Twisted Troubles: A Rare Case of Intestinal Obstruction Due to Endometriosis and a Review of the Literature.
Clin Pract
September 2024
Department of General Surgery, "Sf. Apostol Andrei" Emergency County Hospital, 145 Tomis Blvd., 900591 Constanta, Romania.
Article Synopsis
- Intestinal endometriosis is a rare but significant cause of intestinal obstruction, and this case report emphasizes the challenges in diagnosis and management associated with the condition.
- A 50-year-old woman experiencing severe abdominal pain and symptoms of blockage underwent diagnostic imaging, which revealed small bowel dilation and an ileal volvulus, ultimately leading to surgical intervention.
- Post-surgery, the patient's recovery was gradual, with a later successful reversal of an ileostomy, highlighting the need for awareness of intestinal endometriosis in women with gastrointestinal symptoms and the importance of prompt surgical management.

Long-term administration of exogenous estrogen is known to cause urinary retention and marked, often fatal, bladder distention in both male and female mice. Estrogen-treated mice have increased bladder pressure and decreased urine flow, suggesting that urinary retention in estrogen-treated mice is due to infravesicular obstruction to urine outflow. Thus, the condition is commonly referred to as bladder outlet obstruction (BOO).

Objectives: The present study explored the effects of different frequencies of noninvasive median nerve stimulation (nMNS) on two autonomic responses: gastric slow waves under water-loading condition and heart rate variability (HRV). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to document the effects of different frequencies of nMNS on gastric slow waves (GSW) in humans under 5-minute water-loading condition.
Materials And Methods: Twenty healthy adult participants were fitted with a noninvasive body-surface gastric mapping, electrocardiogram (ECG), and a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation device and administered with four different nMNS frequencies (placebo-0 Hz, 40 Hz, 120 Hz, and 200 Hz) on four separate counterbalanced days.
Intraprocedure Artificial Intelligence Alert System for Colonoscopy Examination.

Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taoyuan 333, Taiwan.
Colonoscopy is a valuable tool for preventing and reducing the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer. Although several computer-aided colorectal polyp detection and diagnosis systems have been proposed for clinical application, many remain susceptible to interference problems, including low image clarity, unevenness, and low accuracy for the analysis of dynamic images; these drawbacks affect the robustness and practicality of these systems. This study proposed an intraprocedure alert system for colonoscopy examination developed on the basis of deep learning.

Snyder Institute for Chronic Diseases, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
The enteric nervous system (ENS) regulates the motor, secretory and defensive functions of the gastrointestinal tract. Enteric neurons integrate mechanical and chemical inputs from the gut lumen to generate complex motor outputs. How intact enteric neural circuits respond to changes in the gut lumen is not well understood.
