A controlled study has been made of the frequency of the association between duodenal diverticula and upper intestinal haemorrhage. No correlation was found between them.

AIM: to evaluate the effectiveness of transabdominal ultrasound for complicated diverticular disease (CDD). PATIENTS AND METHODS: a retrospective study included 108 patients with CDD. All had left-sided diverticula, while in vast majority patients, diverticula were located sigmoid colon. RESULTS: was informative 84.3% patients; 74.1% cases (80 patients), clearly identified sizing, infiltration ...

Bowel diverticula are caused by mucosal herniation’s that protrude through points of the bowel wall weakened by entry of blood vessels. Increase of life expectancy in the world, has led to growing prevalence of diverticular diseases. It is estimated that 30% of the population over the age of 60 and perhaps 60% of the population over the age of 80 may be affected. Only 20% of cases are diagnosed...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of minimally invasive percutaneous cystostomy with ureteroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy for treating calculus in bladder diverticula. Percutaneous cystostomy with ureteroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy was performed on six elderly male patients with calculi in bladder diverticula, who could not be treated with transurethral ureteroscopic li...

To assess the possibility that Campylobacter pylori might colonise heterotopic gastric mucosa a detailed histological review of 69 cases of Meckel's diverticula resected over 17 years was undertaken. Twenty three were resected incidentally while 46 were excised as the suspected cause of symptoms. Gastric mucosa was found in 13 diverticula (19%), 10 from the symptomatic group and three from the ...

absractthis study investigated a 63-day boy with end stage renal disease and abdominalcysts. the antenatal sonography detected anhydraminos, posterior urethral valve,and cystic dysplastic kidneys. voiding cystourethrogram revealed two obstructivegiant diverticula which at first looked like enlarged renal pelvis. the patient had persistenturinary tract infection and perforation of diverticula. t...

O computed tomography there was extensive soft-tissue swelling of the cecum with a calcified fecalith (Fig. 2, arrow), which suggested diverticulitis. The patient was treated conservatively with antibiotics, and a few days later underwent a water-soluble contrast enema examination to exclude malignant disease of the cecum. This examination revealed a solitary cecal diverticulum with no evidence...

The heart is the first functioning organ to develop during embryogenesis. The formation of the heart is a tightly regulated and complex process, and alterations to its development can result in congenital heart defects. Mutations in sarcomeric proteins, such as alpha myosin heavy chain and cardiac alpha actin, have now been associated with congenital heart defects in humans, often with atrial s...
