TY - JOUR. T1 - Waardenburg syndrome type IV De Novo SOX10 variant causing chronic intestinal Pseudo-Obstruction. AU - Hogan, Anthony R.. AU - Rao, Krishnamurti A.. AU - Thorson, Willa L.. AU - Neville, Holly L.. AU - Sola, Juan E.. AU - Perez, Eduardo A.. PY - 2019/1/1. Y1 - 2019/1/1. N2 - Waardenburg syndrome (WS) type IV is characterized by pigmentary abnormalities, deafness and Hirschsprungs disease. This syndrome can be triggered by dysregulation of the SOX10 gene, which belongs to the SOX (SRY-related high-mobility group-box) family of genes. We discuss the first known case of a SOX10 frameshift mutation variant defined as c.895delC causing WS type IV without Hirschsprungs disease. This female patient of unrelated Kuwaiti parents, who tested negative for cystic fibrosis and Hirschsprungs disease, was born with meconium ileus and malrotation and had multiple surgical complications likely due to chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction. These complications included small intestinal necrosis ...

This cross sectional study has characterised the spectrum of clinical, pathological, and prognostic features of the syndrome of CIIP in adults attending a tertiary referral hospital. It was designed to give an overview of the condition which case reports cannot do, because of their focus on individual patients and their inherent bias in reporting unusual features. It demonstrates that in a specialised centre, using our diagnostic criteria, most patients have a visceral myopathy, with a prolonged but disabling course.. The condition of CIIP is rare. We do not believe that our patients are completely typical of affected patients in the community. However only a limited number of tertiary referral centres are likely to manage enough patients with this condition to enable a report such as this to be composed. Some patients will have a relatively benign course with limited symptoms and no need for nutritional supplementation, as occurred in some of the relatives of patient 14. Although this family ...

Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is an extremely rare condition with symptoms of recurrent intestinal obstruction without any lesions. The outcomes of pediatric CIPO and predictors for the outcomes have not yet been well established. We analyzed the clinical outcomes and associated factors for the outcomes of pediatric CIPO. We retrospectively reviewed 66 primary CIPO patients diagnosed between January 1985 and December 2017. We evaluated parenteral nutrition (PN) factors such as PN duration, PN use over 6 months, home PN, and mortality as outcomes. We selected onset age, presence of urologic symptoms, pathologic type, and involvement extent as predictors. The early-onset CIPO was found in 63.6%, and 21.2% of the patients presenting with urologic symptoms. Of the 66 patients, 47 and 11 had neuropathy and myopathy, respectively. The generalized involvement type accounted for 83.3% of the cases. At the last follow-up, 24.2% of the patients required home PN management. The mean duration of PN

In some individuals with primary intestinal pseudo-obstruction, the condition is caused by mutations in the FLNA gene. This gene provides instructions for producing the protein filamin A, which helps build the network of protein filaments (cytoskeleton) that gives structure to cells and allows them to change shape and move. Filamin A attaches (binds) to another protein called actin and helps it form the branching network of filaments that make up the cytoskeleton.. Some individuals with primary intestinal pseudo-obstruction have FLNA gene mutations that result in an abnormally short filamin A protein. Others have duplications or deletions of genetic material in the FLNA gene. Researchers believe that these genetic changes may impair the function of the filamin A protein, causing abnormalities in the cytoskeleton of nerve cells (neurons) in the gastrointestinal tract. These abnormalities interfere with the nerves ability to produce the coordinated waves of muscle contractions (peristalsis) that ...

CIIPS in children has been reported under a variety of names; megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome, intestinal pseudo-obstruction, chronic adynamic ileus, pseudo-Hirschsprungs disease, adynamic bowel syndrome, colonic neuronal dysplasia, and hollow visceral myopathy.17-25 It is the result of a heterogeneous group of disorders of the enteric neuromusculature that cause severe intestinal dysmotility, resulting in functional obstruction.26-30 Analysis of published studies has shown that most patients develop symptoms early in life.31 In this series, 32 of 44 children developed symptoms during the 1st year of life. At birth they may present with obstruction of either the gut or urinary tract, or both. A persistent bilious aspirate can indicate an associated midgut malrotation. Later, the main presentation is with chronic constipation and/or abdominal distension associated with obstruction and episodic vomiting, which may be bile stained. Previous studies have either been of ...

