Giant diverticulum of the sigmoid colon

International Journal of Colorectal Disease, 1995
Abstract Giant diverticulum is a rare entity and few cases have so far been reported. It is nearly always associated with diverticular disease. There are some theories about the formation of a giant diverticulum but none is conclusive. Associated symptoms are similar to those of diverticular disease but, as with the patient reported here,

Mesh Fixation to the Sacral Promontory From the Left Side of the Mesosigmoid: Two Cases of Robot‐Assisted Sacrocolpopexy for Persistent Descending Mesocolon

IJU Case Reports, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Persistent descending mesocolon is a congenital fixation abnormality where the left‐sided colon deviates medially. When significantly displaced to the right, it may affect sacrocolpopexy. We report two cases of persistent descending mesocolon in which robot‐assisted sacrocolpopexy was successfully performed with mesh fixation to ...

Recent advances in understanding and managing diverticulitis. [PDF]

, 2018
In the past few decades, the increasing socioeconomic burden of acute diverticulitis (AD) has become evident, and with the growth of the population age, this significant economic impact will likely continue to rise. Furthermore, recent evidence showed an

Expression Profile of Serum CircFUNDC1 and CircUHRF1 Can Differentiate Between Colorectal Cancer and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease)

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
(A) Post hoc pairwise comparisons between the four studied groups regarding the log2 of serum fold change of CircFUNDC1. There were significant differences between CRC, UC, or CD and controls. p values (Controls vs. UC = < 0.001, Controls vs. CD = < 0.001, Controls vs. CRC = < 0.001, UC vs. CD = 1.000, UC vs. CRC = 0.194, CD vs. CRC = 0.255).

Stercoral Perforation of the Sigmoid Colon

International Journal of Gerontology, 2008
SUMMARYConstipation is prevalent among geriatrics living in nursing homes. This is a problem particularly among those with limited mobility and under multiple medications for various illnesses. We report a patient who suffered a stercoral perforation of the rectosigmoid colon as a direct complication of constipation.

Changes in neuromuscular structure and functions of human colon during ageing are region-dependent [PDF]

, 2018
Objective: To determine if human colonic neuromuscular functions decline with increasing age.Design: Looking for non-specific changes in neuromuscular function, a standard burst of electrical field stimulation (EFS) was used to evoke neuronally mediated (

Defining normal bowel wall thickness in children with inflammatory bowel disease in deep remission: A multicenter study on behalf of the pediatric committee of the International Bowel Ultrasound Group (IBUS)

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Intestinal ultrasound (IUS) is a noninvasive tool for detecting and monitoring disease activity in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Remission values for bowel wall thickness (BWT) are extrapolated from adult data. We aimed to define normal BWT in children with IBD in sustained deep remission.

The Association of Anisakiasis in the Ascending Colon with Sigmoid Colon Cancer: CT Colonography Findings [PDF]

, 2008
The association of anisakiasis of the colon with colon cancer is rare and difficult to diagnose. Only one case of this type has been reported to date. In this study, we report a case of synchronous colon cancer and colonic anisakiasis.

Effect of glycerin on colonic motility in children

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Colonic manometry (CM) involves measurement of colonic neuromuscular activity and administration of a stimulant laxative, most commonly bisacodyl, which is part of the study protocol. Glycerin is another laxative used in the treatment of constipation.
