Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how defecation postural modification devices (DPMDs) affect normal bowel patterns in individuals.
- Researchers conducted a crossover study with 52 participants over four weeks, monitoring bowel movements first without and then with the use of DPMDs.
- Results showed that using DPMDs led to more complete bowel emptying, reduced straining, and shorter bowel movement duration compared to not using the devices.
Goals And Background: In the elderly (age, 65 y or older), acute pancreatitis is most frequently because of gallstones; however, there is a paucity of national estimates evaluating outcomes of acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP). Hence, we utilized a representative population database to evaluate the outcomes of ABP among the elderly.
Study: The National Readmission Database provides longitudinal follow-up of inpatients for 1 calendar-year.
Background: Entrapment injury of the adjacent bowel is frequently encountered during full-thickness endoluminal colon suction-resection.
Objective: Our purpose was to develop a technique that can create a full-thickness resection of the colon without the risk of entrapment injury to adjacent viscera.
Design: Pilot study.
