Migration of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube to colon with gastro-colonic-cutaneous fistula formation is a rare complication of the procedure. Transient episodic diarrhea following each PEG tube feeding is typical of this complication. We present a 72-year-old man with cerebrovascular
The authors report two healthy young patients with progressive idiopathic scoliosis, both without allergies or histories of gastrointestinal disorders, who received perioperative preventive cephalosporin antibiotics, and developed explosive diarrhea postoperatively, confirmed as Clostridium
Clinical characteristics: Barth syndrome is characterized in affected males by cardiomyopathy, neutropenia, skeletal myopathy, prepubertal growth delay, and distinctive facial gestalt (most evident in infancy); not all features may be
A rare complication of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is gastrocolocutaneous fistula which usually occurs after replacement of the PEG tube. As tube feeding is directly delivered to the transverse colon, patients typically present with a sudden onset of transient diarrhea within minutes
BACKGROUND
Jejunal and ileal diverticula are acquired lesions that are often associated with intestinal motility disturbances like those occurring in myopathies and neuropathies with visceral affection. Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy is characterized by gastrointestinal
OBJECTIVE
To demonstrate the benefits of a hyperimmune egg powder supplement for treating irritable bowel syndrome in 2 patients.
METHODS
The first patient, not under chiropractic care, had been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome by her primary care physician. She sought care due to failure of
Although the literature on infections transmitted via transfused blood focuses on viruses, Yersinia enterocolitica can also cause severe infections in patients receiving transfusions. A 13-year-old patient developed severe sepsis after an autologous blood transfusion contaminated with Y.
Over several decades genetic studies have unraveled many molecular mechanisms that underlie the signaling networks guiding morphogenesis, but the mechanical forces at work remain much less well understood. Accumulation of fluid within a luminal space can generate outward hydrostatic pressure capable
