Asymptomatic Colonic Metastases of Lung Cancer: A Case Report

Abstract

Lung cancer is a malignant neoplasm that is frequently associated with distant metastasis. However, gastrointestinal tract is a rare location for lung cancer metastasis. Herein, we presented a case of a 72-year-old man, who was admitted for chest pain and with radiological evidence of lung cancer with distant metastases and a suspected localization in the right colon. On colonoscopy visual impression showed two yellowish and ulcerative lesions, one in the ascending colon and the other in the transverse colon, which were biopsied. Both were consistent on pathological report with colonic metastases. According to advanced stage of neoplasm (stage IV), patient underwent palliative chemotherapy.

  ADVANCED RESEARCH IN GASTROENTEROLOGY & HEPATOLOGY JUNIPER PUBLISHERS   Authored by Dajani AI      Abstract Introduction: Over the past decade a worldwide trend of decline in the cure rates of Helicobacter pylori is observed. Current eradication rates achieved by the standard triple therapy are below 70%. Sequential therapy had provided a potential alternative that would compensate for the unmet performance of triple therapy. Despite its superiority to triple therapy, the excellent results reported initially were not reproduced by other investigators work. Adding adjuvant agents was also found to improve further the success rate of eradication. Probiotics emerged as a useful adjunct in treatment and prophylaxis of Helicobacter pylori infection. The nutritional supplement Zinc carnosine complex is another adjuvant which is believed to add value to the treatment. Patients and method: an open label randomized observational clinical study ...

Association between Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Carotid Atherosclerosis-Juniper Publishers

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-ADVANCED RESEARCH IN GASTROENTEROLOGY & HEPATOLOGY Abstract Aim/Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) frequently accompanies to the criteria of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) like obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. It is recently approved as a liver attaint of MetS. While MetS is a highly atherogenic condition we examined whether NAFLD was associated with atherosclerosis, as measured by ultrasound in the carotid arteries. Methods: Carotid intima-media thickness and cardiovascular risk factors were evaluated in 64 patients with an ultrasound diagnosis of primary NAFLD and 64 matched population controls. Metabolic syndrome was established according to WHO and ATP-III criteria. IMT values were evaluated according to protocols of standard measurements of carotid artery. Results: The metabolic syndrome and all its individual features were significantly (P<0.001) more frequent in NAFLD patients than in control subjects. P...

      ADVANCED RESEARCH IN GASTROENTEROLOGY & HEPATOLOGY JUNIPER PUBLISHERS     Authored by Nishant Shukla    Abstract Liver cancer has become the second largest cancer death rate in the world, and the prevention and treatment of liver diseases is extremely urgent. It has grown up to be a hot spot and focus of the world. With the development of medical imaging and the introduction of “precise surgery”, the development of preoperative planning system for liver diseases has become a research hotspot. Accurate preoperative planning system relies on the development of image processing technology, and the introduction and application of deep learning just improve the accuracy of image processing technology and promote the development process of liver preoperative planning system. This paper mainly expounds the main problems of today’s deep learning-based liver preoperative planning system and discusses the solution to the problem and th...
