Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy has become the standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer. Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy not only can reduce tumor size and recurrence, but also increase the tumor resection rate and anus retention rate with very slight side effect. Comparing with preoperative chemotherapy, preoperative chemoradiotherapy can further reduce the local recurrence rate and d...

L-glutamine (L-GLN) is considered a nonessential amino acid that has a variety of applications in naturopathic medicine. It has been postulated that in the critically ill patient, GLN becomes an essential amino acid for recovery, restoration, and repair at a cellular level. Mucositis is an intestinal mucosal damage of the gastrointestinal tract--mouth, throat, stomach, intestines, rectum, and a...

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections worldwide. Exposure to HPV is very common, and an estimated 65%-100% of sexually active adults are exposed to HPV in their lifetime. The majority of HPV infections are asymptomatic, but there is a 10% chance that individuals will develop a persistent infection and have an increased risk of developing a carcinom...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to describe the sonographic appearance of the fetal anus and its usefulness in diagnosis of anal atresia. METHODS An anomaly scan was performed in 13,150 patients over 8 years. Gestational ages ranged from 16 to 38 weeks. A tangential scan of the fetal perineum was performed.

Per rectum, a hard irregular mass chiefly occupying the posterior wall of the rectum and anus could be felt. It was continuous with the hard mass forming the fistula outside the anus. The growth was partly movable from side to ...

The fate of the blastopore during development in the bilaterian ancestor is currently not well understood. In deuterostomes, the blastopore forms the anus, but its fate in protostome groups is variable. This variability, combined with an absence of information from key taxa, hampers the reconstruction of the ancestral developmental mode of the Protostomia and the Bilateria. The blastopore fate ...

The grasping tie is an original and mechanical tool, conceived and planned to be used in digestive surgery to do the equivalent of a purse string. Its use is conceived to make easier the mechanical anastomosis in the more difficult situations as the oesophago-jejunal or the very low colo-rectal ones, as in the example of the presented paper. A thin ribbon of nylon will be progressively tightene...
