The Eurasian Journal of Medicine, 2010 In sigmoid volvulus (SV), the sigmoid colon wraps around itself and its mesentery. SV accounts for 2% to 50% of all colonic obstructions and has an interesting geographic dispersion. SV generally affects adults, and it is more common in males. The etiology of SV is multifactorial and controversial; the main symptoms are abdominal pain, distention, and ...

Factors precipitating volvulus formation in sigmoid volvulus
Turkish Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 2020 Sigmoid volvulus (SV), the wrapping of the sigmoid colon around itself, is a rare intestinal obstruction form world-wide. For this reason, the physiopathology of SV, particularly the precipitating factors, are not clearly identified. The aim of this study is to evaluate the precipitating factors in SV.The clinical records of consecutive 416 patients ...

Gut Microbiome Pilot Study of Patients With CHARGE Syndrome and Sibling Controls
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 197, Issue 8, August 2025.ABSTRACT Difficulties with feeding and digestion are common in individuals with CHARGE syndrome. Animal models with CHD7 gene variants demonstrate abnormal gut innovation and dysmotility. Our pilot study evaluated whether individuals with CHARGE syndrome have differences in their gut microbiome compared to unaffected siblings.
