[Investigation of bacterial translocation regularities in diffuse peritonitis using labeled radionuclide
Abstract:
The investigation of the regularities of translocation of opportunistic pathogenic microflora from the small intestine lumen and abdominal cavity in diffuse peritonitis using labeled radionuclide colibacillus has shown that in normal condition the intestinal barrier is not permeable for bacteria. Under conditions of diffuse peritonitis the bacterial translocation and peritoneal resorption are developing since the first minutes of the disease. During the development of the pathological process the priority of the foci of bacterial toxemia is changed from peritoneal to intestinal. Relaparotomy with manipulations on the intestine in peritonitis induces sharp activation of bacteria translocation into the portal blood flow and systemic circulation.

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
