Non-pulsed optical density of the small intestine was studied in 32 dogs and the results were compared with the data of angiotensometry and pulsomotorography. New regularities of blood circulation in the small intestine were detected: more than half of the total volume specific blood flow in the intestinal tissue is normally realized in vessels at a pressure below 40 mm Hg. An additional criterion of viability of the small intestine during ischemia is developed.

Autoimmune enteropathy (AIE) is a rare immune mediated disorder primarily affecting children, characterized by chronic diarrhea, malabsorption, vomiting, weight loss and villous atrophy. It has also been observed in adults presenting diagnostic and treatment challenges due to its overlap with other gastrointestinal disorders such as celiac disease. Initial diagnostic criteria for AIE include small bowel villous atrophy, lack of response to dietary restrictions, presence of anti-enterocyte antibodies, and predisposition to autoimmunity without severe immunodeficiency.

Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a serious condition with distinct symptoms such as constipation, vomiting, and abdominal distension. It is commonly caused by well-recognised factors. Recent advancements in imaging techniques and minimally invasive procedures have significantly improved our ability to accurately select patients for surgical intervention and promptly identify common SBO causes.

Methods: The primary components of PTQF were characterized using UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS. The identified compounds subsequently employed network pharmacology to predict the signaling pathways associated with the inflammatory phase of POI.

Background: Globally, totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy is increasingly being accepted by surgeons for the treatment of gastric cancer. Overlap anastomosis and π-shaped anastomosis are the two most commonly used anastomosis methods in total laparoscopic surgery; however, their safety and suitability for the population are still unclear.
Methods: A total of 162 consecutive patients with gastric cancer who underwent total laparoscopic total gastrectomy with overlap or π-shaped anastomosis were retrospectively analyzed.

Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a leading cause of general surgery inpatient admissions. SBO is most commonly associated with postoperative adhesions; however, neoplastic SBO is an important differential. Here, we present a case of neoplastic SBO secondary to leiomyosarcoma in a patient with known mature B cell lymphoma.
