Advances in genome sequencing have enabled detailed microbiome analysis; however, the ideal specimen type for is yet to be determined. Rectal swabs may offer a rapid and convenient modality colonic analysis. The aim of this study evaluate use rectal compared faecal specimens.Twenty health professionals participated provided specimen, self-collected swab taken by clinician. DNA was extracted 16S rRNA gene carried out Alpha diversity higher specimens; difference only significant when comparing...
The pathogenesis of acute diverticulitis (AD) remains incompletely understood, despite it being one the most common gastrointestinal conditions worldwide. aim this study was to investigate role colonic microbiome in AD.A prospective case-control performed, comparing AD patients with that controls, using 16S rRNA sequencing rectal swab samples.The individuals showed lower diversity than controls. There were significant compositional differences observed, a abundance commensal bacterial...
Abstract Pelvic exenteration (PE) is a technically challenging surgical procedure. More recently, quality of life and survivorship following PEs are being increasingly acknowledged as important patient outcomes. This includes evaluating major long-term complications such hernias, defined the protrusion internal organs through facial defect (The PelvEx Collaborative in Br J Surg 109:1251–1263, 2022), for which there currently limited literature. The aim this paper to ascertain incidence risk...
Abstract Background Acute diverticulitis (AD) is a common surgical problem with increasing incidence. Obesity has become epidemic in western countries. been shown to increase the risk of developing AD; however, little known about its influence on recurrence. The decision perform elective resection reduce recurrent AD made an individual basis considering perceived recurrence weighed against patient comorbidity. aim this study assess whether obesity affects likelihood AD. Methods A...
Abstract Background There is minimal published data evaluating the oncological outcome of rectal resection with prostatectomy alone versus cystoprostatectomy in patients undergoing pelvic exenteration for locally advanced or recurrent cancer. This study aims to evaluate and functional outcomes performing compared exenteration. Methods Consecutive cancer between 1998 2012 were identified from a prospectively maintained database. Patients control group who underwent urostomy formation. The...
The aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy large balloon sphincteroplasty when used in conjunction with endoscopic biliary sphincterotomy during retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for therapy choledocholithiasis.A retrospective audit all ERCP's performed choledocholithiasis between January 2012 October 2013 at one institution performed. Procedures that utilized were compared those underwent standard stone extraction. Outcomes including clearance rate individual...
Conflict of interest: none declared. A 35‐year‐old uncircumcised man presented initially to the dermatology department with a 12‐month history palpable lump on ventral aspect his penile shaft. He had also noticed an abnormal area around urethral meatus (Fig. 1). There was no haematuria or any lower urinary tract symptoms. Examination shaft revealed longitudinal thickening penis which thought be Peyronie’s plaque although there curvature erectile dysfunction. subsequently underwent cystoscopy...
