This document discusses several gastrointestinal conditions:
1. Esophageal atresia, which is when the esophagus is not connected to the stomach, causing regurgitation in newborns.
2. Imperforate anus, which is when the anus is not fully open, causing issues passing stool.
3. Meckel's diverticulum, a common intestinal anomaly caused by incomplete involution of the vitelline duct that can cause pain, bleeding, or inflammation.
4. Congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, a condition in infants where the pyloric sphincter muscle is thickened, causing projectile vomiting after feeding.

HIRSCHSPRUNG DISEASE of neonate wrr.pptxShambelNegese
disease is a condition that affects the large intestine (colon) and causes problems with passing stool. The condition is present at birth (congenital) as a result of missing nerve cells in the muscles of the baby's colon.
Abdominal pain in pregnancy is a very common problem encountered in day to day practice. Although is can be benign at times great care should be exercised to dismiss as nothing significant.
Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

– Chronic constipation
46. Failure to pass
meconium in the
first 48 hours of life
or
chronic constipation
is one of the
common clinical
presentations of
Hirschsprung's
disease
47. Pathogenesis:
During normal development:During normal development:
•Neural crest cells migrate in the intestine from ceacum
to rectum
•They form Aurbach (Myentric plexus) and Meissner’s
plexus (Submocosal)
In Hirschsprung’s disease:In Hirschsprung’s disease:
•This migration gets arrested prematurely
• This produces aganglionic segment distally
• Coordinated peristaltic contractions are absent
• Functional abstraction
• Dilatation of proximal normal segment
48. Why this defect in migration:
• Loss of heterozygosity in Receptor tyrosine kinase RET
• Most of the familial cases
• 15% of sporadic cases
• Mutations of genes of the protein involved in enteric
neurodevelopment: (30% of cases)
• Neurotrophic factor derived from RET
• Endothelin
• Endothelin receptor
• Modifying genes and other environmental factors
• Sex: males are mostly affected, however, disease is
more extensive in females
49. Diagnosis:
• By demonstrating the absence of ganglion cells in the
affected segment
• Suction rectal biopsy to demonstrate absence of
submucosal Meissner’s plexus
• IHC for Acetylcholinestrase
Site of biopsy:
• Rectum is always affected (hence preferred and also
easily accessible)
• Length of involved segment varies widely
• Intraoperative frozen section to identify the proximal
uninvolved level
57. Acquired causes for megacolon:
• Chaga’s disease (of all the following, only this
disease is associated with loss of ganglion
cells)
• Obstruction by neoplasm
• Inflammatory strictures
• Toxic megacolon
– Ulcerative colitis
– Visceral myopathy
– Psychosomatic disorders
Atresia is a condition in which a body orifice or passage in the body is abnormally closed or absent.
Esophageal atresia - contrast
Imperforate Anus and Related Anomalies
Immediate relief of the acute colonic obstruction is provided by colostomy, after which further repair can be planned. Remember that the first operation has the greatest chance for a successful outcome. The best procedure may be less than perfectly successful if it follows an earlier, inadequate attempt at repair.
The procedures following colostomy vary with the specific anatomy of the defect to be treated. They are outside the field of general surgery.
Diagram of stages in development of the anus and rectum from the fifth to tenth weeks of gestation. A, Closing plate (proctodeum separates the cloaca from the outside). Urorectal septum (arrow) grows downward to divide the cloaca. B, Cloaca almost separated into dorsal rectum and ventral urogenital sinus. Tailgut is vanishing. C, Fusion of urorectal septum with closing plate to form the perineal body. D, Closing plates rupture. E, Division into rectum and urogenital sinus by the perineal body is complete. (Modified from Skandalakis JE, Gray SW. Embryology for Surgeons (2nd ed). Baltimore: Williams & Wilkins, 1994; with permission.)
In the fifth week, the embryonic cloaca is an endodermal sac receiving the hindgut dorsally and the allantoic stalk ventrally. The cloaca (Fig. 18-2A, B) is separated from the outside by a thin cloacal membrane (proctodeum), which occupies the embryo's ventral surface between the tail and the body stalk. During the sixth week, a septum of mesoderm divides the cloaca into a ventral urogenital sinus and a dorsal rectum (Fig. 18-2C) . This mesodermic septum fuses with the cloacal membrane in the seventh week to form the perineal body. The cloacal membrane is divided into a larger, ventral urogenital membrane and a smaller, dorsal anal membrane. Externally, the anal membrane becomes slightly depressed, forming the anal dimple. By the eighth week, the anal membrane ruptures, leaving no trace of itself (Fig. 18-2D). The pectinate line in the adult is often considered to be at the level of the anal membrane, but little evidence exists to either support or contradict this view. Whatever the exact line of demarcation, the rectum and the upper anal canal are endodermal and are supplied by the inferior mesenteric artery, while the lower anal canal is ectodermal and is supplied by branches of the internal iliac artery.
A previously healthy 3-week-old baby is brought by his parents to your emergency department with a 1-day history of emesis. The parents describe the emesis as "forceful", non-bloody, and non-bilious. The baby is exclusively breastfed and continues to be hungry after each episode of vomiting. They deny any fevers. You notice an active baby boy with unremarkable vital signs. Physical examination is significant for a peristaltic wave on the abdomen and a 2x2 cm firm mass palpated in the midepigastric region. Laboratory studies show a bicarbonate level of 18 mEq/L. The most likely diagnosis isA. annular pancreasB. gastroesophageal refluxC. intussusceptionD. malrotation with volvulusE. pyloric stenosis (Answer)

