Performing an intestinal stoma with placement of an Artificial Sphincter® Intestinal Valve (VITEA): A case report. [PDF]
Int J Surg Case Rep, 2020 Intestinal stomas are created for distinct clinical conditions. They may involve the small bowel (ileostomy) or the large bowel (colostomy), depending on the objective or site of the stoma. Intestinal stomas may be temporary or permanent; they cause loss control of intestinal transit due to the absence of a sphincter that regulates its exit, provoking ...

Shark spiral intestines may operate as Tesla valves [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2021 Looking to nature for inspiration has led to many diverse technological advances. The spiral valve intestine of sharks has provided the opportunity to observe the efficiency of different valve systems. It is supposed that the spiral intestine present in sharks, skates and rays slows the transit rate of digesta through the gut and provides increased ...
