Abstract

A 40 years old man with the complaints of abdominal pain and per rectal bleeding for 2 days and abdominal distension for 1 day. There was an ill defined, tender intra abdominal solid mass at the left side of the lower abdomen measuring about 3 x 3cm2 on deep palpation. Direct rectal examination could not be done due to excessive pain at the anal region and non co operation of the patient. Plain X-ray of the abdomen A/P view in erect posture including both domes of the diaphragm shows distended large intestinal gas shadow & bottle like radiopaque shadow at the lower mid abdomen. Ultrasonogram (USG) of the abdomen could not be done due to the restlessness of the patient. With all available aseptic precaution the abdomen was opened by a lower midline incision. After exploration of the sigmoid colon two glass bottles (One measuring 10cm x 5 cm, the other 12cm x 7cm) were removed and the colon was closed primarily. There was also a small piece of stone found in the peritoneal cavity measuring 2 cm in diameter which was sent for histopathology. Post operative period was uneventful. The patient was discharged with advice on the 8th POD.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
