FIFTY MALE Egyptian inpatients with active colonic mansoniasis were studied clinicopathologically, endoscopically, radiologically and bacteriologically. This was done to find out the pattern of colonic and urinary enterobacteria and serum antisalmonella agglutinins in various stages of mansoniasis.
A 47-year-old, West Indian male was referred for investigation of mild iron-deficiency anemia. He was asymptomatic. Two years earlier, he had an episode of transient facial weakness and a separate episode of diplopia. Gastroscopy and duodenal biopsies were normal. Barium enema demonstrated multiple
Occult blood in the stool can be detected by chemical (guaiac), heme-porphyrin, or immunological methods. Each has advantages and disadvantages, with the guaiac slide test Hemoccult II (SmithKline Diagnostics) remaining the most widely used. Various technical factors affect its clinical performance,
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder characterized by mucocutaneous melanin pigmentation and gastrointestinal (GI) tract hamartomatous polyps and an increased risk of malignancy. In addition to polyposis, previous studies have reported increased risk of GI and
BACKGROUND
Colorectal cancer is an important cause of death. Most cases of colon and rectal cancer arise from a preexisting adenomatous polyp. However, if colorectal polyps are very large or not accessible for endoscopic ablation, or if they cannot be removed without an increased risk of
METHODS

There is no national NHS tariff to fund services for patients experiencing long-term bowel and nutritional problems after cancer treatment. In this paper, we report the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients referred to our service and the estimated cost of a completed episode of care.
