Fifty-two non-surgical patients presenting rectal carcinoma were treated initially with palliative laser Nd-YAG. Their mean age was 79 years (49-92). Thirty patients had a severe diarrheic syndrome, associated with tenesmus in 27 cases; 20 patients had repeated hematochezia (5 presenting diarrhea as
Ablation of colorectal adenomas by Nd:YAG laser energy was investigated in 271 patients. Two hundred and forty-one patients, selected because of poor surgical and medical condition or refusal of surgery, presented with incompletely removed polyps or with lesions unsuitable for endoscopic
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 10.6-μm laser moxibustion and electroacupuncture in 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu)-induced diarrhea model rats.
Methods:
Cryptosporidium spp. is a protozoan parasite with worldwide distribution associated with diarrhea in immunocompromised patients (particularly those with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome [AIDS]) and in immunocompetent humans. Immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG antibody responses are readily detected by
Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) was carried out in seven patients with chronic watery diarrhea (three men; age range 68 - 84 years) to find the correspondence between CLE and histological findings in collagenous colitis. On the basis of the CLE images, two to five biopsies were performed in
Since 1973, laser photo therapy is used in the treatment of gastrointestinal neoplasms as well as in various forms of intestinal hemorrhage. Complications including hemorrhage, stenosis and perforation are well documented but ileocolic fistulas after laser therapy for a villous adenoma have been
BACKGROUND
Portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) is a common complication of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and is associated with extremely poor prognosis.
METHODS
In this retrospective study, we first evaluate the application of percutaneous laser ablation as a treatment for PVTT due to advanced
The usefulness, efficacy, safety, and tissue effects of Nd:YAG laser photocoagulation were investigated prospectively in 100 patients. Sixty-seven elderly patients with colorectal adenoma and 21 patients with rectal stump polyps after colectomy and ileorectal anastomosis in familial polyposis were
BACKGROUND
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is one of the most dreaded causes of hospital-acquired diarrhea. Main objective was to investigate whether confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) has the capability for in vivo diagnosis of C. difficile associated histological changes. Second objective
Endoscopic neodymium yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd YAG) laser therapy, is a new and simple method for the palliative treatment of inoperable colorectal cancer. To date the authors have treated 70 patients and the value of this method was assessed prospectively in 14 patients. Quality of life was
The clinico-laboratory study of the effectiveness of the intravascular ultraviolet laser therapy (IUVLT) in the complex treatment of 25 young children with prolonged severe salmonellosis was made. The study revealed that under the action of IUVLT the main symptoms of salmonellosis (intoxication and
BACKGROUND
Incurable rectal cancer often reduces the quality of life because of obstruction, bleeding, pain and tenesmus. For such symptoms palliative therapy is often carried out.
METHODS
From 1986 to 1995, 219 patients, 118 men and 101 women, mean age 67 years, with distal colorectal
OBJECTIVE
To verify decrease in frequency and severity of oral mucositis in patients submitted to dental care and laser therapy during allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant.
METHODS
Medical records of patients submitted or not to dental care associated with laser therapy during allogeneic
