Acute mesenteric ischemia is a life-threatening vascular emergency that requires early
diagnosis and intervention to adequately restore mesenteric blood flow and to prevent …

Mortality related to acute mesenteric arterial occlusion remains very high. Patient survival is
dependent on prompt recognition and revascularization before ischemia progresses to …

BACKGROUND: Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is associated with high morbidity and
mortality due in part to its diagnostic difficulty and operative challenges. The purpose of this …

The purpose of this study was to explore the accuracy of multi-detector row helical CT
(MDCT), using a biphasic mesenteric angiography protocol for evaluation of acute …

Objective: This study aims at improving diagnosis of intestinal ischemia, by measuring
plasma and urinary fatty acid binding protein (FABP) levels. Methods: Fifty consecutive …

Background & Aims: Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) is a nutrient-responsive hormone that
exerts diverse actions in the gastrointestinal tract, including enhancing epithelial cell survival …

Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of intestinal fatty acid binding
protein (I-FABP) and traditional biomarkers in the early diagnosis of acute intestinal …

Abstract Background/Aims: Measurement of serum lactate remains the most frequently
applied laboratory investigation to diagnose acute mesenteric (intestinal) ischemia. The …

Methods: In a human experimental model, 6 cm of the jejunum, to be removed for surgical
