Abstract

Colonic lavage using about 2,000 mL of solution is performed routinely in Japan. However, consumption of such large amounts of fluid may be difficult for elderly individuals. From personal experience, it was observed that in European countries, the Modified Brown Method is mainly used, where patients are instructed to take 3,000 to 5,000 mL of water and a purgative on the day preceding colonoscopy. In the present study, dietary restrictions and use of purgatives on the preceding day were omitted, to reduce the burden on patients. The volume of lavage solution was limited to 1,000 mL, which was taken on the day of colonoscopy. This study included four groups, receiving various drugs, based on examination of 882 responses from 786 patients, to a questionnaire. Group1: 1 pack Niflec (Polyethylene glycol)+ 50g Magcorol(Citrate magnesium); group 2: 50g Magcorol + 10mL laxoberon (sodium picosulfate); Group 3; 60g Magcorol + 10mL laxoberon and Group 4 55g Magcorol + 20mL laxoberon . The results of Evaluation of Colonoscopic Cleansing showed, the satisfactory level of subjects on the 1000 mL method was similar to those on the 2,000 mL method. In addition, 796 (96%) of 882 subjects answered that the 1,000-mL lavage method was tolerable....Continue Reading

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.
