A study was carried out to investigate nitrogen metabolism in response to cecal ligation and colostomy in chickens. We used colostomized plus ceca-ligated chickens fed a low protein diet or a low protein diet supplemented with urea. When both types of diets were fed, nitrogen balance and utilization tended to increase by cecal ligation while total nitrogen excretion tended to decrease. Colostom...

Background: Colostomy is an artificial opening made in the large gut to divert faeces and flatus to the exterior OBJECTIVE: To compare the frequency of anastomotic leak in early versus delayed oral feeding after elective colostomy closure. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This randomized controlled study was conducted in Surgical department Hayatabad Medical Complex Peshawar from June 2012 to June 2014 af...

abstract we had two cases of female complicated anorectal and genital malformations which underwent total mobilization of all structures of perinea to midline. case1: a 6 month old female with skin covered bladder, pubic diastasis, ectopic anus, vagina, and urethra to the right side of median cleft and lipoma on the left side. closure of pubic diastasis with iliac osteotomy and double barrel si...

The progress of adaptive changes in the left colon after diverting colostomy was studied in rats using stereological techniques. Standardised segments of left colon proximal and distal to the colostomy was examined after 0, 1, 2, 4, or 12 weeks. In excluded colon the mucosal weight was reduced by 37% (p < 0.01) and the luminal surface area by 47% (p < 0.01) after four weeks and reached a steady...

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the effect of FOCUS-PDCA procedure on self-care ability patients undergoing colostomy for rectal cancer. Method: A nonrandomized controlled trial 160 with cancer colostomy. The control group received routine nursing intervention, and observation procedure. two groups was investigated 1 week month after surgery, a comparative analysis made between groups. Resul...

BACKGROUND Carcinomas occurring at colostomy sites are rare, and most of these are metachronous colorectal cancers. The median time between colostomy and development of a carcinoma at a colostomy site is 22 years, which exceeds the length of the recommended follow-up period. We report a rare case of a carcinoma of the transverse colon occurring at a colostomy site in a patient without a history...

The study aimed to analyze the perception of patients with colostomy in the use of the collection bag. It was conducted a descriptive qualitative approach, on the Center for Integrated Health Lineu Araujo, Teresina-PI, Brazil. Ten clients with colostomy bag participated in the survey. Data were generated through semi-structured interviews. Content analysis has revealed the feelings, the changes...

We examined whether trait disgust sensitivity predicts well-being in colostomy patients, and whether disgust predicts stigmatizing attitudes about colostomy in non-patients. 195 patients with a colostomy returned a mailed survey including measures of disgust sensitivity, life satisfaction, mood, and feelings of being stigmatized. We also conducted an internet-survey of a non-patient sample (n =...
