 | | Follow-up care: Surgical excision of gastrointestinal lesions is generally curative; however, patient follow-up is important after the treatment of certain types of duplications. | | | Metaplastic changes that have been reported in untreated gastrointestinal duplications can be prevented, depending on the location of the duplication, by appropriate surgical intervention. | | | The outcome of surgical (or medical) management of gastrointestinal duplications is favorable. |

| | Tomsk Autonomous Electrostimulator of Gastrointestinal Tract |
| | Its application allows for non-traumetic and non-medicamentous cleansing of the slag and diffuse thickenings of the gastrointestinal tract by activating its degraded areas, restoring its motor-evacuation activity, and eventually contributes to increased the patient's vital tonus (tone) and improving his/her psychological condition as well as sexual potency. | | | Counter-indications are: Gastrointestinal bleeding, mechanical intestinal obstruction, cicatricial stenosis of esophagus, stomach, or intestine. | | | In the case of individual application, AES GIT should not be used during pregnancy, constipation, or in individuals who have a pacemaker or other bioelectronic device implanted in the body. |

| | Gastrointestinal tract |
| | Because the gastrointestinal tract is not visualised with routine radiographic techniques, contrast media, which are opaque to radiation, must be added in some way. | | | This technique results in a moderate distension of the organ and thus allows a very detailed and precise imaging of both normal and pathological structures. | | | Ordinary sonography has a very limited use and MRI is not indicated with today's technique. |

| | The Gastrointestinal Tract in Scleroderma |
| | The gut or the intestinal tract is involved in, perhaps, 80% to 100% of patients with the systemic form of scleroderma, as we will describe it. | | | This is important clinically because some of the drugs like Propulsid®, or Cisapride®, or a drug called Reglan® or Urecholine® can act at various stages, especially the early stages of the illness. | | | Your stomach starts to work, your bowels start to chum and move things through, and a lot of these reflexes are lost early in the illness. |
