Endoscopy of the Small Intestine
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1989For the patient and the clinician, it is well that small-bowel diseases are unusual, as our ability to access this area remains limited. Frequently, all of the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities of radiology, endoscopy, and surgery are required for successful resolution of a given problem.

Melanoma of the small intestine
The Lancet Oncology, 2009Intestinal melanomas can be primary tumours or metastases of cutaneous, ocular, or anal melanomas. Primary intestinal melanoma is extremely rare, whereas metastatic melanoma of the small bowel is common because of the tendency for cutaneous melanoma to metastasise to the gastrointestinal tract.

Calculi of the Small Intestine
The British Journal of Radiology, 1956The discovery of calculi in the intestine may be of considerable importance in the diagnosis of chronic constipation or of partial ileus. Intestinal calculi may be found in any portion of the colon, where stagnation of faecal matter occurs for a more or less prolonged period.

Angiosarcoma of the small intestine
Annals of African Medicine, 2011Primary gastrointestinal angiosarcomas are very rare and those of the small bowel even more rare. We report a case which is the first in the literature from this part of the world. It presented in a 25-year-old woman with multiple dissemination and rapid fatality.

Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 1994
Bleeding from the small intestine may be difficult to diagnose, because of the organ's length, free intraperitoneal location, and the nature of the lesions that bleed in the small bowel. Although there are several causes of intestinal bleeding, angiodysplasias are most common.

Motility of the small intestine
Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 1999Motility of the small intestine is controlled by myogenic, neural, and hormonal mechanisms and is modulated by external influences such as meals, central nervous system activation, and immune factors. Small-bowel dysmotility is recognized in a number of diseases, but its precise role in symptom generation remains unclear in many instances.

Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 2000
The noninvasive assessment of small intestinal permeability in humans is now within the capability of any routine biochemistry laboratory. There remain however, many pitfalls for the unwary when performing these tests. Importantly, it has now been shown that normal intestinal permeability relates to geographical location rather than race.

Small-intestinal transplantation
Baillière's Clinical Gastroenterology, 1997The management of patients with intestinal failure has benefited from progress in parenteral nutrition (PN), especially home-based PN. Intestinal transplantation is therefore possible and is now, in some conditions, the logical therapeutic option. Since 1985, more than 180 small-bowel grafts have been done, involving the isolated small bowel with or ...

Adenocarcinoma of the small intestine
The American Journal of Surgery, 1984Sixty-five patients with adenocarcinoma of the small intestine were encountered over a 31 year period. The duodenum was the most common location, with a decreasing frequency distally. Associated malignancies were present in a fourth of the patients. Presenting signs and symptoms were vague and related to either obstruction or bleeding.

Surgery of the Small Intestine
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 1997Although earlier reports describe a poor prognosis for small intestinal surgery in the horse, there is growing evidence that the short-term survival rate can exceed 80%. In addition to advancements in surgery and aftercare, early referral contributes considerably to the improved prognosis.
