats undergone mesenteric ischemia (30 minutes) and reperfusion (60 minutes); Group B, 10 rats undergone mesenteric ischemia and reperfusion preceded...

Non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) refers to all types of mesenteric ischemia without any organic blockage of blood vessels. It is usually seen in elderly age group with risk factors of previous myocardial infarction, congestive cardiac failure, aortic insufficiency, renal or liver impairment and post-cardiac surgery. Amongst all the cases of acute mesenteric ischemia, NOMI constitutes 20...

Hepatic portal venous gas with pneumatosis intestinalis are radiological clues of intestinal ischemia. Prompt evaluation and a high index of clinical suspicion for the diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia are necessary given the high mortality of this condition. We present a case of mesenteric ischemia, radiological clues to diagnosis, and associated mechanisms.
