Meat and colo-rectal cancer.

In early epidemiological studies of diet and cancer the stress was on the search for causal factors. Population (ecological) studies tended to show a strong correlation between meat intake, particularly red meat, and the risk of colo-rectal cancer. They also tended to show meat to be strongly inversely correlated with cancers of the stomach and oesophagus and liver. Early case-control studies t...

Rectal bleeding and polyps.

Colorectal polyps are an important albeit uncommon cause of rectal bleeding in children. Colonoscopy promotes both rapid and accurate diagnosis and the opportunity for immediate therapeutic polypectomy. A 10 year audit of polyps diagnosed and treated endoscopically has been undertaken in the children's endoscopy unit. Twenty nine polyps were diagnosed from 730 colonoscopies; 24 were juvenile, t...

Laparoscopic colo-rectal surgery in octogenarians

Methods From 1 January 2003 to 30 June 2008, 128 colo-rectal operations were performed on patients 80 years old or more, at the Department of General Surgery of University "Politecnica delle Marche". Patients were composed of 61 (47.6%) males and 67 (52.4%) females. Mean age was 83.4 years (range 80–95). Ninety-four (73.4%) operations were carried out by laparoscopic technique versus 34 (26.6%)...

Histological aspects of rhinosinusal polyps.

UNLABELLED Contemporary cohort cross-sectional study. INTRODUCTION Despite its importance for an accurate diagnosis, histology differences among nasal polyps and its clinical implications are rarely reported in the literature. The existing papers classify polyp samples without concern for prior treatments, which could influence the results attained. AIMS carry out a morphological study, thr...
