Adult necrotizing enterocolitis and non occlusive mesenteric ischemia are rare causes of acute abdomen in adults. Accurate preoperative diagnosis is often difficult in these cases. Here, four cases of massive bowel necrosis with varying segments of small and large bowel involvement are described, all ...
Although this infection pattern is commonly seen in adults, it is rarely seen in the neonatal population. Herein, we describe a patient who developed extensive necrotizing fasciitis of the abdominal wall after intestinal resection for necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).关键词: Necrotizing fasciitis ...
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a life-threatening disease predominantly affecting premature and very low birth weight infants resulting in inflammation and necrosis of the small bowel and colon and potentially leading to sepsis, peritonitis, perforation, and death. Numerous research efforts have been...
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a severe, currently untreatable intestinal disease that predominantly affects preterm infants and is driven by poorly characterized inflammatory pathways. Here, human and murine NEC intestines exhibit an unexpected predominance of type 3/TH17 polarization. In murine NEC, ...

In young children (age ≤ 3 years), a small bowel stoma or colostomy might be necessary in the treatment of congenital intestinal diseases or abdominal sepsis [1,2]. Such diseases include necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), intestinal atresia, Hirschsprung disease, gastroschisis, meconium ileus or pe...
EPIDEMIC OF NECROTIZING ENTEROCOLITIS: ITS POSSIBLE VIRAL ORIGIN C. Sureau Department of Obstetrics and Reproductive Physiopathology, Universite Rene Descartes Clinique Universitaire Baudelocque Paris, France INTRODUCTION During the period 1978 to 1980, an epidemic of necro- tizing enterocolitis was ...
Prevention of necrotizing enterocolitis in low-birth-weight infants by IgA-IgG feeding. Prevention of necrotizing enterocolitis in low-birth-weight infants by IgA-IgG feeding.In a randomized clinical trial, we evaluated the efficacy of an oral immunoglobulin preparation (73 percent IgA and 26 percent...
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a severe inflammatory and necrotizing disease of the intestine that primarily affects the neonates, particularly premature infants. It has a high incidence of approximately 8.9% in extremely preterm infants, with a mortality rate ranging from 20 to 30%. In recent ...
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a severe disease affecting intestines, especially in premature children, potentially leading toperitonitisand death[1]. The association of infectious, vascular phenomena and the immaturity of the immune system are often reported to explain its multifactorial pathogenesis[...
