A Retrospective Study on Use of Neutrophil‐Lymphocyte Ratio as a Prognostic Measurement to Assess Acute Diverticulitis

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Graphical abstract representation of Neutrophil‐lymphocyte ratio use as a prognostic marker in acute diverticulitis. ABSTRACT Background Acute diverticulitis (AD) is a common surgical condition and the Neutrophil‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an emerging biomarker ratio used to guide its management.

Difference in Clinical Features between Right- and Left-Sided Acute Colonic Diverticulitis

Scientific Reports, 2020
Right colonic diverticulitis (RCD) and left colonic diverticulitis (LCD) may have different clinical features due to the different embryologic origins and anatomical locations of each colon.

Prolonged Gastrointestinal Transit Times and Dysmotility in m.3243A>G Mitochondrial Disease

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Carriers of m.3243A>G mitochondrial disease have impaired mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production. Our findings indicate that patients exhibit gastrointestinal dysmotility as assessed by the wireless motility capsule SmartPill. This indicates a critical role of mitochondrial ATP in normal gastrointestinal function.

Utility of Cytomegalovirus Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction in Tissue Biopsy for the Diagnosis of Cytomegalovirus Gastrointestinal Disease Among Solid Organ Transplant Recipients

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Gastrointestinal (GI) cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is an important cause of morbidity after solid organ transplantation (SOT), and diagnosis mainly relies on histopathology of GI tissue biopsies. CMV detection by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) on tissue biopsy is not routinely performed, but potentially holds many ...

Acute Diverticulitis of the Left Colon: Value of the Initial CT and Timing of Elective Colectomy [PDF]

, 2018
Computed Tomography is undeniably the most useful tool to confirm the suspected diagnosis of acute left-colonic diverticulitis and to objectively grade its severity into moderate diverticulitis (no signs of colonic perforation) and severe diverticulitis (

Updated evidence on epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment for colonic diverticular bleeding

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
Abstract Since 2020, multiple large‐scale studies (CODE BLUE‐J) in Japan have accelerated the accumulation of evidence on colonic diverticular bleeding (CDB). This review summarizes the latest findings regarding CDB epidemiology and endoscopic hemostasis.

A Wireless Soft Optical Blood Sensor for Colonoscopy

Advanced Sensor Research, Volume 4, Issue 8, August 2025.
This works presents an “add‐on” wireless soft optical blood sensor for the traditional colonoscopy. It can reliably detect bleeding behind the colonoscope's distal tip camera via optical absorption, without optical fibers, and wirelessly transmit data to the processor.
