Gastro Intestinal Tract

Colic is defined as pain originated from the gastro-intestinal tract. It causes the most serious condition in horses and donkeys, which result in severe abdominal pain and discomfort (Radostits et al., 2007). It occurs in all animals, but it is most common in equines due to anatomical configurations. Equines are monogastric animals with hindgut fermenters in which digestion of fiber takes place physiologically in cecum and colon, and it provides major energy source. One of the most important key factors of colic is retropulsive peristalsis of ingesta in large intestine close to the narrow pelvic flexure causing impaction (Argenzio, 1975). The clinical symptoms in donkeys are less marked as compared to the horses. Dullness is the most important clinical symptom observed in colic, but other symptoms observed are rare as compared to horses, like laying down, pawing, sweating, rolling on the ground etc (Donkey sanctuary, 2014). Diagnosis of colic is multidimensional (Temesgen and Fasika, 2018) and it is treated medically and surgically as early as possible to get rid from severe pain. This paper reports a rare case of colic and its medical management in a donkey.

Abstract Background A sigmoid volvulus occurs when a segment of the colon twists upon its mesentery. This infliction is associated with old age, multiple co-morbidities, and the male sex. We present a rare case of sigmoid volvulus that occurred in a healthy young female. Case presentation A 28-year-old female presented with a one week history of constipation and abdominal pain. Her symptoms suddenly worsened and became associated with vomiting and severe pain. A focused history taking and physical examination showed peritoneal signs that led to timely diagnostic imaging to be implemented. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen was consistent with sigmoid volvulus. Our patient underwent emergent laparotomy with a sigmoidectomy and recovered with no post-operative complications. Conclusion This case report emphasizes the importance of clinicians maintaining a sigmoid volvulus as a rare, yet important differential when approaching abdominal pain in young healthy patients.

We report the case of a 48 year old man who attended the Accident and Emergency Department after smuggling a large number of pellets of cannabis resin in his gastro-intestinal tract. Five days after ingesting the pellets, which were wrapped in portions of rubber condom, he developed abdominal pain and proctitis. He continued to exhibit a pyrexia even after the removal of the majority of the pellets, and was investigated for pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO). The importance of obtaining a good history from sick travellers, and the need for thorough physical examination, are emphasized.

Metastases from bladder transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) to the testis are very rare. These are usually found on autopsy and occur in advanced or metastatic bladder cancers. More common, known primary tumors that metastasize to the testis include prostate, lungs, melanoma, gastro-intestinal tract and the kidney. We report a rare case of solitary and synchronous metastatic TCC of the bladder to the testis, discovered on histological examination. This case illustrates that metastatic neoplasm to uncommon sites should be considered in the differential diagnosis for patients with a history of advanced bladder TCC.

Karshya (emaciation) is an Apatarpanjanya Vyadhi and Rasa-pradoshaja vyadhi.  It is the most large spreading health and nutritional disorder in developing countries. Karshya means person having lean and thin body character but doesn’t have any more complaints. Charaka has well explained clinical symptoms of Karshya as well he has explained causative factors in detail, viz., Aharaja (dietary), Viharaja (behavioural), and Manasika (Psychological). These all causes do aggravation of Vayu, alteration of Agni, insufficient production of Rasa dhatu along with other Dhatus which leads to Karshya. If the emaciated person is not treated properly then he/she gets suffered from spleen enlargement, cough, wasting, dyspnoea, Gulma, piles, abdominal disease, and the disease of gastro-intestinal tract. Karshya is better than sthaulya (obesity), a statement given by Charaka. Avoiding causative factors is Chikitsa. As well Charaka is well known clinician; hence to refer Charaka Samhita priory is essential. If causative factors are well known to affected people and reduced or avoided completely, it is useful to eradicate Karshya (emaciation) from society. Hence an attempt is made to review causative factors of Karshya from Charaka Samhita.

Adult intussusception is a rare disease, found 5% of all cases of intussusceptions and almost 1%-5% of bowel obstruction. In adults, intussusception is typically due to a pathologic lead point within the bowel, which is malignant in over 50% of cases. Inflammatory fibroid polyp (also known as Vanek' stumour) is an uncommon, non-neoplastic proliferating lesion which can develop in various parts of the gastro-intestinal tract but most commonly in the gastric antrum and the ileum. Here we present a case of 35 years old lady with symptoms intermittent lower abdominal pain. USG of abdomen revealed as right adnexal complex cyst with thicken gut wall. She was underwent laparotomy and found ileo-ileal intussusception but no adnexal pathology. Segmental resection done where histopathology reported as loops of intussusception containing inflammatory fibroid polyp. KYAMC Journal Vol. 9, No.-4, January 2019, Page 190-193

Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of lung is not one of the commoner varieties of neoplasia found in the lungs. There are around 100 cases in literature which suggest the metastasis of various kinds of lung carcinomas to gastro intestinal tract (GIT). Metastasis of large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma to small bowel is rare. This is a rare case in which the primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of lung presented with metastasis and perforation of small bowel.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ajms.v4i2.5370Asian Journal of Medical Sciences 4(2013) 47-50

Selection Of

The small bowel tumor diagnosis is often late, in the course of this affection, which is explained by the low number of tumors and crude symptomatology (abdominal pain, wight loss, queasiness, vomit, ocult bleeding of gastro-intestinal tract). There is no unique investigation method of the small bowel for patient suspect of SMT. Choices are either X-ray (CT-scan, enteroclysis etc.) or endoscopic (upper endoscopy, wireless video endoscopy etc.). It has not been decided upon the best strategy or the series of investigations. The patient usually requires full imagistic explorations; laparotomy being sometimes useful in the selection of a positive diagnosis.

Obturator hernias are rare but pose a diagnostic challenge with relatively high morbidity and mortality. Our patient is an elderly, thin female with an initial evaluation concerning for gastroenteritis, and further evaluation revealed bilateral incarcerated obturator hernias, which confirmed postoperatively as well as a right femoral hernia. An 83-year-old female presented to the outpatient office initially with one-day history of diarrhea and one-week history of episodic colicky abdominal pain. She returned 4 weeks later with diarrhea resolved but worsening abdominal pain and left inner thigh pain while ambulating, without changes in appetite or nausea and vomiting. Abdominal CT scan then revealed bilateral obturator hernias. Patient then presented to the emergency department (ED) due to worsening pain, and subsequently underwent hernia repair. Intraoperatively, it was revealed that the patient had bilateral incarcerated obturator hernias and a right femoral hernia. All three hernias were repaired, and patient was discharged two days later. Patient remained well postoperatively, and 15-month CT of abdomen showed no hernia recurrence.
