Purpose: To evaluate the effects of metoclopramide on abdominal wall healing in rats in the presence of sepsis.
Methods: 40 rats divided into two groups of twenty animals, subdivided into two subgroups of 10 animals each: group (E) - treated with metoclopramide, and saline-treated control group. The two groups were divided into subgroups of 10 to be killed on the 3rd day (n = 10) or day 7 (n = 10) after surgery. Sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture. We performed also the section and anastomosis in left colon. The synthesis of the abdominal wall was made with 3-0 silk thread. We measured the breaking strength of the abdominal wall and made the histopathological evaluation.
Results: on 3rd day postoperative, the average breaking strength in the E group was 0.83 ± 0.66 and in group C was 0.35 ± 0.46 (p = 0.010). On the seventh day, the breaking strength in group E was 11.44 ± 5.07, in group C 11.66 ± 7.38 (p = 1.000). The E7 group showed lower inflammatory infiltration, foreign body reaction, fibrin than control.
Conclusion: animals treated with metoclopramide had a higher resistance of the abdominal wall on the 3rd postoperative day.

Division of Gastrointestinal and Minimally Invasive Surgery, Department of Surgery, Carolinas Medical Center, 1025 Morehead Medical Drive Suite 300, Charlotte, NC, 28204, USA.
Purpose: To present updated outcomes after previously describing a novel technique for the robotic repair of parastomal hernias.
Methods: Patients who underwent parastomal hernia repair with a robotic Sugarbaker technique at a tertiary hernia center were identified from an institutional database. The approach involves mesh placement in the intraperitoneal or preperitoneal position after closure of the fascial defect.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a group of rare genetic disorders most commonly caused by reduced amount of biologically normal collagen type I, a structural component of the gastrointestinal tract and abdominal wall. The risk of gastrointestinal (GI) disease in individuals with OI is not well understood, despite GI complaints being frequently reported by the OI population. To investigate the risk of GI diseases in individuals with OI.

alpha toxin (CPA) is an important enterotoxemic pathogen linked to gastrointestinal disorders and previously associated with pulmonary disease in other mammals. A young female neotropical otter presented with lethargy, anorexia and steatorrhea, which developed within 24 hours. Veterinary care was provided under anesthesia, during which dehydration, intestinal hypermotility and pulmonary crackling sounds were identified.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of slope parameter images (SPI) from dual-phase dual-energy CT enterography (DE-CTE) for diagnosing and assessing Crohn's disease (CD) activity.
- Researchers analyzed data from 76 CD patients and 53 controls, finding significant differences in dual-phase SP and HU values between groups, indicating higher values in affected individuals.
- The findings suggest that the AP SP of mesenteric fat shows the highest diagnostic potential for CD, emphasizing the usefulness of SPI in both diagnosis and assessing inflammation levels.
