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.
With malrotation, the cecum and appendix can be in the upper right side of the abdomen or even toward the middle of the abdomen. The first part of the small intestine is also abnormally located in the cases of malrotation. More specifically, an area called the âLigament of Treitzâ is in an abnormal location.