Discussion Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is a rare, severe syndrome with impaired gastro-intestinal motility leading to functional obstruction resembling mechanical obstruction. It usually affects elderly people with underlying co-morbidities, and early recognition and appropriate management are essential to reduce life-threatening complications.1 The condition may be idiopathic or secondary to other conditions. Most cases are sporadic. Familial forms with either dominant or recessive autosomal inheritance have been described. Histologically, it is classified into neuropathies, mesenchymopathies and myopathies, according to the predominant involvement of enteric neurons, interstitial cells of Cajal or smooth-muscle cells, respectively.2 Hollow visceral myopathy (HVM) is a myopathic cause of CIPO. HVM is a rare clinical entity characterised by impaired intestinal function and motility secondary to a smooth-muscle defect.3,4 Familial visceral myopathy is the most common type, with ...

The main treatment is nutritional support to prevent malnutrition and antibiotics to treat bacterial infections. Disorders that may coexist and worsen symptoms of pseudo-obstruction--such as gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying), gastroesophageal reflux, or bacterial overgrowth--need to be identified and treated.. The challenges of treating chronic pseudo-obstruction are often multifaceted and involve the patient and family as well as the physician. The physician may suggest a multidisciplinary approach to treatment. A management team might include the childs pediatric gastroenterologist, a pediatric pain management specialist, a behavioral specialist, and others.. Chronic abdominal pain or the fear of pain is a common complaint in children with chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction and may be treated with behavioral or relaxation therapy as well as with non-narcotic medicines.. Some children are able to benefit from small, frequent meals. Others are unable or unwilling to eat because of the ...

The term intestinal pseudo-obstruction denotes a syndrome characterized by a clinical picture suggestive of mechanical obstruction in the absence of any demonstrable evidence of such an obstruction in the intestine. On the basis of the clinical presentation, pseudo-obstruction syndromes can be divided into acute and chronic forms.

Pseudo-obstruction is a syndrome characterized by signs and symptoms of a mechanical obstruction of the small or large bowel in the absence of an anatomic lesion that obstructs the flow of intestinal contents. Pseudo-obstruction may be acute or chron

A clinicopathologic study was made of 16 patients with amyloidosis and with clinical signs of intestinal pseudo-obstruction. amyloid deposits in the small intestine were proved in all cases by endoscopic or intra-operative biopsies, and immunohistochemical study identified the chemical types of amyloid protein: amyloid A protein (AA) in 13 cases, light chain protein (AL) in two, and beta 2-microglobulin (AH) in one. Clinically, an acute self limiting obstructive condition was evident in 13 cases with AA, and 12 of them returned to normal bowel function after receiving total parenteral nutrition. Two cases with AL and one with AH presented chronic, intermittent, obstructive symptoms, and medical treatment, including total parenteral nutrition, was ineffective with no recovery of intestinal propulsion. Pathological examination of the necropsy specimens in seven cases showed considerable differences in the preferential sites of gastrointestinal deposits between the chemical types of amyloid; ...

A 2-year-old boy presented to our childrens hospital with a 5-day history of fever and 2 days prior to admission he progressively developed a maculopapular rash in thorax and genitals, had erythema and edema in palms and soles, bilateral conjunctival injection, swollen red lips, and a strawberry tongue. On the day of admission he developed a distended and painful abdomen, diarrhea, and vomiting. On examination he was febrile (39.8 C), heart rate was 180 beats/minute, met 5 major clinical diagnostic criteria for KD, and also presented a diffusely distended tender but soft abdomen, with no rebound sign. He received 1 dose of IVIG [2 g/Kg] and was started on acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) [100 mg/Kg/day]. Because of persistent abdominal distention and vomiting, a plain abdominal radiograph was performed which showed air fluid levels with diffuse small bowel loops distention, all of these consistent with an intestinal pseudoobstruction. An abdominal ultrasound revealed gallbladder hydrops, fluid-filled ...

