Our aim was to determine GSTT1 expression levels in left colon tumors and paired normal tissue in order to identify specific alterations in GSTT1 mRNA levels. Alterations in GSTT1 expression in twenty-four left- sided colon tumors and paired cancer free tissue were determined by qRT-PCR. Significant fold changes were determined with t-test. When compared with cancer free tissue, left colon canc...

The effect of ispaghula husk on colonic motility of the right and left side was examined in 10 patients with left sided diverticular disease using an untethered pressure sensitive radiotelemetry capsule. After treatment, ispaghula husk reduced mouth to rectum transit by a median of 8.8 hours and the time to midtransverse colon by five hours. In the right colon there was an increase in the media...

This report discusses a case of 15 years oldyoung boy who surprisingly presented late with huge congenital diaphragmatic hernia having stomach, part colon, small bowel, spleen, tail pancreas and left kidney.

This work is aimed to describe linearly expand-contract plastic ellipsoids given via quadratic form of a bounded positively defined self-adjoint operator in terms its spectrum.Let $Y$ be metric space and $F\colon Y\to Y$ map. $F$ called non-expansive if it does not increase distance between points the $Y$. We say that subset $M$ normed $X$ (briefly an LEC-plastic) every linear $T\colon X \to X$...
