AI Article Synopsis
- The review examines the effectiveness of bowel preparation before urinary diversion surgery, focusing on mechanical and antibiotic methods.
- It highlights that existing literature is limited, but suggests that oral sodium phosphate is better tolerated than polyethylene glycol for bowel prep, with specific recommendations depending on patient health.
- The conclusion emphasizes that modern preparation techniques are safer and more effective compared to older methods, improving patient outcomes.
Article Abstract
Purpose: We reviewed the existing scientific literature regarding the efficacy of preoperative mechanical and antibiotic bowel preparation for urinary diversion surgery.
Materials And Methods: We performed MEDLINE searches of the literature from 1966 through 2000 and obtained additional references through a review of the bibliographies of select articles.
Results: For urinary diversion surgery information regarding appropriate mechanical and antibiotic bowel preparation is scant. The colorectal surgery literature indicates that oral sodium phosphate appears to be better tolerated than polyethylene glycol and is as effective, although the latter is preferred in patients with compromised renal, cardiac or liver function. A combination of oral and parenteral antibiotics should be used for all urinary reconstructive surgeries involving gastrointestinal tract segments. A parenteral second generation cephalosporin antibiotic should be given within 1 hour of skin incision and repeated at an interval of twice the antibiotic serum half-life or when blood loss exceeds 1 l.
Conclusions: For urinary diversion surgery contemporary methods of mechanical and antibiotic bowel preparation appear to be safe, effective and better tolerated than traditional bowel preparation methods.

Aim: This study aimed to determine the necessity of intraluminal washout through cytological assessment to prevent implantation of exfoliated cancer cells (ECCs) in patients with rectal and sigmoid cancers.
Methods: We studied 140 patients with either sigmoid or rectal cancer who underwent anastomosis surgery using a double-stapling technique. An intraluminal washout sample was collected before and after irrigation with 1000, 1500, or 2000 mL of physiological saline or distilled water.
Protective Effects of Peanut Sprouts from a Smart Farming System on the Barrier Function of Human Epithelial Cells.

Inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, poses an emerging threat as it can lead to colorectal cancer, thrombosis, and other chronic conditions. The present study demonstrated the protective effects of peanut sprout extracts (PSEs) prepared from day 2 to day 7 of germination against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced epithelial barrier breakdown. Although the peanut sprout length increased in a time-dependent manner from day 1 to day 7, the extraction yields remained relatively consistent from day 2 to day 7.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes national data on gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) mortality in the U.S. from 2010 to May 2023, highlighting trends and identifying vulnerable populations.
- Despite a consistent decrease in GIB deaths from 2010 to 2019, there was a surge in excess mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially among young males aged 19-44.
- By 2023, GIB-related mortality rates returned to expected levels, indicating a resolution of pandemic-related excess deaths.
Interventions to improve bowel cleansing in colonoscopy.
Expert Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol
January 2025
Gastroenterology Department, Hospital Universitario de Canarias, Spain.
Introduction: Suboptimal bowel preparation adversely affects colonoscopy quality, increases healthcare costs, andprolongs waiting time. The primary contributing factors include poor tolerance to the preparation solutions, noncompliance with prescribed instructions, and suboptimal efficacy of the bowel cleansing solution itself.
Areas Covered: This review examined the predictive factors associated with suboptimal bowel preparation and discussed interventions aimed at improving bowel cleansing.
