Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
This chapter includes a synthesis of data regarding iatrogenic injuries of the gastrointestinal tract. In the first section, medical drug-induced lesions are analyzed, while the following sections refer to the diagnostic and/or therapeutic interventions that involve the gastrointestinal segments. ADRs come in a wide spectrum of manifestations, from mucosal inflammation to severe lesions, such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome. The most common agents involved in severe reactions are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are responsible for the occurrence of cystic polyposis of the stomach. Intestinal iatrogenic disorders primarily involve enterocolitis, but strange complications, such as bezoar formation or intestinal rupture, are also reported. Complications relating to endoscopic examinations, laparotomy and laparoscopy are also presented in detail.
