COLO notes

x ∈ Σ∗ is a sequence from the alphabet Σ, xi is the ith symbol, where p(xi) is a distribution over Σ independent of i. (Actually, a full model of the empirical distribution would also have to include a model of the length distribution P (n). But let’s neglect that.) On his third level, he distinguished different p(xi) for different parts of the sequence. Distinguishing different p(xi) for every...

Colo-pleural fistula.

A case of non-traumatic colo-pleural fistula is recorded for the first time as the cause of a long-standing pleural empyema. The patient was treated with drainage, antibiotics and parenteral nutrition. The fistula was the result of a diverticulitis coli and/or a pancreatitis.

Colo-ovarian fistula

Colo-ovarian fistula is a rare entity. The case of a 54-year-old female with a colo-ovarian fistula is presented. We describe our experience in managing this complication of diverticulitis and propose a workup and treatment plan. Initial imaging and diagnostic studies are described. En-bloc resection of the sigmoid colon and ovary was performed. A review of the literature is presented.

Bioengineering of Colo-Rectal Tissue

Meat and colo-rectal cancer.

In early epidemiological studies of diet and cancer the stress was on the search for causal factors. Population (ecological) studies tended to show a strong correlation between meat intake, particularly red meat, and the risk of colo-rectal cancer. They also tended to show meat to be strongly inversely correlated with cancers of the stomach and oesophagus and liver. Early case-control studies t...
