The technique of performing a water soluble contrast enema is virtually identical to that for a single contrast barium enema. Because (1) the goals of the water soluble contrast enema are usually very limited and specific and (2) the colon has not been cleansed of feces, there is no need to take radiographs of every little filling defect. It is often more informative to watch the head of the barium column luoroscopically and take spot images only when pathology is detected. 2, record 1, English, - water%20soluble%20contrast%20enema

Enfin, [la chirurgie vidéo-endoscopique] réduit les risques d’adhérences postopératoires : après une intervention, une cicatrice interne crée un tissu fibreux qui empêche les tissus de glisser librement dans la cavité abdominale : l'intestin, par exemple, risque de s’enrouler autour de telles brides de tissu fibreux, provoquant une occlusion intestinale. 1, record 2, French, - adh%C3%A9rence%20postop%C3%A9ratoire

Tuberculosis (TB) remains to be one of the most common problems affecting patients in developing countries where poor sanitary conditions, overcrowding and malnutrition exist. ... It can involve any organ of the body including that of the gastrointestinal tract. ... There are several theories regarding the development of tuberculosis of the intestine.
