Published: June 1990

Ischaemic colitis is one of the complications following aortic reconstruction for abdominal aortic aneurysm. The diagnosis and monitoring of this complication can be helped by a left colonoscopy. Through an endoscopic valuation of 18 patients, the Authors value the incidence of colonic mucosal or mucosal and muscularis ischaemia following aortic aneurysmectomy with inferior mesenteric arterial ligation.

Background: Anal fistula is increasingly prevalent due to modern lifestyle factors, and surgery remains the primary treatment. However, the rising incidence of antibiotic resistance, particularly to cefuroxime, complicates perioperative management. The role of gut microbiota in influencing this resistance is not well understood.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in Kuwait. The effectiveness of colonoscopy in preventing CRC is dependent on a high adenoma detection rate (ADR). Computer-aided detection can identify (CADe) and characterize polyps in real time and differentiate benign from neoplastic polyps, but its role remains unclear in screening colonoscopy.

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) have been associated with a higher risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) development and chronic colonic inflammation seems to have a critical role in the pathogenesis of CRC in patients suffering from IBD. In respect to that, surveillance colonoscopy at regular intervals is recommended in patients with colitis. This review aims to explore the chemopreventive potential of a range of agents, including mesalazine, thiopurines, anti-TNF agents, statins, ursodeoxycholic acid, aspirin, folic acid, and nutraceuticals.

Bile salts are biosurfactants released into the intestinal lumen which play an important role in the solubilisation of fats and certain drugs. Their concentrations vary along the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). This is significant for implementation in physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling to mechanistically capture drug absorption.
