Hello,
I am a grad student in a MBS program. I am conducting market research for a group project and we need to get numerous GI's opinions from a survey. Does anyone have any advice about how to get contacts to take the survey?
Thanks,
Andrew
Only if you drop a really big deuce at the right moment.I have a weird question as a first year medical student. Would the peritoneal cavity be considered a vacuum, devoid of air? on other words, in the same sense that a traumatic pneumothorax disrupts the pleural cavities vacuum, is the same true for the peritoneum? thanks
Sublime, you are correct. The peritoneal cavity is a potential space - certainly no air in there. When air gets in (pneumoperitoneum), it's usually due to trauma or visceral perforation but occasionally gas-forming organisms etc. and you might see air under the diaphragm on an erect CXR/AXR.I have a weird question as a first year medical student.
