• Aortic diameters and ulcer depths were measured by a single observer on initial and follow-up imaging to assess for association with concomitant aortic pathology, evolving aortic disease, and ulcer progression, defined as increase in depth of ≥ 1 mm. (elsevierpure.com)
  • Emphysematous pancreatitis (EP) is a rare variant of necrotizing pancreatitis which may result from bacterial superinfection of pancreatic tissue with gas-forming organisms such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. (bvsalud.org)
  • Strictures showed short-length (mean: 10.44 mm) and circumferential bowel wall thickening (mean: 5.56 mm) with layered enhancement (n = 48) that were also noted on initial SBS (n = 36) with shallow ulcers (n = 10). (korea.ac.kr)
  • CONCLUSION Under characteristic radiologic findings with multiple short-segmental strictures and/or shallow ulcers of the small intestine, CMUSE should be considered when assessing patients with recurrent abdominal pain and anemia. (korea.ac.kr)
  • Shallow ulcers with scabs that then heal without scarring follow the formation of vesicles. (medscape.com)
  • Materials and Methods: Patients at our tertiary referral center were identified for inclusion based on a search for the term "penetrating ulcer" in abdominal computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging reports between January 2014 and December 2017. (elsevierpure.com)
  • Skin flora may be responsible for abscesses after a penetrating abdominal injury. (medscape.com)
  • There were no penetrating disease features like fistula or abscess and no gastrointestinal tract involvement except the small bowel. (korea.ac.kr)
  • On initial imaging, the mean ulcer depth was 1 cm (range from 0.2 cm to 3.4 cm). (elsevierpure.com)
  • PENETRATING ATHEROSCLEROTIC ULCER and sometimes aortic aneurysms. (bvsalud.org)
  • It is used to treat gastrointestinal ulcers. (lookformedical.com)
  • Side effects depend on the specific drug, its dose and duration of use, but largely include an increased risk of gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeds , heart attack , and kidney disease . (cloudfront.net)
  • These NSAIDs, while reducing inflammation, also inhibit platelet aggregation and increase the risk of gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeds. (cloudfront.net)
  • Ulceration of the AORTA by an ATHEROSCLEROTIC PLAQUE by penetrating through and disrupting the internal elastic lamina of the TUNICA INTIMA . (nih.gov)
  • Prostaglandin E2 receptor 2, also known as EP2, is a prostaglandin receptor for prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) encoded by the human gene PTGER2: it is one of four identified EP receptors, the others being EP1, EP3, and EP4, which bind with and mediate cellular responses to PGE2 and also, but with lesser affinity and responsiveness, certain other prostanoids (see Prostaglandin receptors). (wikipedia.org)
  • Many of the earlier EP2 receptor antagonists used for such studies exhibited poor receptor selectivity, inhibiting, for example, other EP receptors. (wikipedia.org)
  • It is mainly used in pain and itch prevention on wounds, ulcer surfaces, mucous membrane surfaces and hemorrhoids. (blansacar.cn)
  • Previously described cases of EP associated with penetrating ulcer are exceedingly rare and typified by focal emphysema confined to the site of fistulation, often the head of pancreas. (bvsalud.org)
  • The most recent NICE guideline on the prevention and management of pressure ulcers considered all RCT evidence on dressings and separately all RCT evidence on topical agents. (ulcertalk.com)
  • Survival for blunt injury is significantly lower than for penetrating injury due to conditions such as cardiac contusion, cardiac rupture, and aortic rupture. (medscape.com)
  • Tools to Manage Pain Podcast Ep. (arthritis.org)
  • NICE recommendations are to not use saline gauze dressings and for the health professional and adult to discuss the type of dressing to use, taking into account pain and tolerance, position of the ulcer, amount of exudate and frequency of dressing change. (ulcertalk.com)
  • Benzocaine is a type of drug with relatively strong lipid-solubility and will bind with mucosa and the fatty layer of skin, but it will not easily penetrate into the body and cause poisoning. (blansacar.cn)
  • The cytokines and neutrophils are recruited to the affected area after bacteria have penetrated the skin leading to an epidermal response. (nih.gov)
  • The highly polar quaternary ammonium group of glycopyrrolate limits its passage across lipid membranes, such as the blood-brain barrier, in contrast to atropine sulfate and scopolamine hydrobromide, which are non-polar tertiary amines which penetrate lipid barriers easily. (nih.gov)
  • We have been unable to identify any network metaanalyses directed at healing pressure ulcers and incorporating both dressings and topical agents. (ulcertalk.com)
