Anatomy of the Intestines01:23

Anatomy of the Intestines

87.1K
Although digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids may begin in the stomach, it is completed in the intestine. The absorption of nutrients, water, and electrolytes from food and drink also occurs in the intestine. The intestines can be divided into two structurally distinct organs—the small and large intestines.
Small Intestines
The small intestine is an ~7 meter-long tube with an inner diameter of just 2.5 cm. Since most nutrients are absorbed here, the inner lining of the...

Abdominal Aorta01:25

Abdominal Aorta

2.2K
Once the aorta traverses the diaphragmatic plane at the aortic hiatus, it is known as the abdominal aorta. This anatomical structure is positioned leftward of the spinal column, encased within a cocoon of adipose tissue behind the peritoneal cavity. It terminates at the L4 vertebra, where it splits into the common iliac arteries. Prior to this bifurcation, the abdominal aorta gives rise to several vital branches.
The celiac trunk, a singular artery, divides into the left gastric artery, which...

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

1.5K
Introduction:
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...

Abdominal Regions and Quadrants01:19

Abdominal Regions and Quadrants

16.8K
To promote clear communication, for instance, about the location of a patient's abdominal pain or a suspicious mass, anatomists and clinicians typically use imaginary lines to categorize the abdominopelvic cavity into either four quadrants or nine regions to identify organs in the cavity.
The simpler quadrants approach, which is more commonly used in medicine, subdivides the cavity with one horizontal and one vertical line that intersects at the patient's umbilicus (navel). The four...

Small Intestine01:15

Small Intestine

3.7K
The small intestine is primarily responsible for digestion and nutrient absorption. It spans from the pyloric sphincter to the ileocecal valve and connects to the large intestine.
The small intestine is divided into three main sections - the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The duodenum, approximately 25 cm long, is nearest the stomach. It acts as a 'mixing bowl,' where chyme (partially digested food) blends with digestive enzymes from the pancreas and liver. The duodenum's unique...

Large Intestine01:09

Large Intestine

4.8K
The large intestine is divided into three main regions: the cecum, colon, and rectum. Extending from the ileocecal valve to the anus, it frames the small intestine on three sides.
The ileocecal sphincter, a mucous membrane fold, guards the opening from the ileum to the large intestine. This valve permits material from the small intestine to pass into the large intestine. Attached to the ileocecal valve is the cecum. This small pouch, approximately 6 cm long, has a twisted, coiled tube known as...

Area of Science:

  • Emergency medicine
  • Surgical gastroenterology
  • Trauma surgery

Background:

  • Abdominal injuries represent a significant clinical challenge, accounting for 1.5-18% of all injuries.
  • Blunt abdominal trauma is associated with high rates of complications and mortality due to internal organ damage and diagnostic difficulties.

Observation:

  • The study details three case reports of patients treated for isolated and combined abdominal trauma with associated intestinal injury.
  • These cases were managed at the Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Care between August 2017 and February 2018.

Findings:

  • The case reports illustrate the diagnostic and management complexities of intestinal injuries resulting from blunt abdominal trauma.
  • Effective surgical intervention is crucial for improving outcomes in these critical cases.

Implications:

  • Understanding the nuances of diagnosing and treating blunt abdominal trauma with intestinal injury is vital for emergency surgical teams.
  • These case reports contribute to the body of knowledge for managing severe abdominal trauma and preventing associated complications.
