Rectal ulcers in the setting radiation-associated ectasia are particularly challenging to treat. They often refractory conventional medical and endoscopic therapies cause significant morbidity for patients. Self-assembling hemostatic peptide gel an tool used primarily hemostasis but has also been hypothesized have mucosal repair properties. CASE REPORT A...
Epithelioid angiosarcoma is an aggressive form of angiosarcoma, and primary colonic tumors are extremely rare. We present the case a 60-year-old man who presented with what initially appeared to be postpolypectomy bleeding. After undergoing repeat endoscopy, he was found have epithelioid transverse colon, imaging further confirmed that it tumor site. Our patient underwent segmental resection his colon. The patient's initial presentation as bleeding continued cancer-free survival after...
Introduction: Electrically stimulated cramp threshold frequency (TF) correlates well with occurrence of muscle cramps; i.e., lower TF represents increased predisposition to cramps. Higher cramps in cirrhosis is associated a poor quality life. However, the etiology cirrhotic individuals not understood. In current study, we tested hypothesis that patients have TF. Methods: 36 participants were recruited: Group A: who experienced at least 3 episodes cramps/week (n=14); B: without (n=12) and C:...
