PURPOSE: To assess the effects of Roux-en-Y jejunal limb length on gastric emptying and enterogastric reflux. METHODS: Seventy male Wistar rats were submitted to antrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction and then were divided into two groups of 35 animals. Group A, short limb (7.5 cm) and Group B, standard limb (15 cm). Group A and B were subdivided into five subgroups each in order to study enterogastric reflux at 30 and 60 minutes and to evaluate gastric emptying at 5, 10 and 15 minutes. In order to measure gastric emptying and enterogastric reflux, radiotracers 99m Tc-Phytate and 99m Tc-DISIDA were respectively used. RESULTS: For gastric emptying, the radiotracer concentration was lower in Group A than in Group B after five minutes. The enterogastric reflux was present, but there were no significant differences between enterogastric reflux indexes concerning both A and B Groups. CONCLUSION: A standard Roux limb, besides being unable to protect the stomach from the enterogastric reflux, may become a functional barrier for gastric emptying.

AbstractAchondroplasia is a rare genetic disease representing the most common form of short-limb dwarfism. It is characterized by bone growth abnormalities that are well characterized and by a strong predisposition to abdominal obesity for which causes are unknown. Despite having aroused interest at the end of the 20 h century, there are still only very little data available on this aspect of the pathology. Today, interest is rising again, and some studies are now proposing mechanistic hypotheses and guidance for patient management. These data confirm that obesity is a major health problem in achondroplasia necessitating an early yet complex clinical management. Anticipatory care should be directed at identifying children who are at high risk to develop obesity and intervening to prevent the metabolic complications in adults. In this review, we are regrouping available data characterizing obesity in achondroplasia and we are identifying the current tools used to monitor obesity in these patients.

In this paper, the author takes on the experiment of low cyclic load and analyzes the tenacity and ductility characteristic of the specimen, and simulates the elastic-plastic failure modes of T-shaped short-limb shear walls by using the finite element software ABAQUS and applying the damage plasticity model to select the proper unit type. Results indicate that the mechanical behavior of T-shaped short-limb shear walls under the condition of horizontal load force may be accurately simulated by the method proposed in this paper.

Congenital ball-and-socket ankle deformity is a complex pediatric orthopedic deformity that usually is associated with a short limb, a short fibula, distal tibial dysplasia, rearfoot coalition, and ray deficiency. The author reviews the literature on this orthopedic complex, presents two cases, and discusses the practical clinical management of this syndrome.
