Abstract Aim To describe the long‐term outcomes of adipose‐mesenchymal stem cells, platelet‐rich plasma and endorectal advancement flaps in patients with perineal Crohn's disease. Method This was a single‐centre, prospective, observational pilot study performed between March 2013 December 2016. The included adult diagnosed perianal disease (with complex fistulas) refractory to previous surgical and/or biological treatment. Patients underwent treatment two stages. Stage 1 consisted fistula...
Abstract Aim Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cause of death worldwide. We examined temporal trends in rates from colorectal Chile 1983 to 2008. Method analysed the mortality database Cases were selected using ICD‐9/10 codes. calculated per 100 000 inhabitants according sex, age group and type – colon (CC) or rectal (RC). The adjusted by direct method WHO‐2000 standard population. Time assessed with Prais–Winsten regression models. Results There 26 250 deaths CRC (75.7% for CC). was higher...
Abstract Background Histopathological studies have shown the presence of oestrogenic receptors in anal sphincter, which presumes a role muscular trophism for circulating oestrogens. This could explain increase faecal incontinence (FI) postmenopausal women. Objective To evaluate effect topical oestrogens (TE) controlling symptoms FI Hypothesis The application TE women with improves continence. Method We performed prospective double‐blind randomized trial applying to mucosa FI. Study period:...
Abstract Aim In a randomized double‐blind study the therapeutic effect of novel zinc–aluminium ointment was compared with placebo in patients faecal incontinence. Method A trial performed. Patients who met inclusion criteria were to receive or placebo. All evaluated prior and 3 weeks after application, using Wexner incontinence score Fecal Incontinence Quality Life (FIQL) score. Results Fifty six lost follow‐up, leaving 24 treatment 20 group. The average ages 61.3 60.7 years. respective...
The Loa River is the only perennial artery that crosses Atacama Desert in northern Chile. It plays an important role ecological and economic development of most water-stressed region, revealing impact mining industry, which exacerbate regional water shortages for many organisms processes. Despite this, river system has remained understudied. To our knowledge, this study provides first effort to attempt compare microbial communities at spatial scale along River, as well investigate...
Ammonium and phosphate ions present in wastewater sampled from the Puerto Colombia oxidation lagoon effluent were removed by immobilized microalgae Chlorella sp. The was filtered sterilized to ensure elimination of suspended solids micro-organisms prior biological post-treatment. Two different initial pH levels tried experiments. nutrient removal at poor, compared limit technology, i.e. 3 mg L−1 for total nitrogen 0.1 phosphorus. After a 32 h contact period, 68% ammonium 65% uptaken biomass....
Taxonomic and functional microbial communities may respond differently to anthropogenic coastal impacts, but ecological quality monitoring assessments using environmental DNA RNA (eDNA/eRNA) in response pollution are poorly understood. In the present study, we investigated utility of co-occurrence network approach’s comprehensively explore both structure potential functions benthic marine their responses Cu Fe fractioning from two sediment deposition zones northern Chile via 16S rRNA gene...
