Abstract:
In the experiment on 214 white rats, the effect of different types of low-intensive laser irradiation and existing methods of treatment on regional hemodynamics in strangulated ileus was studied. Combined use of ultraviolet and helium-neon lasers has to be proved to be the most effective. Ultraviolet laser irradiation contributed to increase in elasticity of the arterial wall and cupping off the vascular spasm, helium-neon irradiation had a stimulating effect on the tissues of the intestinal wall.

01:29Intestinal Obstruction I: Introduction
Intestinal obstruction is a partial or complete blockage of the small or large intestine that disrupts the normal flow of intestinal contents through the lumen. This interruption impairs digestion, absorption, and fluid balance, and may lead to serious complications if not treated promptly.Mechanical ObstructionMechanical obstruction occurs when a physical blockage prevents intestinal contents from passing, arising from within the lumen or the bowel wall, or from external compression.Adhesions,...
01:07Intestinal Obstruction II: Pathophysiology
Intestinal obstruction triggers a series of physiological responses, starting with gas and fluid accumulation in the bowel segment proximal to the obstruction, leading to distension. This distended intestine compresses the diaphragm, hindering lung expansion and potentially leading to reduced respiratory effort, atelectasis, and pneumonia.To overcome the blockage, the gut intensifies contractions, causing colicky abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, which reduces fluid and food intake and...
