up a group of some importance. Rickham (1952) has estimated that up to 950 babies are born in Great Britain each year with congenital defects amenable to surgery and the obstructions form a large part of these. This subject has been well discussed in several recent articles (Gross, 1953; Jolleys, 1952; Santulli, 1954; Swain and France, 1954, etc.). In this paper I wish to refer to particular as...

In earlier publications Whipple, Stone, and Bernheim (1, 2, 3, 4) have established facts which have an important bearing on this question of proteose intoxication. Some of these points will be reviewed, but for the detailed experiments the original papers should be consulted. In this work closed loops of intestine have been used because it has been established by previous experiments that an ac...

Whipple, Stone, and Bernheim I studied the cause of death in dogs with high intestinal obstruction, by producing a closed loop of the duodenum, beginning just below the pancreatic ducts and ending beyond the suspensory ligament. This portion was isolated from • the remainder of the intestinal tract by tying a heavy ligature tightly at these two points, and burying it under an inverted layer of ...

Objective: Gastric dilatation also known as gastrointestinal obstruction or bloat is an acute and life-threatening condition in pet rabbits commonly caused by an intestinal obstruction with pellets, foreign bodies and compressed hair. Methods: In June 2014, a two years old male New Zealand white rabbit were referred to Karaj Central Veterinary hospital, Karaj, Iran with the history of acute ano...

Intestinal obstruction is a common complication in patients with advanced abdominal or pelvic cancer. The synthetic somatostatin analogue octreotide can help relieve nausea, vomiting and pain in patients with inoperable obstruction. Here, we report a case of recurrent intestinal obstruction in a patient with adenocarcinoma. Although the obstruction was resolved after 3 days of treatment with oc...
