Disease relevance of Gastric Outlet Obstruction

• Patients with jaundice who have peritoneal or liver metastases can be treated effectively with BO if they have no symptoms of gastric outlet obstruction [1].
• Wandering spleen presenting as gastric outlet obstruction after repair of traumatic diaphragmatic hernia [2].
• There was no significant difference in the frequency of DNA aneuploidy in terms of age, sex, symptom duration, bleeding history, gastric outlet obstruction, weight loss, performance status, serum hemoglobin level, albumin level, creatinine level, tumor size, tumor location in the stomach, and TNM stage [3].
• To date, increased stimulation of parietal cells by gastrin has been demonstrated only in patients with gastrinoma, G-cell hyperplasia, gastric outlet obstruction, hyperparathyroidism, excluded antrum, and short bowel syndrome, but not in the usual duodenal ulcer disease [4].
• Response to cimetidine of gastric outlet obstruction due to peptic ulcer disease [5].

High impact information on Gastric Outlet Obstruction

• After gastric-outlet obstruction was recognized in several infants who received prostaglandin E1, we studied the association between the drug and this complication [6].
• OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether concurrent administration of misoprostol reduces the occurrence of serious upper gastrointestinal complications, such as perforation, gastric outlet obstruction, or bleeding, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who are receiving nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) [7].
• Potassium chloride and gastric outlet obstruction [8].
• Acute and chronic salicylate intoxication in a patient with gastric outlet obstruction [9].
• Gastric outlet obstruction as a presenting manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of Gastric Outlet Obstruction

• In a patient with a gastroplasty, gastric outlet obstruction developed after the dosage of nifedipine GITS (gastrointestinal therapeutic system) was increased from 30 to 60 mg/d. The hard, insoluble shell for this extended-release tablet appears causative [11].
• Precipitation of water-soluble contrast material (Gastrografin) within the fundus of a man with gastric outlet obstruction is discussed [12].
• Gastric outlet obstruction as a late complication of formaldehyde ingestion: a case report [13].
• OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the rate of upper gastrointestinal (UGI) ulcer complications (bleeding, perforation, or gastric outlet obstruction) associated with celecoxib, a specific COX-2 inhibitor, compared with the rate associated with nonspecific, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) [14].
• We report the first case of H. pylori-related gastric outlet obstruction successfully treated with parenteral antibiotics [15].

Gene context of Gastric Outlet Obstruction

• OBJECTIVE: To describe the results of antrectomy with Billroth II reconstruction (A/BII) as the palliative operation for gastric outlet obstruction [16].
• We hypothesize that a transient gastric outlet obstruction and massive gastroesophageal reflux played a significant role in the etiology of this rare and alarming, but, in this case, completely reversible, syndrome [17].
• Diffuse gastric infiltration in a child with CGD is described as a cause for gastric outlet obstruction [18].
