Superior mesenteric artery syndrome is a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal obstruction,and is characterized by 3 rd duodenal obstruction between the abdominal aorta and the superior mesenteric *** symptoms are postprandial epigastric pain,nausea,vomiting,and weight loss,or acute upper gastrointestinal *** herein describe an unusual presentation,with jaundice due to compression of the common bile duct by the gastric obstruction and dilated duodenum.

Experimental models of traumatic brain injury (TBI) provide a useful tool for understanding the cerebral metabolic changes induced by this pathological condition. Here, we report on the time course of changes in cerebral metabolites after TBI using high-resolution proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). Extracts from adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to fluid lateral percussion and were then examined by NMR at 3, 24 and 48 h after the injury. A metabolomic approach was carried out to identify the cerebral metabolites impacted by the TBI and their quantitative temporal changes. Lactate, valine and ascorbate were the three first metabolites to be significantly modified after TBI. The quantitative elevation for these compounds last for the entire experimental time explored. Within 24 hours post-TBI, a significant elevation in choline-derivates, alanine and glucose were also measured. On the other hand, N-acetyl aspartate, a neuronal marker, and myo- inositol, an important organic osmolyte in the mammalian brain, were not significantly impacted in the chronic phase of TBI.
