Use of Calprest ® in the diagnosis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

2002

Abstract Background: Between November 2000 and February 2001 a study has been performed by eight Italian hospital centers with the aim of verifying the usefulness of Calprest® (detection of fecal calprotectin) as a marker of bowel inflammation. Preliminary data are reported. Objective: To define the use of fecal calprotectin as a marker of intestinal inflammation, to assess whether it might help in differentiating between IBS and IBD, and its role in IBD. Subjects: Healthy population (51), active Crohn (16), non active or under remission Crohn (11), active ulcerative Colitis (8), non active or under remission ulcerative Colitis (13), pathological Controls of various nature (79). Results: Th…

Surgical Anatomy for Radical Prostatectomy

Exact neuroanatomical knowledge of the male and female pelvis has become increasingly important to both anatomists and pelvic surgeons (bowel surgery, urology, gynaecology). Anatomical discoveries are often the basis for the development of new operating methods. In addition, functional results after operative procedures have become the target of detailed anatomical scrutiny.

AIM: To assess the esophageal motility in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and to compare those with patients with autoimmune disorders. METHODS: 15 patients with IBS, 22 with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and 19 with systemic sclerosis (SSc) were prospectively selected from a total of 115 patients at a single university centre and esophageal motility was analysed using standard manometry (Mui Scientific PIP-4-8SS). All patients underwent esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy before entering the study so that only patients with normal endoscopic findings were included in the current study. All patients underwent a complete physical, blood biochemistry and urinary examination. The gr…

Bowel ultrasonography in acute abdomen: beyond acute appendicitis.

2021

Acute abdomen is a common reason for consultation in the emergency department. A broad spectrum of entities, including diverse diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, can cause acute abdomen. Although computed tomography is the technique most widely used to evaluate acute abdomen in the emergency department, abdominal ultrasound is often performed first and allows bowel disease to be suspected. This article describes the ultrasound features of diverse bowel diseases that can cause acute abdomen, such as acute diverticulitis, bowel obstruction, gastrointestinal perforation, bowel ischemia, intraabdominal fat necrosis, and miscellaneous processes such as endometriosis, foreign bodies, or vasc…
