Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disease and is an autoimmune disorder. Due to its remission and relapse cycle, the integrity of the intestinal wall becomes compromised in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. This increases susceptibility to bowel perforation following mechanical injury, especially in patients using immunosuppressive therapy. However, few reports discuss the severity of injury after abdominal trauma in Crohn's patients and how much mild abdominal blunt trauma in such patients can be different in the presentation clinically in correlation with the severity of the intraoperative findings. We report a case of ascending colon perforation secondary to mild abdominal blunt trauma in a patient with CD.

Diagnosis of traumatic liver injury on computed tomography using machine learning algorithms and radiomics features: The role of artificial intelligence for rapid diagnosis in emergency rooms.
J Res Med Sci
December 2024
Department of Biostatistics, Student Research Committee, University of Medical Sciences, Kermanshah, Iran.
Background: The initial assessment of trauma is a time-consuming and challenging task. The purpose of this research is to examine the diagnostic effectiveness and usefulness of machine learning models paired with radiomics features to identify blunt traumatic liver injury in abdominal computed tomography (CT) images.
Materials And Methods: In this study, 600 CT scan images of people with mild and severe liver damage due to trauma and healthy people were collected from the Kaggle dataset.
Adnexal torsion in middle childhood: a rare cause of abdominal pain.
BMJ Case Rep

Pediatría, Hospital Universitario de Móstoles, Mostoles, Madrid, Spain.
Adnexal torsion is a rare cause of abdominal pain in middle childhood and, in general, the diagnosis is often delayed due to the lack of specificity of symptoms and imaging tests. We describe the case of a girl in middle childhood who came to the emergency department for pain in the right iliac fossa of approximately 15 hours of evolution associated with partial refusal of food intake and vomiting. The initial examination showed normal vital signs, a soft abdomen, pain on palpation in the lower region, but no signs of peritoneal irritation, a mild leucocytosis with no other signs of infection and the initial abdominal ultrasound showed no objective pathology.

Background: Nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI), a subtype of acute mesenteric ischemia, is primarily caused by mesenteric arterial vasoconstriction and decreased vascular resistance, leading to impaired intestinal perfusion.Commonly observed after cardiac surgery, NOMI affects older patients with cardiovascular or systemic diseases, accounting for 20-30% of acute mesenteric ischemia cases with a mortality rate of ∼50%. This review explores NOMI's pathophysiology, clinical implications in aortic dissection, and the unmet needs in diagnosis and management, emphasizing its prognostic significance.

Incisional ventral hernia repair remains a challenging surgery for abdominal wall surgeons. We report the results at 48 months post-surgery regarding open ventral hernia repair (OVHR), analyzing the recurrence rate and incidence of chronic pain. This was a retrospective, observational study of 111 consecutive patients who underwent OVHR.
