Background: Collagenous colitis is characterised by diarrhoea, lymphocytic inflammation, and a thickened subepithelial collagen layer in the colorectal mucosa. No standard treatment of the disease is established. Aims: To investigate the clinical and histological effect of oral budesonide (Entocort, AstraZeneca) in the treatment of collagenous colitis. Patients: Twenty patients with collagenous...
BACKGROUND The Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSFS) and a modified child-friendly version (M-BSFS) are frequently used in clinical practice and research. These scales have not been validated in children. 3-D stool scale models may be better adapted to the child's development. AIMS To assess the usefulness of the BSFS, M-BSFS, and a newly developed 3-D stool scale in children. METHODS Fifty child...
INTRODUCTION Stool is an excellent sample source for diagnosing cases of viral and bacterial gastroenteritis and is also a noninvasive source of human genomic DNA from exfoliated cells of the colon, which is often used in diagnosis of colorectal cancer. The isolation of high quality DNA from stool is not without its problems however. The presence of phenolic compounds, metabolites and polysacch...
BACKGROUND Loose motion is a common symptom in patients reporting to our hospital. As it is a small set up where only facility for microscopic stool examination is available, we designed this study to know how much microscopic stool examination can help us in management of patients with diarrhoea. METHODS This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from January 2010 to April 2012, at...
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is principally responsible for hospital acquired, antibiotic-induced diarrhea and colitis and represents a significant financial burden on our healthcare system. Little is known about C. difficile proliferation requirements, and a better understanding of these parameters is critical for development of new therapeutic targets. In cell lines, C. difficile tox...
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic value of plain abdominal radiography in stroke patients with bowel dysfunction. METHODS A total of 59 stroke patients were recruited and assigned into constipation or non-constipation group. Patients were interviewed to obtain clinical information, constipation score, and Bristol stool form scale. The total and segmental colon transit time (CTT) was measur...
Chemotherapy has been used on a large scale in countries where the blood fluke Schistosoma japonicum is endemic. This has led to a lower intensity of infections and consequently lower diagnostic values of commonly used diagnostic tests like serology and Kato-Katz stool smear. We designed a novel real-time PCR method for detection of S. japonicum in stool samples. Further, we evaluated different...
We succeeded in stimulation of excretion of Strongyloides stercoralis larvae in stool by oral administration of a single dose of 400 mg albendazole to strongyloidiasis patients. This result overcame the false-negative results of stool examination due to low larval numbers. Stool samples were collected from 152 asymptomatic strongyloidiasis patients in the morning, prior to eating. After breakfa...
To establish the etiology of vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis (VAPP), isolates from the central nervous system (CNS) from eight patients with VAPP were compared with stool isolates from the same patients. The vaccine (Sabin) origin was checked for all of the available isolates. Unique and similar strains were recovered from paired stool and CNS samples for five of the eight VAPP cases...
