Ascites3
- Subgroup analysis shows if MGC was combined with ascites or peritoneal involvement, the OS of the RP regimen was longer (P = 0.05). (bvsalud.org)
- CONCLUSIONS: Second-line palliative chemotherapy with RP was shown to prolong the PFS and OS, especially among patients with ascites or peritoneal involvement, which warrants confirmation using larger sample studies. (bvsalud.org)
- While a CT may be able to directly visualize breaks in the bladder wall, findings are usually more non-specific: free fluid, ascites, or bladder wall enhancement. (emdocs.net)

Cases1
- We compare identified cases of GAS primary peritonitis to cases described in the existing pediatric literature. (cdc.gov)
Features2
- Evaluation of the mesentery is often neglected during routine ultrasound (US) because of inadequate training and unfamiliarity with the common US features encountered with mesenteric disease. (sajr.org.za)
- It is characterised by normal endoscopic appearances, microscopic features of colonic inflammation and thickening of the sub epithelial collagen layer. (passmed.uk)
Levels2
- Massive dilatation is seen in complete obstruction and is accompanied by fluid levels on the dorsal decubitus radiograph. (radiologyassistant.nl)
- However, fluid levels alone do not necessarily correspond to dilatation, but rather reflect abnormal peristalsis. (radiologyassistant.nl)
Carcinomatosis3
- Mucinous carcinomatosis is the most likely diagnosis of cystic peritoneal masses. (radiologyassistant.nl)
- Pseudomyxoma peritonei is less common, but looks quite similar to peritoneal carcinomatosis. (radiologyassistant.nl)
- The extent of peritoneal disease with bilateral ovarian masses is certainly concerning for carcinomatosis at first glance. (radiopaedia.org)
Mesenteric4
- We will discuss the differential diagnosis of cystic and solid peritoneal and mesenteric masses. (radiologyassistant.nl)
- The first step when diagnosing peritoneal or mesenteric masses is to separate them into cystic and solid. (radiologyassistant.nl)
- A moderate amount of peritoneal effusion was also detected with hyperechoic omental and mesenteric fat tissue throughout the peritoneal cavity. (scirp.org)
- Multirow helical detector CT scans are capable of scanning the abdomen in less than 30 seconds and can detect free air, free fluid, abnormal bowel wall enhancement, bowel wall thickening, and mesenteric infiltration. (medscape.com)
Bowel wall1
- There is associated bowel wall thickening due to a desmoplastic reaction. (radiologyassistant.nl)
Cavity1
- In Peritoneum and Mesentery - part I: Anatomy the normal anatomy and physiology of the peritoneum and peritoneal cavity are discussed. (radiologyassistant.nl)
Ovarian3
- Is the most common peritoneal solid mass resulting from ovarian or gastrointestinal cancer. (radiologyassistant.nl)

Abdomen1
- Axial CT through the abdomen shows focal gas bubbles (red arrow) and anextraluminal fluid collection (blue arrow) adjacent to the contrast-filled colon. (medscape.com)
Abscess1
- Secondly we have to realize that any loculated fluid collection due to infection, i.e. abscess or as a result of pancreatitis, perforation or bile peritonitis can simulate a cystic mass. (radiologyassistant.nl)
Bacteria3
- Culture/Gram stain: Culture has a 92% sensitivity for the detection of bacteria in ascitic fluid, provided that samples are inoculated into blood culture bottles immediately, at the bedside. (medscape.com)
- In contrast, Gram stain is only 10% sensitive for visualizing bacteria in early-detected spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. (medscape.com)
- the median concentration of bacteria in spontaneous bacterial peritonitis is 1 organism/mL. (medscape.com)
Cultures2
- Peritoneal fluid cultures were made, and parts of the necrotic small and large bowel were sent to pathology. (hindawi.com)
- Preliminary results of the peritoneal fluid cultures showed gram-negative rods and hyphae compatible with those of the Mucorales, the latter being initially considered a probable laboratory contaminant given the favorable clinical evolution of the patient at this point. (hindawi.com)

Normal1
- Cell count: Normal ascitic fluid contains fewer than 500 leukocytes/µL and fewer than 250 polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs)/µL. (medscape.com)
Blood2
- A minimum of 10,000 red blood cells/µL is required for ascitic fluid to appear pink, and more than 20,000 red blood cells/µL will produce distinctly blood-tinged fluid. (medscape.com)
- Nontraumatic bloody fluid is homogeneously red and does not clot because the blood has already clotted and lysed. (medscape.com)
Patient1
- In support of improving patient care, this activity has been planned and implemented by Medscape, LLC and Emerging Infectious Diseases. (cdc.gov)
