Aim: To develop medical algorithms for reduction of morbidity and mortality in rare forms of mechanical intestinal obstruction.
Material And Methods: 17 patients with mechanical intestinal obstruction have been operated in Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Care for the period 2010 - 2016. There were 13 women and 4 men aged 56 (44,5-74,5) years on the average. Phytobezoar was detected in 7 patients (41.2%), tumor in 7 patients (41.2%) and gallstone ileus in 3 patients (17.6%).
Results: There were no complications in group 1. In group 2 postoperative complications occurred in 3 patients: gastrocnemius vein thrombosis followed by successful medication (Clavien-Dindo type II), abdominal abscess drained under ultrasonic control (Clavien-Dindo type IIIa) and 1 (8.3%) death (Clavien-Dindo type V). Postoperative mortality in group 2 was 8.3%.
Conclusion: Despite small sample size and no statistically reliable results the advantages of minimally invasive access are obvious. However, further trials are required to ensure the reliability of the results.

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.

An increase in plastic waste and its release into the environment has led to health concerns over microplastics (MPs) in the environment. The intestinal mucosal layer is a key defense mechanism against ingested MPs, preventing the migration of particles to other parts of the body. MP migration through intestinal mucus is challenging to study due to difficulties in obtaining intact mucus layers for testing and numerous formulations, shapes, and sizes of microplastics.

Background: A systematic appraisal of the comparative efficacy and safety profiles of naso-intestinal tube versus gastric tube feeding in the context of enteral nutrition for mechanically ventilated (MV) patients is imperative. Such an evaluation is essential to inform clinical practice, ensuring that the chosen method of nutritional support is both optimal and safe for this patient population.

Purpose: Perioperative metabolic acidosis negatively affects patient outcomes. Perioperative fluid therapy has a clinically significant effect on acid-base balance. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of isotonic sodium bicarbonate infusion (ISB) versus balanced crystalloid solution (BCS) on perioperative acid-base balance, in terms of postoperative base excess, among patients undergoing emergency laparotomy for perforation peritonitis.

Cisplatin, a chemotherapeutic drug, is known for causing gastrointestinal disorders and neuropathic pain, but its impact on visceral sensitivity is unclear. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) has been shown to improve gastrointestinal dysmotility and neuropathic pain induced by cisplatin in rats. This study aimed to determine if repeated cisplatin treatment alters visceral sensitivity and whether dietary MSG can prevent these changes.
