Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli survives within neutrophils.

Extracellular pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) strains are common causes of a variety of clinical syndromes, including urinary tract infections, abdominal infections, nosocomial pneumonia, neonatal meningitis, and sepsis. ExPEC strains are extracellular bacterial pathogens; therefore, the innate immune response (e.g.

Adaptative changes in terminal ileum after total colectomy, mucosal proctectomy and straight ileo-anal anastomosis in chronic ulcerative colitis.

Total colectomy, mucosal proctectomy and straight ileo-anal anastomosis was performed in four adult patients with chronic ulcerative colitis (three males, one female; mean age 27.4 years). During a follow-up period of one to five years, all patients were continent, had spontaneous bowel evacuation (average 4-5 per day), and had normal bladder and sexual function.

Antipyrine clearance: prognostic marker for obstructive jaundice.

A prospective study was undertaken to determine prognostic markers for patients with obstructive jaundice. Along with routine liver function tests, antipyrine clearance was determined in 20 patients. Four patients died after basal investigations.

Ischemic bowel disease.

Twenty-five cases with ischemic bowel disease seen over a period of 4 years are presented. Of these, 20 cases presented with acute symptoms and five with chronic symptoms. In the majority of patients, the diagnosis was established at operation and on histopathology.
