Recurrent Phytobezoar Presenting with Small Bowel Obstruction *Corresponding author: Louise Dunphy, Department of Surgery, Wexham Park Hospital, Slough, UK, E-mail: Louise.Dunphy@doctors.org.uk Citation: Louise Dunphy, Syed Hussain Abbas and Stephen Baxter, et al. Recurrent Phytobezoar Presenting with Small Bowel Obstruction. Clin Image Case Rep J. 2019; 1(1): 105. Abstract  Small bowel obstruction is a common presentation to the emergency department, with causes including adhesions, hernia, malignancy, volvulus or complications of inflammatory bowel disease such as a stricture in Crohn’s disease. Indeed, it accounts for 20% of hospital admissions annually. Phytobezoars are a concentration of poorly digested fruit such as orange pith or pulp and vegetable fibres found in the alimentary tract in patients with a history of previous surgery or persimmon in patients without [1]. Small bowel phytobezoars are rare and are almost always obstructive. They pose a diagnostic a...

Polyembolokoilamania: Foreign Body Insertion in the Abdomen and theRectum *Corresponding author: Louise Dunphy, Department of Surgery, Wexham Park Hospital, Slough, UK, E-mail: louise.dunphy@doctors.org.uk Citation: Louise Dunphy, Syed Hussain Abbas, Stephen Baxter, et al. Polyembolokoilamania: Foreign Body Insertion in the Abdomen and the Rectum. Clin Image Case Rep J. 2019; 1(1): 104. Abstract  Bharath stated that the introduction of foreign bodies into one’s own body is one of the uncommon types of self-mutilation. There is a relative dearth of literature discussing its predisposing factors, complications and management. Children commonly swallow foreign bodies, most of these are accidental ingestion. In adolescents, intentional foreign body insertion often reflects risk taking behaviour. Adults may suffer from co-morbid psychiatric disease, harbour lingering curiosities that manifest as experimentation or as auto-eroticism. While psychiatric causes have been hypot...

Endovascular Management of a Gastric Artery Aneurysm Rupture *Corresponding author: Louise Dunphy, Department of Surgery, Wexham Park Hospital, Slough, UK, E-mail: Louise.Dunphy@doctors.org.uk Citation: Louise Dunphy, Syed Hussain Abbas, Gisella Salerno, et al. Endovascular Management of a Gastric Artery Aneurysm Rupture. Clin Image Case Rep J. 2019; 2(1): 106. Abstract  Visceral artery pseudoaneurysms or aneurysms (VAPA) can form secondary to a variety of congenital, traumatic and inflammatory pathologies such as pancreatitis. Massive haemorrhage into the gastrointestinal tract or the peritoneal cavity from visceral artery pseudoaneurysms or aneurysms can result in death in 40% of cases. Gastroduodenal artery aneurysm (GDA) rupture is a rare, life-threatening condition and bleeding into the gastro-intestinal tract is the most rapidly fatal complication of an arterial visceral aneurysm. They represent 1.5% of all visceral artery aneurysms and are classified into t...

Aggregation Function of Basic Formed Blood Elements in Patients withArterial Hypertension with Dyslipidemia, Refused of Hypolipidemic Treatment *Corresponding author: Medvedev IN, Russian State Social University, st. V. Pika, 4, Moscow, Russia, Tel: +79102732263; E-mail: ilmedv1@yandex.ru Citation: Skorjatina IA, Medvedev IN, et al. Aggregation Function of Basic Formed Blood Elements in Patients with Arterial Hypertension with Dyslipidemia, Refused of Hypolipidemic Treatment. Clin Image Case Rep J. 2019; 1(1): 103.  Abstract Objective: To consider the dynamics of the aggregation properties of blood cells in patients with arterial hypertension with dyslipidemia, who consciously refused lipid-lowering treatment. Under observation were 34 patients with arterial hypertension of 1-2 degrees, risk 3 and dyslipidemia type IIb, middle age. The control group is represented by 26 healthy volunteers of a similar age. All patients were informed about the need for lipid-lowering ...
