The effect of ingredients in dry dog foods on the risk of gastric dilatation-volvulus in dogs.

Using dry dog food label information, the hypothesis was tested that the risk of gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV) increases with an increasing number of soy and cereal ingredients and a decreasing number of animal-protein ingredients among the first four ingredients. A nested case-control study was conducted with 85 GDV cases and 194 controls consuming a single brand and variety of dry food. Neither an increasing number of animal-protein ingredients (P=0.79) nor an increasing number of soy and cereal ingredients (P=0.83) among the first four ingredients significantly influenced GDV risk. An unexpected finding was that dry foods containing an oil or fat ingredient (e.g., sunflower oil, animal fat) among the first four ingredients were associated with a significant (P=0.01), 2.4-fold increased risk of GDV. These findings suggest that the feeding of dry dog foods that list oils or fats among the first four label ingredients predispose a high-risk dog to GDV.

[Heterotopia of the gastric fundus wall in bilobate gallbladder associated with dilatation of the main bile duct. Description of a case].

On the basis of a recent case of fundic gastric heterotopia in the gallbladder, the principal, possible embryogenetic hypotheses of the malformation are described and discussed. The possibility that acid secretion of the gastric glands contained in the ectopic fundic mucosa determined part of the symptomatological and clinical picture accompanying signs of lithiasic cholecystopathy is also evaluated.

[Segmental portal hypertension caused by splenic vein thrombosis].

Seventeen cases of segmental portal hypertension due to splenic vein thrombosis are reported. This syndrome may be asymptomatic for a long time and then present suddenly in the form of a serious picture of high digestive haemorrhage due to rupture of gastric fundus varices as a result of hypertrophied submucous collateral drainage circulation. Useful for diagnosis are oesophagogastroduodenoscopy, which points to stomach varices, and splenoportography or splenic artery angiography with venous phase, which highlight pathognomonic dilatation and tortuosity of the gastroepiploic veins. Surgical exploration typically shows: presence of large epiploic vessels, splenomegaly, absence of changes in the liver and in the portal and mesenteric circulation. Curative treatment of choice is splenectomy.

Anastomotic narrowing after esophagogastrectomy with the EEA stapling device.

We studied a series of 176 patients undergoing esophageal resection with the aid of the EEA surgical stapling device (Auto Suture U.K. Limited, Great Britain) during a period of 7 1/2 years. A total of 160 patients (91%) were operated on for malignant disease. Operative death occurred in 15 patients (8.5%), and there were three anastomotic leaks (1.7%). The prevalence of dysphagia caused by both benign and malignant strictures after esophageal resection in which the EEA stapler was used was 17.4%. The rate of benign anastomotic narrowing in discharged patients was 12.5%. Anastomotic stricture resulting from recurrent tumor caused dysphagia in 6.2% of the patients undergoing resection for malignant disease. The highest rate of benign anastomotic narrowing occurred in patients who had undergone esophageal resection for benign, nondilatable strictures. In these patients, the prevalence of benign anastomotic narrowing was 37.5%, compared with 9.6% in the patients undergoing resection for malignant disease (p less than 0.001). An additional trend was noted: The smaller the stapling head used to construct the anastomosis, the higher the prevalence of benign anastomotic narrowing; however, a statistically significant difference could not be documented. Ninety-five percent of patients with benign anastomotic narrowings complained of dysphagia within the first 6 months after the operation; 79% of these patients required two or fewer dilatations to relieve the dysphagia. Dysphagia after esophageal resection with the aid of EEA stapler occurred in just over one of six patients. The usual cause of the dysphagia was benign anastomotic narrowing, which responds well to dilatation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Endoscopic balloon dilation of outlet stenosis after gastric bypass.

Eighteen of 22 patients with stenotic gastrojejunostomies following gastric bypass surgery were successfully corrected by endoscopically placing a guidewire through the narrowed outlet and then passing a dilating balloon catheter over the wire. No complications occurred. All procedures were done without general anesthesia, and 64 per cent were done without hospitalization. This procedure can spare patients prolonged hospitalization for nasogastric decompression or reoperation, the two standard approaches to this problem. Successful use of this technique to dilate obstructed gastric partitions and distal esophageal strictures suggests that it may be considered for any gastrointestinal stenosis within reach of the endoscope.

[Gastric necrosis caused by acute gastric dilatation. Total gastrectomy. Recovery].

Acute gastric dilatation, a rare affection, has multiple origins. An episode of bulimia following a fast in relation to an anorexia nervosa is one of the classical causes of its onset. Diagnosis is by radiology and should be made urgently before instituting medical treatment combining aspiration and effective intensive care measures. Recovery is the general rule. The formation of an infarct and gastric perforation are complications of delayed diagnosis and are of extreme gravity, leading to a fatal outcome in more than 80% of cases. In the case reported, recovery was obtained by emergency total gastrectomy for global gastric infarction. Perioperative fibroscopy is the essential key to the choice between temporary esophageal exclusion or immediate re-establishment of digestive continuity.
