With air insufflation during colonoscopy, the cecal wall was apparently pressed against the mesh plug and maintained a conical shape, thereby creating the impression of a mass with extrinsic compression.
Cecal diverticulitis is an uncommon entity of acute abdominal pain located in the lower abdomen and is often clinically indistinguishable from acute appendicitis.
Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a master sensor of energy status and will be inhibited in the state of energy depletion.[15] Myocardial energy depletion plays a major role in myocardial dysfunction during sepsis.[16],[17] There are little data describing the role of the mTOR pathway during sepsis in the heart.[18] Furthermore, among various pathways known to regulate autophagy in mammalian cells, mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1)/S6 kinase-1 (S6K1) signaling pathway is one of the best-understood pathways.[19] Accumulating evidence has indicated that the mTORC1/S6K1 pathway negatively regulates autophagy, so the relationship between the mTOR pathway and the change of autophagy process in cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced myocardial dysfunction was investigated in this study.
Cecal intubation rate of >90%, adequate bowel preparation, post polypectomy bleeding rate of <0.5%, and perforation rate of <0.1% are all quality indicators for colonoscopy.
Coccidial lesion: Score of the coccidial lesion was carried out in the ileum, jejunal and cecal regions of the intestines by the method described by Johnson and Reid (1970).
Colonoscopy-related features were also recorded and subsequently compared between groups: cecal intubation, colonoscope withdrawal time, and bowel cleansing quality assessed by the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale [11].
