Principal component analysis (PCA) is much used in exploring time-course biological data sets, but does not distinguish variation between time and subjects. This study proposes a new integrated approach by combining analysis of variance (ANOVA) and three component modeling methods. The former was used to separate the between- and within-subject variation, and the latter represent modeling strategies on a scale moving from commonality to individuality. The proposed approach was applied to a surface-enhanced laser desorption and ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS) data set of a serum protein expression time course before and after colon resection. Two common biological processes are identified and individual differences among patients were also detected, and the biological relevance of both is discussed.

Background: Minimally invasive surgery is associated with improved short-term outcomes and similar long-term oncologic outcomes for colorectal cancer patients compared with open surgery. Although the robotic approach has ergonomic and technical benefits, how it has impacted utilization of traditional laparoscopic surgery and minimally invasive surgery overall is unclear.
Objective: Describe trends in open, robotic, and laparoscopic approaches for colorectal cancer resections and examine factors associated with minimally invasive surgery.

Introduction: Crohn's disease (CD) varies by location, potentially affecting therapy efficacy and surgery risk, although research on this topic is conflicting. This study aims to investigate the independent association between CD location and therapeutic patterns.
Methods: We analyzed patients with CD diagnosed from January 2005 to May 2023 registered in the nationwide ENEIDA registry.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second and third leading cause of cancer death in men and women respectively worldwide. Colonoscopy is the gold standard screening test to detect premalignant lesions with endoscopic polypectomy preventing evolution to CRC. Endoscopic polypectomy is effective with a higher safety profile and is less costly as compared to surgery.

A 61-year-old woman underwent an emergent operation with sigmoid colon cancer resection, colostomy, and ileostomy on colon perforation. The low ileostoma, caused by intra-abdominal bad conditions, had irritated the surrounding skin after surgery, intermittently forcing the patient to fast for a certain period. Six months after the operation, under the judgment that re-ileostomy, essential for hospital discharge, seemed very difficult through another laparotomy, we attempted to make the ileostoma higher not with pulling the ileum from the abdomen but with lowering the surrounding skin using skin flap formation techniques.