Treatment. There is no specific treatment for individuals with CIP. Treatment is directed toward the specific symptoms that are apparent in each individual, and to support adequate nutritional needs. Treatment may require the coordinated efforts of a team of specialists. Pediatricians, pediatric gastroenterologists, surgeons, pain management specialists, psychologists, dietitians, and other healthcare professionals may need to systematically and comprehensively plan an affect individual's treatment.. The specific therapeutic procedures and interventions for individuals with CIP will vary, depending upon numerous factors including the specific symptoms present, the site and extent of the affected portion of the GI tract, an individual's age and overall health, tolerance of certain medications or procedures, personal preference and other factors. Decisions concerning the use of particular therapeutic interventions should be made by physicians and other members of the healthcare team in ...

Intestinal decompression by colonoscopy or tube placement in a small stoma can also be used to reduce distension and pressure within the gut. The stoma may a gastrostomy, enterostomy or cecostomy, and may also be used to feed or flush the intestines. Colostomy or ileostomy can bypass affected parts if they are distal to (come after) the stoma. For instance, if only the large colon that is affected, an ileostomy may be helpful. Resection of affected parts may be needed if part of the gut dies (for instance toxic megacolon), or if there is a localised area of dysmotility. Gastric and colonic pacemakers have been tried. These are strips placed along the colon which create an electric discharge intended to cause the muscle to contract in a controlled manor. There is also a transplant surgery that could be done. It includes taking out six organs which are the pancreas, stomach, small intestine, liver and duodenum. This surgery has only been performed once by Doctor Kareem Abu-Elmagd on Gretchen ...

Dr. Contreras responded: Labs and X-rays. First you have to make sure there arent any other causes of true obstruction. This is done with a combination of x-rays or scans, physical examination, review of the medical history, and laboratory tests. After other causes have been eliminated, then the patient is treated for pseudo-obstruction, also called ogilves syndrome.

Degenerative leiomyopathy (DL) is a distinctive form of acquired degenerative visceral myopathy of uncertain etiology that occurs largely in Africa and results in intestinal pseudo-obstruction (IP). In this review of 39 patients from the Western Cape region of South Africa, the mean age at presentation was 9.5 years (range 6 months to 16 years). Characteristic clinical features included a chronic, insidious history of repeated attacks of abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and vomiting. Marked gaseous distension with atony and IP, especially of the colon, was noted on X-ray films. Megacolon was the most common radiologic feature, but pseudo-obstruction extended proximally into the small intestine in some patients with advanced disease. In the majority of cases the condition was progressive and eventually affected the entire gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Histologic features included smooth-muscule degeneration with vacuolated cytoplasm, extracellular edema, and increased fibrosis of both ...

I am 24y old, f., from Germany. I have a long and complex medical history. I have been diagnosed with chronic intestinal pseudoobstruction (diffuse intestinal motility disorder). CIP causes constipation and/or diarrhea, abdominal pain/spasms, nausea, vomiting , inability to eat, malabsorbtion and several other symptoms. It is generally a progressing disease with no cure and limited treatment options. In my case it affects my small bowel, stomach and former colon and urinary bladder with varying degree of severity in these different parts. I have no colon any more and a permanent ileostomy. As I cant empty my bladder by my own I have a suprapubical catheter as well. I also have a Hickman catheter which I use no longer due to my high risk of sepsis and significantly decreased caloric needs. Within the last 6 months I have been experiencing new and fast progressing endocrine/metabolic issues which cannot be adequately explained by an adaption process or general effect secondary to a severe chronic ...

