Background and Objectives: The etiology, pathophysiology, nomenclature and clinical manifes-tation of solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS) is poorly understood. Aim: To examine the pathology of mucosal changes and clinical features of this syndrome. Materials and Methods: The mucosal biopsies of 19 pati...

Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic lichenoid inflammatory disorder of the skin, mucosa and appendages. LP classically characterized by presence rich infiltration T cells, which migrate in upper part dermis, arranged band-like pattern. Different sub types disease have been so far described. Albeit clinically well defined, still represents therapeutic enigma. Especially with regard to mucosal or sca...

Persistent colonic inflammation increases risk for cancer, but mucosal appearance on conventional endoscopy correlates poorly with histology. Here we demonstrate the use of a flexible silver halide fiber to collect mid-infrared absorption spectra and an interval model to distinguish colitis from normal mucosa in dextran sulfate sodium treated mice. The spectral regime between 950 and 1800 cm(-1...

Colonic atresias are the rare malformations of the colon and constitute about 1.7 to 15% of all gastrointestinal (GI) atresias. A 6-month old infant presented with recurrent episodes of sub-acute intestinal obstruction since birth. During the index admission, patient had clinical signs of complete intestinal obstruction. The patient was operated and type I sigmoid-colon atresia found which on f...

abomasal ulcer is a digestive disorder in domestic ruminants. there are several forms of ulcers which produce different clinical signs. for determination of lesion prevalence, abomasa of 200 buffaloes were examined grossly and in some cases, histopathologically. one hundred and twenty seven examined abomasa (63.5%) had ulcerative lesions. all ulcers (except in 2 cases) were classified as type 1...

Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a rarely seen neoplasm of plasma cells which may be locally destructive by involving sub mucosal soft tissues of upper respiratory tract but without syste mic dissemination. It comprises less than 1% of head and neck malignities. Clinical presentation depends on tumor’s effect and its involvement site. Diagnosis is made with histo­ pathologic examination of ...

Argon plasma coagulation (APC) is a safe method of electrocoagulation [1, 2]. How− ever, perforation can occasionally occur after the development of submucosal em− physema: contact of the probe with the mucosa, thermal injury, and high argon flow can all lead to an escape of gas through the gastrointestinal tract wall. Pneumoperitoneum developing after APC can be asymptomatic and heal spon− tan...
