Article Abstract

The vagus nerve is responsible for efferent innervation and functional control of stomach functions. The efferent fibers originate from neurons located in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMX) and undergo functional control of the local neuroregulatory terminals. The aim of the present study was to examine the existence of morphological foundations for direct regulatory action of the local TH-immunoreactive neurons on parasympathetic efferent neurons supplying the prepyloric region of the porcine stomach. Combined injection of neuronal retrograde tracer Fast Blue into the stomach prepyloric region with TH immunostaining was used in order to visualize spatial relationship between DMX-located stomach prepyloric region supplying neuronal stomata and local TH-IR terminals. We confirmed existence of TH-immunoreactive neural terminals closely opposing the stomach prepyloric region innervating neurons at the porcine DMX area. The observed spatial relationship points out the possibility of indirect catecholaminergic control of the stomach function exerted through preganglionic parasympathetic efferent neurons in the pig.

Article Synopsis
  • - Inflammatory fibroid polyps (IFPs) are uncommon lesions found in the stomach, making up just 0.1% of gastric polyps, and often show no symptoms.
  • - When symptoms do occur, they can include abdominal pain and gastrointestinal bleeding, particularly if the polyp becomes ulcerated.
  • - A case study is presented involving a 72-year-old woman with a 35mm IFP in the prepyloric region, which was discovered after she experienced upper gastrointestinal bleeding and epigastric pain, leading to an endoscopic resection.

Unlabelled: Gastritis cystica profunda (GCP) is a rare lesion of the stomach. It is characterised by hyperplasia and cystic dilation of the gastric gland in the submucosal layer. It is usually believed to occur at the site of previous gastric surgeries, as the anastomotic remnants act as a foundation for the development of the lesion.

Introduction: Plexiform fibromyxoma (PF) is a rare benign mesenchymal neoplasm of stomach recognized by the WHO. The tumor often arises in the antrum and pyloric region of the stomach. Morphologically, PF tumors display bland spindle cells in myxoid or fibromyxoid stroma and can be misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST).

Continued enteral nutrition until extubation compared with fasting before extubation in patients in the intensive care unit: an open-label, cluster-randomised, parallel-group, non-inferiority trial.

Background: Fasting is frequently imposed before extubation in patients in intensive care units, with the aim to reduce risk of aspiration. This unevaluated practice might delay extubation, increase workload, and reduce caloric intake. We aimed to compare continued enteral nutrition until extubation with fasting before extubation in patients in the intensive care unit.