Temperatures on dry land hovered near 50 degrees this weekend, but according the National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office, Lake Michigans water temperature was a chilly 32 degrees. So if you thought the 15th annual Lakeview Polar Bear Club polar plunge was made easier by a relatively balmy day, youd be wrong. There was still plenty of shrinkage going on.. Organizers say Saturdays polar plunge drew over 300 participants and has raised over $24,000 so far for two local families.. All of the donations will go toward the Garcia family, whose son Dominic has Chronic Intestinal Pseudo-Obstruction (CIPO), and the Linblad family, whose son Nicholas is battling a congenital heart disease. Both families are burdened with mounting medical expenses, and the Lakeview Polar Club hopes to raise $32,000 to help ease some of the financial pressures both families are under.. The organization is still short of their hoped for goal and will be updating their website with news of further donations over ...

The role of ICC as intestinal pacemakers has been clearly established in experimental animal models, which have shown that a lack of ICC networks leads to the absence of slow waves and is accompanied by delayed or absent intestinal motility.27,28 In the upper gastrointestinal tract a lack or paucity of ICC has been found in diseases associated with gastric and small bowel motility (diabetic gastroparesis, chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction, etc).29,30 Data on human colonic ICC are still scarce, especially in pathological conditions, and chiefly limited to congenital diseases and slow transit constipation.15,16,31 We decided to study diverticular disease because it is a disorder with frequent and measurable alterations of colonic motility.7,8,32 We found that these patients consistently had a significant reduction of all subpopulations of ICC and of enteric glial cells, whereas the enteric neuronal population appeared to be normal. These alterations might explain the colonic motor ...

ABSTRACT. African degenerative leiomyopathy (ADL) is a rare incurable disorder seen in African children, predominantly in southern and south-eastern Africa. ADL presents as chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction. Management is traditionally conservative, with surgery restricted to the management of complications. We have placed Malone antegrade continence enema (MACE) stomas in the grossly dilated colon to vent accumulated gas and administer antegrade bowel enemas. This is done mainly for relief of gaseous distension and constipation in an attempt to provide symptomatic relief and improve quality of life. In this article, we present our preliminary results of laparoscopically assisted technique to insert a Mic-Key gastrostomy device as a button colostomy in 8 patients over the past 6½ years.. ...

Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is the gold standard treatment for chronic intestinal failure (CIF), when nutritional requirements are not accomplished by oral or enteral feeding. CIF results either from removal, and/or severe disease of the small intestine leading to short bowel syndrome (SBS), or when the gut is intact but cannot be used by enteral support even when accessed through gastrostomy or jejunostomy (e.g.: chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction or diseases involving extensive villous atrophy ...

Visceral myopathy is a rare disorder of smooth muscle dysfunction that manifests in a broad range of symptoms ranging from severe gastrointestinal and genitourinary dysfunction requiring surgical and nutritional interventions in newborns to mild gastrointestinal issues in adults. The wide spectrum of symptoms, some of which overlap with other common GI complaints, makes the diagnosis and clinical management of this disorder particularly challenging. An international research team led by Dr. Michael Wangler, assistant professor at Baylor College of Medicine, clinical geneticist and investigator at the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Childrens Hospital, performed an in-depth clinical and genomic analysis which revealed ACTG2 gene as the primary determinant of severe symptoms and worse long-term prognosis in majority of the patients. Furthermore, patients with severe symptoms had a higher likelihood of mutations that substituted key arginine residues in ACTG2, while ...

The subacute phase begins when fever, rash, and lymphadenopathy resolve at about one to two weeks after the onset of fever, but irritability, anorexia, and conjunctival injection persist. Gastrointestinal complications in Kawasaki disease are similar to those observed in Henoch-Sch nlein purpura, 69 such as: intestinal obstruction, 76 colon swelling, 77 intestinal ischemia, 78 intestinal pseudo-obstruction, 79 and acute abdomen. This association with tropospheric winds has been shown to be modulated at seasonal and interannual timescales by the El Ni o Southern Oscillation phenomenon, 105 further indicating the agent responsible for the disease is a wind-borne pathogen. Scarlet fever appears similar to Kawasakis disease in some aspects, but lacks the eye signs or the swollen, red fingers and toes. Ankylosing spondylitis is an autoimmune disease and is a type of arthritis of the spine. There is a strong familial association which has been demonstrated. If you notice symptoms, they might include: ...

