This chapter describes a prospective study published in 2002 evaluating the role of octreotide in the symptomatic management of advanced cancer patients with bowel obstruction that cannot be treated surgically. The chapter describes the basics of the study, including funding, year study began, year study was published, study location, who was studied, who was excluded, how many patients, study design, study intervention, follow-up, endpoints, results, and criticism and limitations. The chapter briefly reviews other relevant studies and information, gives a summary and discusses implications, and concludes with a relevant clinical case. Topics covered include octreotide, bowel obstruction, vomiting, and abdominal distention.

The Relationship

Up to date, human urotensin II (UII) is the most potent vasoconstrictor in mammalian animals. To explore whether UII played an important role in the development of hypertension, we conducted a prospective study in Changshu city, China. The baseline investigation was carried out in 2007, and the first follow-up investigation was conducted in 2013. From the participants, we randomly obtained 2000 normotensive subjects aged 40 years and older without any severe disease at baseline and examined plasma UII and endothelin-1 (ET-1) with their blood samples at baseline. Logistic models were used to analyze the association between baseline UII, baseline ET-1, and newly occurring hypertension. In 1,819 subjects with complete data, 723 subjects developed into hypertensive in about five years. After adjusting some potential confounders, the odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for risk of hypertension comparing the highest with the lowest quartile of baseline UII was 0.888 (0.689–1.144). The role of UII in the development of hypertension was not found in the current study; therefore, further research studies should be conducted to explore the relationship between UII and hypertension.

Cause Of Pain

Background:Chronic right lower abdominal pain in children is an enigma with both diagnostic and therapeutic controversies. There are no well-defined management protocols. In this study we have tried to define the role of laparoscopy and elective appendicectomy in these children.Methods: It is a prospective study duration 2 years (2013-15), in which children with chronic right lower abdominal pain, after excluding infective causes of chronic pain all required investigations, children were selected for diagnostic laparoscopy and appendicectomy. Children were following up for relief of pain and complication related to procedure for minimum of 12 months.Results:Total 22 patients were included in study. Male: Female-14:8, average age was 9.2 years. Average duration of symptoms was 12.8 months. Investigations were not helpful in establishing the cause of pain abdomen in these children. On laparoscopy, appendices were found macroscopically abnormal in 14/22 cases, of which 12 show chronic inflammatory changes of histopathology of which 11 showed complete improvement of symptoms in follow up. Eight cases in which appendix were found macroscopically normal, in 6 cases appendicectomy was done. There were no procedure related complications.Conclusions:Laparoscopy in chronic right lower abdominal pain in children with persistent mesenteric lymphadenopathy is useful for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Appendicectomy should be done even if it is macroscopically normal.
