Department of Psychiatry, Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York, NY, USA.
Preclinical data suggest that gestational exposure to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) alter gut innervation, and delays colonic motility. In this study we investigated associations between gestational SSRI exposure and offspring disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI). Using population-based registries, we included all single-birth Danish children born 1997-2015 with follow-up until outcome occurrence, age 15 years, death, emigration, or December 2018.

Three Surgical Cases of Cecal Volvulus.
Cureus
October 2024
Department of Coloproctological Surgery, Juntendo University, Tokyo, JPN.
Cecal volvulus (CV) is a relatively rare disease; however, it often requires emergency surgery due to the low success rate of endoscopic treatment, in contrast to sigmoid volvulus. The mechanism of CV involves a mobile cecum at the base, triggered by factors such as constipation, high-fiber diets, laxative use, history of laparotomy or laparoscopic surgery, pregnancy, and prior colonoscopy, which twists the ileocecal region. Although CV is a benign disease, it can be fatal if treatment is delayed, so it is crucial to understand the pathophysiology and treatment.