Normally meconium is passed on the first day of life. Passing meconium on the third day is abnormal.
It can present in neonates and also in older children.
Note: Meissner’s and Aurbach plexus migrate simultaneously and equally. Therefore presence or absence of one reciprocates the other.

Chagas disease (pron.: /ˈʃɑːɡəs/; Portuguese: doença de Chagas [duˈẽsɐ dʒi ˈʃagɐʃ], Spanish: enfermedad de Chagas [eɱfermeˈðað ðe ˈtʃaɣas], also known as mal de Chagas[-Mazza] in both languages; also called American trypanosomiasis) is a tropical parasitic disease caused by the flagellate protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi. T. cruzi is commonly transmitted to humans and other mammals by an insect vector, the blood-sucking "kissing bugs" of the subfamily Triatominae (family Reduviidae), most commonly from species belonging to the Triatoma, Rhodnius, and Panstrongylus genera.[1]
The disease may also be spread through blood transfusion and organ transplantation, ingestion of food contaminated with parasites, and from a mother to her fetus.[2]
The symptoms of Chagas disease vary over the course of an infection. In the early, acute stage, symptoms are mild and usually produce no more than local swelling at the site of infection. The initial acute phase is responsive to antiparasitic treatments, with 60–90% cure rates. After 4–8 weeks, individuals with active infections enter the chronic phase of Chagas disease that is asymptomatic for 60–80% of chronically infected individuals through their lifetime.[3][4][5]
The antiparasitic treatments also appear to delay or prevent the development of disease symptoms during the chronic phase of the disease, but 20–40% of chronically infected individuals will still eventually develop life-threatening heart and digestive system disorders. The currently available antiparasitic treatments for Chagas disease are benznidazole and nifurtimox, which can cause temporary side effects in many patients including skin disorders, brain toxicity, and digestive system irritation.[3][4][5]
Chagas disease is contracted primarily in the Americas, particularly in poor, rural areas of Mexico, Central America, and South America; very rarely, the disease has been found in the Southern United States. The insects that spread the disease are known by various local names, including vinchuca in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Paraguay, barbeiro (the barber) in Brazil, pito in Colombia, chinche in Central America, chipo in Venezuela, chupança, chinchorro, and "the kissing bug".
It is estimated that as many as 11 million people in Mexico, Central America and South America have Chagas disease, most of whom do not know they are infected. Large-scale population movements from rural to urban areas of Latin America and to other regions of the world have increased the geographic distribution of Chagas disease, and cases have been noted in many countries, particularly in Europe.[4][6] Control strategies have mostly focused on eliminating the triatomine insect vector and preventing transmission from other sources.
