The junction between the midgut and hindgut co‐localizes with the rectosigmoid junction
At 5 weeks of development, the midgut has formed its primary loop (left). It is well established that the midgut is bounded cranially by the caudal end of the ventral mesentery and the presence of the common bile duct, but its caudal boundary remains to be established.

This study characterizes a newly‐described intervertebral fat pad (IVFP) anterior to rat IVDs, with evidence for its existence in mice and human IVDs as well. In rats, the IVFP gradually degenerated following IVD injury with changes in adipocyte size and fibrous tissue infiltration, suggesting it could play a functional role in IVD health and ...

Computed tomography identified a 2.7 × 2.0 × 1.5 cm soft tissue mass extending from the caudal aspect of the hard palate to the rostral soft palate. Bilateral caudal maxillectomy was declined by owners; thus, a marginal resection was performed.

The novel manometric parameter Milan Score could be useful in predicting which patients with type 2 EGJ have a high likelihood of objective GERD, therefore discriminating which patients may need escalation of GERD investigation and management. ABSTRACT Introduction High‐resolution manometry (HRM) allows assessment of esophagogastric junction (EGJ ...
