October 13th, 2009. 1  Has anyone looked into the ph balance connection - ie. we are all probably very acidic (around 4 or 5) on the ph scale rather than what is considered normal (7). According to the books I've read on the subject, dark, green, leafy vegetables seem to be the only way to get alkaline again.
Pathophysiology. Intestinal malrotation occurs due to disruption of the normal embryologic development of the bowel. Understanding of normal abdominal development aids in the understanding of the etiology of the clinical findings seen with malrotation. The alimentary tract develops from the embryologic foregut, midgut, and hindgut.
Epidemiology. A midgut volvulus of malrotated bowel can potentially occur at any age but in approximately 75% of cases is within a month of birth 4,6, most within the first week 3, and 90% within 1 year 6.Typically the neonate is entirely normal for a period before suddenly presenting with bilious vomiting. midgut volvulus of malrotated bowel can potentially occur at any age but in approximately 75% of cases is within a month of birth 4,6, most within the first week 3, and 90% within 1 year 6.
