Colonic drug delivery can facilitate access to unique therapeutic targets and has the potential to enhance drug bioavailability whilst reducing off-target effects. Delivering drugs to the colon requir...
The etiology of colonic emergencies includes a wide-ranging and diverse set of pathologic conditions. Fortunately, for the surgeon treating a patient with one of these emergencies, the surgical manage...
Proper bowel preparation is of paramount importance for enhancing adenoma detection rates and reducing postcolonoscopic colorectal cancer risk. Despite recommendations from gastroenterology societies ...
While a majority of outpatients may achieve cleanliness with standard cleansing protocols, dealing with hard-to-prepare patients remains a challenge. Rescue strategies based on AI are promising, but s...
To improve the antitumor effect of combined capecitabine (CAP) and osimertinib (OSI) therapy and quickly and efficiently reduce tumor volumes for preoperative chemotherapy, we designed a compound CAP ...
This study aimed to evaluate the colonic motility of slow transit constipation (STC) patients using high-resolution colonic manometry (HRCM) and classify the patients' subtypes to instruct treatment b...
This study enrolled one hundred and twenty-six STC patients and 35 volunteers (healthy controls, HCs). Ambulatory HRCM was performed in all participants by placing a 36-sensor water-perfused probe up ...
The occurrence rate and times of high amplitude propagated contraction (HAPC) in STC patients were lower than HCs. As for the HAPC contraction characteristics, the mean velocity was similar, contracti...
HRCM serves as a valuable tool in characterizing, classifying the pathophysiology, and guiding clinical management for STC....
A male newborn was investigated for history of antenatal hyperechogenic colon (HEC) detected at 32 weeks of gestation. In the first week of life, urinary ultrasonography showed nephrolithiasis. Urinar...
Colon and rectal cancer imaging has traditionally been performed to assess for distant disease (typically lung and liver metastases) and to assess the resectability of the primary tumor. With technolo...
Breast cancer metastasis to the colon is exceedingly rare, with only 17 reported cases in the literature thus far. This report describes a 67-year-old female who presented to the Emergency Department ...
The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma Colon Organ Injury Scale (OIS) was updated in 2020 to include a separate OIS for penetrating colon injuries and included imaging criteria. In this mu...
This was a retrospective study of patients presenting to 12 Level 1 trauma centers between 2016 and 2020 with penetrating colon injuries and Abbreviated Injury Scale score of <3 in other body regions....
We identified 573 patients with penetrating colon injuries. Patients were young and predominantly male; 79% suffered a gunshot injury, 11% had a grade V destructive injury, 19% required ≥6 U of transf...
This is the largest study to date of penetrating colon injuries and the first multicenter validation of the new OIS specific to these injuries. While imaging criteria alone lacked strong predictive va...
Prognostic and Epidemiological; Level III....
Coffee and caffeinated products have been widely consumed for many centuries. Previous adult studies have suggested that both coffee and decaffeinated beverages induce colonic motility. However, no st...
A prospective study of pediatric patients undergoing standard colonic motility testing that were able to consume caffeinated coffee, decaffeinated coffee, and caffeine tablet during colonic manometry....
Thirty-eight patients were recruited, 22 of which were excluded, 11 due to abnormal studies (no HAPC seen in response to intraluminal response to bisacodyl), and 11 due to inability to consume all stu...
Caffeine is indeed a colonic stimulant; however, other components of caffeinated and non-caffeinated beverages likely induce colonic response and require further evaluation for possible use as a colon...
