The answer to yesterday's medical challenge is....drumroll.....#4 - Sugar
Plain granulated sugar can be applied to the mucosa of the prolapsed structure (such as the ileum in this case) to promote the osmotic shift of fluid out of the edematous tissue. In this case, within 2 minutes, the edema had diminished sufficiently to allow spontaneous reduction of the prolapse.
Thanks to all who made guesses. Brilliant readers, all of you!

Thanks for the interesting challenge
and education on it.
The ONLY reason I didn't answer is because I'd already gotten it WRONG on the NEJM site! :)
Thanks as always!
gradydoctor: You are an honest reader. I got it wrong too...over and over.
KM: You're welcome
It's very Interesting and Informative Challenge for Medical. I am really impressed by this Great Challenge.
Hi there. Nice blog. You have shared useful information. Keep up the good work! This blog is really interesting and gives good details. autoclaves, medical autoclave.
Here, I do not actually imagine it may work.
This will not truly have success, I consider so.
Hello, I love reading through your blog, I wanted to leave a little comment to support you and wish you a good continuation. Wish you best of luck for all your best efforts. autoclave sterilization, portable suction pump.
