Journal ArticleDOI

Five-year colon surveillance after screening colonoscopy.

TL;DR: There is a strong association between results of baseline screening colonoscopy and rate of serious incident lesions during 5.5 years of surveillance and patients with 1 or 2 tubular adenomas less than 10 mm represent a low-risk group compared with other patients with colon neoplasia.
Journal ArticleDOI

A clinical study of patients with fecal incontinence and diarrhea.

TL;DR: Analysis of the individual data from incontinent diarrhea patients showed that most of these patients had low stool volumes, low sphincter pressures, and an impaired ability to retain saline infused into the rectum, compared with some patients, who probably represent a situation where large volume diarrhea overwhelms a fairly normal mechanism for preserving continence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pathogenesis of fecal incontinence in diabetes mellitus: evidence for internal-anal-sphincter dysfunction.

TL;DR: It is concluded that incontinence in diabetic patients is related to abnormal internal-anal-sphincter function, and that as a group, diabetics without diarrhea do not have latent defects in continence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Duration of the interval between the completion of bowel preparation and the start of colonoscopy predicts bowel-preparation quality

TL;DR: Bowel-pre preparation quality varies inversely with the duration of the interval between the last dose of the bowel-preparation agent and the start of colonoscopy, and this interval appears to be a better predictor of bowel- Preparation quality than the time of day when Colonoscopy is performed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recurrent bleeding from peptic ulcer associated with adherent clot: a randomized study comparing endoscopic treatment with medical therapy.

TL;DR: In patients with GI bleeding caused by gastric or duodenal ulcers with an adherent clot found on endoscopy, endoscopic therapy with injection of the base of the clot, clot removal, and heat probe coagulation significantly reduces the rate of recurrent bleeding compared with medical therapy alone.
