Perforation of the intestines results in the potential for bacterial contamination of the abdominal cavity a condition known as peritonitis . Perforation of the stomach can lead to a chemical peritonitis due to leaked gastric acid . Perforation anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract is a surgical emergency . Causes Underlying causes include gastric ulcer , appendicitis , gastrointestinal cancer , diverticulitis , superior mesenteric artery syndrome , Physical trauma trauma , and ascariasis . In surprisingly common cases, it can be caused by large objects inserted via the anus such as a colonoscope or sexual exploitation. It may also be due to foreign body such as ingested bone e.g. a fish bone . Symptoms Gastrointestinalperforation results in severe abdominal pain intensified by movement, nausea and vomiting . Later symptoms include fever and or chills. Diagnosis On X rays, free gas may be visible in the abdominal cavity. The perforation can often be visualised using CT. White blood cells are often elevated. Also, the symptom of wooden belly is visible, i.e. abdominal wall rigidity. Treatment Treatment depends on the underlying cause. Surgical intervention is nearly always required in form of exploratory laparotomy and closure of perforation with peritoneal wash Sometimes medical evacuation . Conservative treatment is indicated in case patient is nontoxic and clinically stable, these patients are to be treated with IV fluids, antibiotics, nasogastric aspiration and bowel rest.

Corneal Perforation is an anomaly in the cornea resulting from damage to the corneal surface. A corneal perforation means that the cornea has been penetrated, thus leaving the cornea damaged. br The cornea is a clear part of the eye which controls and focuses the entry of light into the eye. Damage to the cornea due to corneal perforation can cause decreased visual acuity. Causes Diseases that cause progressive corneal thinning. Accidents during eye surgery, that results in scraping or injury of the cornea. Infection of the cornea post eye surgery. Indications Difficulty in seeing. Discoloration of the cornea. Persistent eye pain. Diagnosis Corneal perforation can be diagnosed by using the Seidel test . Any aqueous leakage is revealed during the Seidel test confirms corneal perforation. A fluorescence strip is wiped over the wound. If the clear aqueous humor from the eye runs through the yellow stain, the patient tests positive for corneal perforation. Treatment The treatment of corneal perforation depends on the location, severity and the cause of damage Tissue adhesive can be used to seal small perforation, but this method cannot be used to treat perforations larger than 1 mm. Non infected corneal perforation generally heals when a pressure bandage is used. For certain types of corneal perforations, lamellar keratoplasty is used as treatment.

No footnotes date February 2011 The gastrointestinal hormones or gut hormones constitute a group of hormone s secreted by enteroendocrine cell s in the stomach , pancreas , and small intestine that control various functions of the digestive organs. Later studies showed that most of the gut peptides, such as secretin , cholecystokinin or substance P , were found to play a role of neurotransmitter s and neuromodulator s in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Enteroendocrine cells do not form endocrine glands but are spread throughout the digestive tract. They exert their autocrine and paracrine actions that integrate all of gastrointestinal function. Types of Gastrointestinal hormones The gastrointestinal hormones can be divided into three main groups based upon their chemical structure . Gastrin family Gastrin cholecystokinin family gastrin and cholecystokinin Secretin family secretin , glucagon , vasoactive intestinal peptide and gastric inhibitory peptide Somatostatin family Motilin family Substance P .

Gastrointestinal physiology is a branch of human physiology addressing the physical function of the gastrointestinal system gastrointestinal GI system . The major processes occurring in the GI system are that of motility, secretion, regulation, digestion and circulation. The function and coordination of each of these actions is vital in maintaining GI health, and thus the digestion of nutrients for the entire body. Image Digestive system diagram en.svg thumb The Basic anatomy of the Digestive System Motility The GI tract generates motility using smooth muscle subunits linked by gap junctions . These subunits fire spontaneously in either a tonic or a phasic fashion. Tonic contractions are those contractions that are maintained from several minutes up to hours at a time. These occur in the sphincters of the tract, as well as in the anterior stomach. The other type of contractions, called phasic contractions, consist of brief periods of both relaxation and contraction, occurring in the posterior stomach and the small intestine, and are carried out by the muscularis externa . Stimulation The stimulation for these contractions likely originates in modified smooth muscle cells called interstitial cells of Cajal . These cells cause spontaneous cycles of slow wave potential s that can cause action potentials in smooth muscle cells. They are associated with the contractile smooth muscle via gap junctions. These slow wave potentials must reach a threshold level for the action potential to occur, whereupon Ca sup 2 sup channels on the smooth muscle open and an action potential occurs. As the contraction is graded based upon how much Ca sup 2 sup enters the cell, the longer the duration of slow wave, the more action potentials occur. This in turn results in greater contraction force from the smooth muscle. Both amplitude and duration of the slow waves can be modified based upon the presence ...

This may be brought on directly, as in the case of nasal body piercing piercing s, or indirectly, as by long term topical drug use like cocaine or decongestant nasal sprays, chronic nosebleed epistaxis , aggressive digital nasal cleaning nose picking and as a complication of nasal surgery like septoplasty or rhinoplasty . Much less common causes for perforated nasal septums include rare granulomatous inflammatory conditions like Wegener s granulomatosis . It has been reported as a side effect of anti angiogenesis drugs like bevacizumab . Symptoms A perforated septum can vary in size and location, and is usually found deep inside the nose. It may be asymptomatic, or cause a variety of symptoms. Small perforations can cause a whistling noise when breathing. Larger perforations usually have more severe symptoms. These can be a combination of crusting, blood discharge, difficulty breathing, nasal pressure and discomfort. The closer the perforation is to the nostrils, the more likely it is to cause symptoms. Treatment The majority of septal perforations can be managed without surgery. The hole will never close but if the open, raw trailing edge of the perforation can heal, the vast majority of symptoms resolve. The open irritated and raw surface must be continuously covered with a cream using a cotton applicator. This will prevent this area from drying out, cracking, bleeding, forming a scab and crusting up. A few months of successful application will allow the ulcerated edge to heal and reduces or resolves symptoms. In a small percentage of patients surgery is necessary to alleviate symptoms.

A lower gastrointestinal series , also called a barium enema , is a medical procedure used to examine and diagnose problems with the human colon anatomy colon large intestine . X ray pictures are taken while barium sulfate fills the colon via the rectum. Procedure This test may be done in a hospital or clinic. The patient lies on the X ray table and a preliminary X ray is taken. The patient is then asked to lie on the side while a well lubricated enema tube is inserted into the rectum . As the enema enters the body, the patient might have the sensation that they have to have a bowel movement. The barium sulfate, a radiopaque shows up on X ray Radiocontrast contrast medium , is then allowed to flow into the colon. A small balloon at the tip of the enema tube may be inflated to help keep the barium sulfate inside. The flow of the barium sulfate is monitored by the health care provider on an X ray fluoroscope screen like a TV monitor . Air may be puffed into the colon to distend it and provide better images often called a double contrast exam . If air is used, the enema tube will be reinserted if it had been removed whether it is depends on who does the exam and a small amount of air will be introduced into the colon, and more X ray pictures are taken. The patient is usually asked to move to different positions and the table is slightly tipped to get different views. If there is a suspected bowel perforation , a water soluble radiocontrast contrast is used instead of barium. The procedure is otherwise very similar, although the images are not quite as good.
