a 47 years old lady presented with repeated intermittent, colicky, left upper, and periumblical abdominal pain associated with nausea and vomiting since two years prior to admission. each episode of the pain spontaneously subsided after bilious vomiting. the patient had no history of surgery, abdominal trauma or intra-abdominal infection, weight loss or previous history for small bowel obstruct...

background: besides medical therapy, surgical interventions plays an important role in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (ibd), but they also involve complications and advantages. this study was undertaken to determine the characteristics and outcome of surgery in patients with ibd. â  methods: all the files of the patients admitted in nemazee and faghihi hospitals with the final diag...

background irritable bowel syndrome is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders characterized by chronic abdominal pain, altered bowel habits or changes in stool consistency. unfortunately, no specific treatments for relieving  ibs symptoms have been suggested yet. this pilot study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the cumin extract, a kind of herbal used in the treatment of ga...

external exposed radiation may play an important role in pathogens of irritable bowel syndrome (ibs), although is thought to arise due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. the result is dysregulated immune responses due to alteration in the gut microbiota population and the subsequent development of gut inflammation. it has recently been shown that the effect of ionizing radia...

irritable bowel syndrome (ibs) is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders particularly affecting the quality of life (qol). evaluating qol in ibs patients is a valuable method of defining a psychobiological pattern of disease. various disease specific and general instruments are now available to measure health-related qol (hrqol) in ibs patients. though, no comparison has been made be...

ulcerative colitis and crohn's disease are chronic, relapsing, inflammatory conditions defined by their phenotypic features. family studies have identified a clear genetic influence on disease susceptibility and expression. molecular studies have identified specific genes that predispose individuals to the development of inflammatory bowel disease. some of these genes are specific to either ulc...

Introduction: Myocardial perfusion SPECTby 99mTc-Sestamibi and 99mTc-Tetrofosmin radiopharmaceuticals usually presents a false significant increase in the radiotracer uptake in the inferior myocardium due to the uptake in organs such as liver, bowel, stomach and biliary system. The present study evaluated a suitable Slit angle for differentiating extra-car...

Abstract Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of inflammatory conditions of the colon and small intestine that may have critical consequences on patient’s quality of life (QOL). Many disease-specific QOL tools have been developed recently. The McMaster Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) is one of them. The aim of this study was to translate into Persian and eval...

  Abstract   Gallstone ileus is a rare complication of cholelithiasis found in less than 0.5% of   patients. It is an uncommon cause of small bowel obstruction, accounting for 1% to   3% of all mechanical bowel obstructions and over 25% of nonstrangulated bowel obstructions in patients older than 65 years with a female predominance.   We report a 60-year-old woman who was referred to our hospit...

 ABSTRACT Background: The loop colostomy is one of the most popular techniques used as a protective maneuver for a distal anastomosis and/or temporary fecal diversion. We are introducing the use of a full thickness skin bridge under the large bowel instead of a glass rod which alleviates problems such as protrusion of the large bowel, retraction of the bowel into the abdomen after removing the ...
