“…This is in agreement with previous studies in which intrauterine death has been reported in non‐isolated DO32, 33. Brantberg et al , however, described two cases of intrauterine death occurring in isolated DO7. In our study mortality only occurred in the non‐isolated cases, with an incidence in the pre‐ and postnatally diagnosed subsets of 40 and 14%, respectively.…”

“…In our study mortality only occurred in the non‐isolated cases, with an incidence in the pre‐ and postnatally diagnosed subsets of 40 and 14%, respectively. The percentage in the prenatally diagnosed non‐isolated subset seems high compared with the values previously reported in the literature of between 17 and 24%2, 7. These series, however, did not differentiate between isolated and non‐isolated cases of DO.…”

“…Sonographic imaging of DO is characterized by a ‘double‐bubble’ appearance of the stomach and duodenum as a result of dilatation of these organs, and a connection between the two dilated structures can always be demonstrated. Polyhydramnios often develops during the late second or third trimester of pregnancy7.…”

The unambiguous elucidation of a new folded structure in solution may prove to be a very challenging task. The NMR protocols developed for solving the solution structures of alpha-peptides have been applied to aliphatic beta- and gamma-peptides but are not directly applicable to aromatic oligomers. In particular, the string of spin systems in an aromatic sequence cannot be reconstituted solely from correlations between protons. For aromatic oligomers, it is shown that the assignment of a large part of the 13C NMR spectrum through HMBC and HSQC experiments allows to unambiguously assign proton NMR spectra and in turn to interpret NOE correlations. This has been implemented both with quinoline- and pyridine-derived oligoamide foldamers, and should be applicable to a wide range of oligomers including various combinations of monomers. The NOE correlations allow the unambiguous solution structure elucidation of helical conformations of oligoamides derived from pyridine and quinoline monomers showing that, in these series, the solution structures correspond very well to the structures observed in the solid state.

“…The frequency of each etiology of congenital duodenal obstruction varies widely among reported surgical case series [1,2,[5][6][7][8][10][11][12], with duodenal atresia being the most commonly attributed cause [1,2,5]. Less than 5% of children with congenital duodenal obstruction have a second distal duodenal, jejuno-ileal or colonic obstruction [1,13].…”

Congenital duodenal obstruction: causes and imaging approach

2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Bilious emesis is a common cause for evaluation in pediatric radiology departments. There are several causes of congenital duodenal obstruction, most of which require elective surgical correction, but the potential of malrotation with midgut volvulus demands prompt imaging evaluation. We review the various causes of congenital duodenal obstruction with an emphasis on the approach to imaging evaluation and diagnosis.

“…This evaluation is useful in detection of the potential genetic defects and assessment of fetal prognosis. However, because of the immaturity of fetal gastric emptying, the diagnosis is usually rather late in pregnancy and most of cases are detected in the third trimester . In this situation, an invasive diagnostic test is not so urgent in most cases as it is in early gestation that facilitates pregnancy decision‐making.…”
