## Summary This study explores the use of ultrasound in the management of patients with portacaval anastomosis. Ten patients were studied; in 8 of these the status of the anastomosis was well demonstrated. It is suggested that ultrasound should be the initial investigation to determine the patency

## Abstract Patients who had portacaval shunts were examined both before and after surgery. In the majority of cases, it was possible to detect the portcaval shunt by actually demonstrating the site of anastomosis. There was dilatation of the vena cava just cephalad to the site of the anastomosis d
Standardization of a therapeutic approach for ascites due to chronic liver diseaee was proepectively tried in 100 patients. The four pragreeoive steps were: I-relative bed rest ascrociated to withdrawal of toxic agents, and restriction of salt (40 mEq) and water (1.OOOmi per day) for 6 to 7 days. In
## Abstract Fifteen cases of circumferential gastric antral disease identified by upper gastrointestinal (GI) series over a 12βmonth period were studied by grayscale ultrasound. In 93 per cent of the patients studied, a characteristic ovoid anechoic area containing a dense central collection of ech
In a series of experiments, rats were subjected to end-to-side portacaval shunts using either suture or nonsuture surgical procedures. Rats were maintained on cereal-based or purified diets in pellet form. All rats recovered preoperative body weights within the experimental periods; however, recover
