Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is one of the most common causes of serious gastrointestinal disease in the US. Adhesion-related SBO (aSBO) is usually treated by the placement of a nasogastric tube (NGT) to decompress the stomach, administration of intravenous (IV) fluids and observation by a surgical team.
The purpose of this feasibility study is to determine the potential for implementation of treatment protocols for aSBO and determine the feasibility of randomizing patients with aSBO to receive or not receive NGTs or water-soluble contrast (WSC). The investigators will also determine the ability to measure HRQOL as a main outcome for the treatment of aSBO. The studies outlined in this research program intend to address gaps in knowledge about how to determine who benefits from NGT placement, who can be managed without them, how to objectively determine when a bowel obstruction has resolved, how to reintroduce feeding to patients with aSBO, what criteria should be used for hospital discharge and what role cathartics such as WSC contrast have in the management of aSBO.
This feasibility study will enroll a limited number of patients (n=40) who will be followed for up to 30 days.

Complicated meconium ileus in a male neonate with cystic fibrosis: Case report

Article

Author: Abilkassem, Rachid ; Agadr, Aomar ; Sellouti, Mohamed

In about 10%-15% of instances, meconium ileus (MI) is the first sign of cystic fibrosis (CF). If a newborn exhibits signs of intestinal obstruction and does not pass meconium within a short period of time after birth, MI is suspected. The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene (CFTR), which is found on chromosome 7q31, is mutated in CF patients. A premature baby, 5 days old, with clinical signs that were typical of MI. These attempts failed in spite of conservative therapies, such as rectal injection of gastrografin. An ileostomy was made and meconium was manually evacuated after an exploratory laparotomy revealed the presence of a typical MI. At ≥1300 µg/L (reference value ≤1000 µg/L), immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT) levels were increased, which prompted the start of oral pancreatic enzyme replacement treatment. Discharge at 65 days of age included referrals to primary care and a specialized CF clinic. The baby has since shown normal growth and development. This case highlights the rapid onset of CF in a premature infant with complex MI as the initial clinical presentation.

“The Itsy-Bitsy Water Bead Went Down the Baby's Mouth. Will Drinking Gastrografin Help to Flush It Out?”

INTRODUCTIONForeign body ingestion is a common occurrence in the pediatric population. Superabsorbent polymers (i.e., water beads [WB]), such as Orbeez, are brightly colored spheres, can expand up to 100x their original size and are marketed as toys for kids. Ingested WB may lead to a bowel obstruction and typically require surgical removal.METHODSFully expanded WBs (N = 15) were placed into 1 of the 3 solutions: water (N = 5), gastrografin (N = 5), or 1:1 mixture of gg and water (N = 5), with serial diameter measurements obtained at 1, 4, 8, and 24 h. Additionally, fully expanded WBs were placed into succus containing post mortem porcine small bowel and mixed with gastrografin (N = 10) or nothing (N = 10), with diameters measured prior to placement and at 4 h.RESULTSAt all time points, the mean WB diameter of the gastrografin arm was significantly smaller than the other two arms (P < 0.01). WBs submerged in gastrografin saw a 58% reduction in diameter at 4 h compared to 45% reduction in the 1:1 mixture and a 2% growth in water (P < 0.01). When placed into small bowel containing gastrografin, the mean WB diameter decreased by 47% at 4 h versus 37% in the control arm (P < 0.01).CONCLUSIONSGastrografin significantly reduced the size of WB in both the in-vitro and ex-vivo post mortem animal study; and it may offer a nonsurgical option for the management of water bead ingestion. Studies assessing the clinical efficacy of a gastrografin nonoperative management strategy are needed.

Successful Gastrografin Vermifugation for <i>Taenia saginata</i>-associated Appendicitis

Article

Author: Umekawa, Yasuhiro ; Kobayashi, Keigo

In Japan, public health improvements have lessened parasitic infections, but increased global travel has introduced new disease risks. We report the case a Japanese man who had previously resided in Vietnam, who experienced appendicitis and the presence of segments in his stool. Gastrografin led to the expulsion of Taenia saginata, as confirmed by scolex identification. Remarkably, the appendicitis symptoms subsided after deworming. This case underscores the importance of considering cestode infections in the differential diagnosis of appendicitis, particularly for patients with relevant travel histories, and highlights the evolving challenges in global health and the significance of acquiring detailed patient histories.
