A hiatal hernia occurs when part of the stomach bulges into the chest. It can cause severe heartburn but is treatable.
EXCRETORY UROGRAPHY IN PATIENTS PREPARED BY SIMETHICON (ESPUMISAN Â® ) Espumisan Â® is one of the final preparations for oral administration that eliminates gases from the gastrointestinal tract. The drug is in the form of soft capsules gelatin. Each capsule contains 40 mg of simethicon. Espumisan Â® works by dissolving gas bubbles in the chyme, which are then absorbed through the intestinal tract wall or eliminated in the form of gas fluid.
Uric acid must be excreted because it cannot be metabolized. Uric acid output should be between 0.8 and 1g/day if the patient is on an ordinary diet. Increased elimination is observed after ingestion of proteins and nitrogenous foods, after exercise, after administration of cytotoxic agents, and in gout and leukemia.
