Method: This is a population-based cohort study using NHS Scotland data between 2012 and 2018. All people undergoing colonoscopy between 2012 and 2018 and subsequently diagnosed as having bowel cancer up to 3 years after their investigation were included.
Myocarditis as a Possible Underlying Cause for Mid-Ventricular Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy: A Case Report.

Medicine, Florida International University, Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine, Miami, USA.
Our case report characterizes a rare presentation of mid-ventricular Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) in a patient with suspected myocarditis as an underlying cause. Mid-ventricular TTC is a rare variant of TTC presenting with overlapping symptoms and physical exam findings of acute coronary syndrome, which often leads to misdiagnosis as myocardial infarction. Our case is of a 77-year-old female patient with a history of hyperlipidemia, right breast ductal carcinoma in situ, and diverticular disease who presented to the emergency department for evaluation of chest pain radiating to the jaw with associated nausea and vomiting.

Surg Endosc
January 2025
Department of Surgery, St. Andrea Hospital, Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy.
Background: The quality of life after surgery for diverticular disease is mainly linked to the presence and severity of postoperative defecatory disorders. These symptoms are frequently related to the sigmoid and rectal denervation following the arterial ligation. The preservation of Inferior Mesenteric Artery performing colorectal resections seems to reduce denervation, which led to a better defecatory function.
