postpolypectomy bleeding and perforation are the major complications of colonoscopy. this report presents a rare case of colon obstruction immediately after colonoscopy. a 56-year-old man underwent colonoscopy because of 6 months lower abdominal pain. colonoscopy revealed diverticulosis and multiple small sessile polyps in sigmoid colon. biopsy samples were taken from the polyps and the procedu...

Scientific visualization tools render quantitative data into visual representations that can be analyzed and manipulated by students. But certain types of problems require more qualitative, observational data that cannot be easily represented with current visualization software. This paper describes an approach to using photographs and video as a primary data source for observational inquiry. W...

The basic objective of data visualization is to provide an efficient graphical display for summarizing and reasoning about quantitative information. Data visualization should be distinguished from other types of visualization used in political science (more general information and knowledge visualization, concept visualization, strategy and workflow visualization, metaphor visualization, etc.) ...

Although there are a number of visualization systems to choose from when analyzing data, only a few of these allow for the integration of other visualization and analysis techniques. There are even fewer visualization toolkits and frameworks from which one can develop ones own visualization applications. Even within the research community, scientists either use what they can from the available ...

Background & Objective: The role of synchronized expression pattern of cytokeratin (CK) 7 and CK20 in the prognosis of colon adenocarcinoma is unclear. The current study aimed at determining the relationship between the expression of cytokeratins 7 and 20 and prognostic factors in colon adenocarcinoma. Methods: In the current cr...

Background: Colorectal cancer is a common cancer and has a high rate of mortality and morbidity. This can be reduced by screening tests. Some of the studies have recently referred to Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) as a marker for early detection of various cancers. The aim of this study was to investigate the RDW and early detection of colorectal cancer and polyp. M...

Objective(s): Chemotherapies used to treat colon cancer might often fail due to the emergence of chemoresistance and side effects. Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) is a beneficial probiotic, whose molecular mechanisms in the prevention of colon cancer are yet to be fully understood. The present study assessed the anti-cancer effects of EcN treatments in human colorec...

Microscale devices are promising tools to overcome specific challenges within oral drug delivery. Despite the availability of advanced high-quality imaging techniques, visualization and tracking microscale in gastrointestinal (GI) tract is still a challenge. This work explores possibilities applying planar X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanning for GI rats. Microcontainers (MCs) an example tha...

colonic lipoma is a benign neoplasm that can lead to colonic obstruction but concomitant intussusception is rare in adults. in this case, colocolic intussusception due to a lipoma in the descending colon had occurred. by laparatomy, we diagnosed the problem , but reduction was impossible . so resection of the colon with mass was done and anastomosed. after surgery and 3 years follow up the pati...
