String sign , or gastrointestinal string sign, is a medical term for a radiographic finding on an Upper GI series , in which the patient is given a radio opaque material, such as barium, to drink. X ray s are then taken of the patient s stomach and intestines. The gastrointestinal string sign represents a severe narrowing of loop of bowel, in which a thin stripe of contrast within the lumen looks like a string. It may be seen in Crohn s Disease , Pyloric stenosis Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis HPS , Carcinoid and Colon Cancer . In people with Crohn s Disease, the string sign is caused by incomplete filling of the intestinal lumen, which results from irritability and spasm associated with severe ulceration. In such cases, the string sign is most frequently seen at the terminal ileum. In infants with Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis HPS , the pylorus is narrowed and the radio opaque material will take on the appearance of a thin string as it passes through this narrowed channel. Often, there are several of these strings seen called the railroad track sign . The use of the Upper GI series for the diagnosis of HPS, which was the primary diagnostic tool for this condition in the 1980 s and 1990 s, has been largely replaced by the use of ultrasound , which is less invasive and can visualize the thickened pylorus, giving actual measurements of this thickening.

Pulmonic regurgitation , also known as pulmonary regurgitation , is the backward flow of blood from the pulmonary artery , through the pulmonary valve , and into the right ventricle of the heart during diastole . While a small amount of pulmonic regurgitation may occur in healthy individuals, it is usually detectable only by an echocardiogram and is harmless. More pronounced regurgitation that is noticed through a routine physical examination is a medical sign of disease and warrants further investigation. Signs and symptoms Mild cases usually do not cause any symptoms. Because pulmonic regurgitation is the result of other factors in the body, any noticeable symptoms are ultimately caused by an underlying medical condition rather than the regurgitation itself. However, more severe regurgitation may contribute to right ventricular hypertrophy , and in later stages, Cor pulmonale right heart failure . Diastolic Murmur Early decresendo murmur. Heard best at the left lower sternal border. Causes Pulmonary hypertension is the most common cause of excessive pulmonic regurgitation. Other possible causes include tetralogy of Fallot , infective endocarditis , and congenital absence of the pulmonary valve, carcinoid syndrome. Treatment Asymptomatic cases do not require treatment. Pulmonic regurgitation is generally treated by addressing the underlying condition. In certain cases, the pulmonary valve may be valve replacement surgically replaced .
