Obere gastrointestinale Blutung mit hämorrhagischem Schock am Ende einer Urlaubsreise: Präklinische und innerklinische Versorgung eines gastrointesti…

2014

ZusammenfassungNach der Rückkehr aus dem Urlaub wurde ein 55-jähriger Patient mit Teerstuhl und hämorrhagischem Schock im Zugabteil eines InterCity der Deutschen Bahn notfallmedizinisch versorgt und in ein Krankenhaus der Maximalversorgung eingeliefert. Hier erfolgte zunächst die weitere notfallmedizinische Behandlung, in deren Rahmen in der internistischen Notaufnahme in interdisziplinärer Zusammenarbeit eine Stabilisierung der Hämodynamik sowie die Sicherung der Atemwege und Atemfunktion erfolgten. Anschließend wurde eine Notfall-Endoskopie des oberen Gastrointestinaltrakts durchgeführt. Ursächlich für das hämorrhagische Schockgeschehen war eine arteriell spritzende, endoskopisch nicht zu…

Clinical pharmacokinetics of atenolol — A review

1982

Atenolol is a hydrophilic betareceptor blocking drug, which is predominantly eliminated via the kidneys, only about 5% of the atenolol is metabolised by the liver. After oral administration atenolol is incompletely absorbed from the intestine, so about 50% of the beta blocker are finally biovailable. In plasma only 3% of atenolol are protein-bound. There exists a linear relationship between the atenolol plasma levels and the degree of beta blocking effect measured by inhibition of the exercise-induced tachycardia. No correlation was found between plasma levels of atenolol and blood pressure lowering activity of the drug. After oral administration elimination half life of atenolol is calcula…

Adverse Effects of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs on the Small and Large Bowel

1999

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) account for a large part of prescriptions and self-administered medication worldwide. The adverse effects on the upper gastrointestinal tract are well documented. However, in an increasing number of publications adverse effects in the small and large intestine distal to the duodenum are being reported. This paper provides an updated review of current as well as earlier literature on the pathogenesis of such adverse effects and the potential damage to the small and large bowel caused by NSAID. In addition, suggestions for an appropriate diagnostic workup of NSAID damage are discussed.

Medical treatment for inoperable malignant bowel obstruction: a qualitative systematic review.

2007

The use of symptomatic agents has greatly improved the medical treatment of advanced cancer patients with inoperable bowel obstruction. A systematic review of studies of the most popular drugs used in the medical management of inoperable malignant bowel obstruction was performed to assess the effectiveness of these treatments and provide some lines of evidence. Randomized trials that involved patients with a clinical diagnosis of intestinal obstruction due to advanced cancer treated with these drugs were reviewed. Five reports fulfilled inclusion criteria. Three studies compared octreotide (OC) and hyoscine butylbromide (HB), and two studies compared corticosteroids (CSs) and placebo. Globa…

Small bowel volvulus due to a large intestinal lipoma: A rare case report

2020

Highlights • These are rare, benign, slow-growing mesenchymal tumors originating from adipose tissue in the bowel wall. Lipomas of mesentery, mesocolon, and antimesenteric side of intestine are extremely rare. • We describe a case of small bowel obstruction secondary to volvulus due to an antimesenteric ileal lipoma. • Mesenteric lipomas are rare clinical entity, with less than 50 cases described in English language literature. CT scan is the gold standard imaging modality for diagnosis of mesenteric lipoma and other lipomatous abdominal masses. • It shows homogenous tumor of adipose tissue, gives information about features of the small bowel and if there is evidence of ischemia and can dem…

Multiple Congenital Colonic Stenosis: A Rare Gastrointestinal Malformation

2016

Congenital colonic stenosis is a rare pediatric condition. Since 1968, only 16 cases have been reported in the literature. To the authors’ knowledge, multiple congenital colonic stenosis has not been previously reported in the literature. We report the case of a 2-month-old male, presented at our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with a suspicion of intestinal malrotation. Clinical examination revealed persistent abdominal distension. During the enema examination, the contrast medium appeared to fill the lumen of the colon up to three stenotic segments and could not proceed further. Intraoperatively we confirmed the presence of four types of colonic atresia, located in the ascending, transverse,…

Infliximab and ulcerative colitis

Expert Opin Biol Ther. 2006 Apr;6(4):401-8. Infliximab and ulcerative colitis. Cottone M, Mocciaro F, Modesto I. Università di Palermo, Istituto di Medicina Generale e Pneumologia, Via Trabucco 180, Palermo, Italy. dickens@tin.it Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha is an inflammatory cytokine that plays a main role in the inflammatory process underlying inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Despite the fact that the cytokine profiles associated with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) are classically considered different (a Th2 pattern in UC and a Th1 pattern in CD), there are several evidences in vitro and in vivo that TNF-alpha has an important role in UC. For this reason, inflixi…