Paralytic ileus (or adynamic ileus) refers to a lack of passage of intestinal contents due to disturbances of normal intestinal motility, in absense of mechanical obstruction. The most common causes are intra-abdominal surgery, severe metabolic problems, drugs. We present two clinical cases related to patients with breast cancer and admitted with paralytic ileus following treatment with capacitabine in local Lanciano Hospital. Naranjo, Jones algoritms suggest a direct causal relationship. Our two cases, to our knowledge, represent the first published report of this particular intestinal toxicity of capecitabine. Pathophisiological explanation is difficult because no data are known about fluoropyrimidines effects on enteric motor functions (motor system, neural influences, hormonal factors): Tegafur (UFT) also, another oral fluoropyrimidine, induces paralytic ileus. We hypothesize that some 5-flourouracil metabolites (5-fluorocitrate; fluoro-beta-alanine), seldom responsible for central and ...

Many low birthweight premature babies will have feeding difficulties due to various factors related to their gut immaturity. Some of these factors include lower oesophageal sphincter pressure, delayed gastric emptying, and prolonged gastrointestinal transit time.1 Consequently, when these babies are fed by nasogastric tube, they often develop feed intolerance that is usually manifest by gastric aspirates, regurgitation, bile stained aspirates and/or abdominal distension. They may take several days to weeks to tolerate enteral feeds and are subjected to lengthy periods of parenteral nutrition.. Cisapride is a gastrointestinal prokinetic agent that acts by releasing acetylcholine from the nerve terminals of the gut. In children it increases lower oesophageal sphincter pressure,6 enhances gastric emptying,7-9 and increases intestinal transit time.10 11 It has been widely used in children for a variety of conditions including gastro-oesophageal reflux,6 12 13 intestinal pseudo-obstruction,14 15 and ...

Causes of secondary intestinal pseudo-obstruction include abdominal or pelvic surgery, infections, medications such as opiates and antidepressants that affect muscles and nerves.

Genetics Home Reference : 25 Chronic atrial and intestinal dysrhythmia (CAID) is a disorder affecting the heart and the digestive system. CAID disrupts the normal rhythm of the heartbeat; affected individuals have a heart rhythm abnormality called sick sinus syndrome. The disorder also impairs the rhythmic muscle contractions that propel food through the intestines (peristalsis), causing a digestive condition called intestinal pseudo-obstruction. The heart and digestive issues develop at the same time, usually by age 20 ...

In terms of CIPO, sequencing patients genomes it could mean that we can find the underlying causes of CIPO - it could be that CIPO has more than one causative gene, which would mean we could even find different subtypes of pseudo-obstruction based on the different underlying gene mutation. However, this would have huge implications for CIPO. If we know the underlying gene mutation/mutations, we will find out the underlying basis of CIPO and the underlying mechanism of how it causes the condition. This could then lead to treatments that rectify the problem with the function relating to the gene, or actually treating the gene mutation itself with gene therapy. This could lead to treatments, or even a cure, for the condition.. The first CIPO patient has already been recruited by Professor Knowles. P.O.R.T. hopes to support the recruitment of patients with CIPO onto the 100,000 Genomes Project and to progress the understanding of and development of treatments for CIPO..

Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalopathy (MNGIE) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder associated with thymidine phosphorylase deficiency resulting in high levels of plasma thymidine and a characteristic clinical phenotype. The disease is characterized clinically by ptosis, progressive external ophthalmoparesis, gastrointestinal dysmotility, cachexia, peripheral neuropathy, and leukoencephalopathy. MNGIE is caused by TYMP mutations. Rare cases of MNGIE-like phenotype have been linked to RRM2B and POLG mutations ...

Entrada Therapeutics is developing an enzyme replacement therapy, called ENTR-501, for mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy.

