Herniation of the gallbladder through the foramen of Winslow.

A rare case of herniation of the gallbladder through the foramen of Winslow is presented. There are only six surgically proven previously reported cases. This condition should be suspected where symptoms suggest gallbladder disease in the presence of normal functioning gallbladder. A simultaneous cholecystogram and an upper gastrointestinal study is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. A cholecystectomy with plication of the foramen of Winslow is the suggested treatment.

Effect of lactulose, neomycin and antacid on colonic pH recorded continuously with an implanted electrode.

Colonic pH was continuously monitored by a pH electrode implanted in the transverse colon of rats over a 24-hour period. Lactulose significantly reduced the colonic pH to 5.37 +/- .39 from a fasting value of 6.77 +/- .75. Pretreatment with neomycin or concomitant use of a nonabsorbable antacid prevented lactulose-induced reduction in the colonic pH. The clinical implication of the study is that combined use of lactulose with neomycin or high doses of non-absorbable antacids in the treatment of chronic portasystemic encephalopathy may be undesirable.
