Abstract
Gastric volvulus is defined as the rotation of the hollow viscus around its mesentery. The classic symptoms, known as “Borchardt’s triad” consist of nonproductive vomiting, severe and constant epigastric pain, and difficulty inserting a nasogastric tube; however, these may not be present in as many as 25% of the patients. The mortality rate of 30–50 % is reported. It should be differentiated from myocardial infarction, perforated peptic ulcer, and abdominal apoplexy.
期刊介绍：
The Journal aims to publish original research and review papers on all fields of geriatrics and gerontology, including those dealing with critical care and emergency medicine.
The IJGE aims to explore and clarify the medical science and philosophy in all fields of geriatrics and gerontology, including those in the emergency and critical care medicine. The IJGE is determined not only to be a professional journal in gerontology, but also a leading source of information for the developing field of geriatric emergency and critical care medicine. It is a pioneer in Asia.
Topics in the IJGE cover the advancement of diagnosis and management in urgent, serious and chronic intractable diseases in later life, preventive medicine, long-term care of disability, ethical issues in the diseased elderly and biochemistry, cell biology, endocrinology, molecular biology, pharmacology, physiology and protein chemistry involving diseases associated with age. We did not limit the territory to only critical or emergency condition inasmuch as chronic diseases are frequently brought about by inappropriate management of acute problems.