In 1988, Hirano was in a neurology training program (residency) at Columbia University.. He remembers the day that year when he and other neurology residents were introduced to two new patients, a brother and sister, both in their 40s and neither weighing more than 90 pounds - a result of abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract. They both had peripheral nerve abnormalities, droopy eyelids and unusual features in their muscle biopsy samples that suggested malfunctioning mitochondria.. Their disorder seemed like a mitochondrial defect that had been described the previous year called MNGIE syndrome (for mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy, denoting abnormalities in the nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, brain and muscles).. But something didnt fit. Disorders resulting from mutations in mitochondrial DNA are inherited through the maternal line. (Mitochondria from the egg, but not the sperm, contribute to a developing embryo at conception.) Mothers who transmit ...

Parenteral Nutrition (PN) acts as an intravenous source of both macronutrients and micronutrients when enteral feeds are not possible. Intravenous fat emulsions often supplement PN and provide a dense source of non-protein calories and essential fatty acids. Although PN is life-sustaining, it is associated with a myriad of life-threatening complications including Parenteral Nutrition Associated Cholestasis (PNAC). Children dependent on PN for an extended period of time are high risk for liver failure.. The etiology of PNAC remains poorly understood. Neonates with congenital and acquired gastrointestinal disorders are at high risk for PNAC and its subsequent complications. Examples of these gastrointestinal disorders include gastroschisis, volvulus, atresias, dysmotility and malabsorption disorders, pseudo-obstruction, and Hirschsprungs disease. These disorders often render the gut non-functional for extended periods of time. As a result, these patients become PN-dependent and develop ...

Introduction Microcolon is a radiographic feature of low intestinal obstruction that results from intrauterine underutilization or what is termed

If the obstruction is preventing blood from getting to a segment of intestine, this can cause infection, tissue death, or gangrene. In babies or premature babies, there is a concern that paralytic ileus can become necrotizing entercolitis, a possibly deadly die-off of the intestinal tract walls.. Treatment depends upon the location and severity of the obstruction. For partial blockages, it might be possible to give a low-fiber diet and await the obstruction to pass.. Treating dehydration is important. IV fluids might be begun to correct electrolyte imbalance. A catheter might be placed into the bladder to remove fluid.. Sometimes, a tube can be passed through the nose and down into the throat, stomach, and intestines to alleviate pressure, swelling, and vomiting. Surgery might still be needed after this procedure.. For some patients, a metal stent that broadens inside the intestinal tract might be put using a long tube called an endoscope. This wire mesh holds open the intestinal tract. The ...

T.and Tuominen, J. ANTISEROTONINS TRIAL-PREP. A diagnosis of doxycylcine paralytic ileus was made and attributed to amfebuta- mone, although an amfebutamoneвlithium interaction could not be excluded (355).

The incidence of bacterial colonization and risk of infection associated with the use of continuous insulin infusion pump (CIIP) was examined in 11 pregnant diabetic patients. All patients received instruction on specific aspects of CIIP and needle insertion technique according to the protocol used in our institution. A total of 220 cultures was performed on the subcutaneous needle and connective tubing. There was no clinical evidence of infection. In conclusion, the risk of infectious cutaneous complications in the pregnant diabetic patient using CIIP is not increased over the nonpregnant diabetic population.. ...

Acalovschi, I.; Badea, G., 1978: Effectiveness of (intermittent) continuous peridural anesthesia in the prevention of postoperative ileus

The guy off-camera actually playing the sax line presumably spent an amount of time practicing the sax, equivalent to the time spent by Cipo Jr. there, at the gym pumping iron, pumping body oil from the dispenser, and just plain pumping. I remember thinking that back when too, except the Cipo part since I literally learned who he was from THIS BLOG in the late oughts. THATS how much I give a shit about pro cycling. Anyway there was something incongruous about the cinematic depiction of a supposedly decadent environment where dudes have time not only for sax lessons but also working out and body-oiling. ...
