ILEUM [17 records]

Record 1 2024-11-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry
CONT

Gastric inhibitory polypeptide(GIP), also called glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, is a 42-amino-acid peptide secreted by mucosal K cells, predominantly found in the duodenum and jejunum and to a lesser extent in the ileum and colon. GIP is released into the circulation following a mixed meal and also ingestion of glucose, fat, or amino acids. Fat ingestion appears to be a more potent stimulator of GIP secretion than carbohydrate in humans.

OBS

[Le peptide insulinotrope dépendant du glucose est un peptide] de 42 acides aminés sécrété par les cellules K du duodénum en période post-prandiale.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Bowels
  • Surgery
CONT

A Roux limb may be formed in multiple different gastrointestinal surgeries, including bariatric surgery, e. g. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass [and] biliopancreatic diversion... In these procedures, the small bowel is divided at some point. This leaves two components of small bowel : a proximal component connected to the stomach, pancreas, and biliary system [and] a distal component connected to the terminal ileum and colon. The end of the distal component is dragged up and connected(anastomosed) to the remnant stomach... This is the Roux limb. It accepts incoming food and transmits it from the gastric remnant to the colon.

Record 5 2015-01-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genitourinary Surgery
CONT

Ileal conduit use of a segment of the ileum for the diversion of urinary flow from the ureters. The segment is resected from the intestine with nerves and blood supply intact. The proximal end of the segment is closed, forming a pouch, and the ends of the ureters are sutured to it. The distal end is brought to the outside of the abdominal wall and effaced to form a stoma. The remaining ends of the small intestine are anastomosed to reestablish bowel continuity, the ileal loop no longer being a part of the intestinal tract.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chirurgie génito-urinaire
CONT

L'urostomie la plus classique est en fait une urétérostomie transiléale (opération de Bricker, nom du chirurgien qui le premier en 1950 réalisa ce type d'intervention). Les uretères sont implantés non pas à la peau elle-même, mais bien dans une anse de l'iléon qui a préalablement été isolée et abouchée par une suture au tégument. L'urétérostomie de Bricker est classiquement située à la fosse iliaque droite.
