conclusions in the first one hour, diclofenac suppository is able to control the fever more efficient than paracetamol suppositories. results the average rectal temperature in the paracetamol group was 39.6 ± 1.13°c, and 39.82 ± 1.07°c in the diclofenac group (p = 0.37). the average rectal temperature, one hour after the intervention, in the paracetamol and the diclofenac group was 38.39 ± 0.89...

background: the superiority of antipyretic efficacy of high dose rectal acetaminophen is not well established yet. objectives: the present study aimed to compare the antipyretic effectiveness of high loading dose (30 mg/kg) and standard dose (15mg/kg) of rectal acetaminophen in febrile children. patients and methods: this triple blind randomized clinical trial was conducted on 76 patients aged ...

background: considering the ease of administration of capecitabne instead of infusional 5fu for concurrent  radiochemotherapy (rct) of rectal cancer, the use of capecitabine has increased significantly in our radiation oncology department in the past years. thus we decided to compare the safety and survival with these 2 drugs by a retrospective review. methods: files of all patients receiving r...

Introduction: The close proximity of the rectum tissue to the prostate gland results in rectal toxicity during prostate radiotherapy. Rectal Retractor (RR) is a rectal displacement technique that inserts into the rectum, as a result, the lateral and dorsal part of the rectal wall push away from high dose areas. The aim of this study was to investigate the dosimetric consequence...

Background: Rectal bleeding is a relatively uncommon, but potentially important problem in early infancy.  The common causes of fresh rectal bleeding in this age group are: bleeding diathesis (vit. K deficiency), infectious colitis, cow’s milk protein allergy and anal fissure.  Nodular lymphoid hyperplasia (NLH) is another cause of prolonged fresh rectal bleeding in early infancy. Objective: To...

cutaneous metastases of rectal carcinoma is a rare event. it occurs in fewer than 4% of all patients with rectal cancer. when present, it typically signifies a disseminated disease with a poor prognosis. early detection and proper diagnosis of metastatic rectal cancer can significantly alter treatment and prognosis. we report a 70-year-old male who underwent rectal resection with permanent colo...

background: radiotherapy is one of the most important factors which results in negative effects on wound healing and increases anastomosis leakage. diverting loop ileostomy has been usually performed after colorectal anastomosis in cases of colorectal cancer with a history of neoadjuvant radiotherapy to decrease the chance of leakage. considering the side effects of diverting loop ileostomy, th...
