ConclusionThere may be different psychopathology that contributes to the abuse of stimulant laxatives than that associated with other forms of purging. Regardless of the driving factor, further research is warranted to discover best therapeutic interventions given the potential to develop the cathartic colon syndrome with ongoing use of stimulant laxatives.Plain English SummaryCathartic colon is a condition whereby the colon, or lower intestine, is converted into an inert tube incapable of propagating fecal matter. It is thought to develop due to over-use of stimulant laxatives. However, it is unclear if this condition tru...

Colorectal endometriosis with a large polypoid lesion
A 39-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of a positive fecal occult blood test result. She had undergone uterine myomectomy 6 years earlier, and she had been treated with levothyroxine for hypothyroidism after thyroidectomy for Graves ’s disease. A physical examination revealed a left-sided abdominal mass without tenderness. A laboratory test showed that the levels of serum tumor markers were within normal range. A barium enema revealed a 4-cm protruding lesion in the descending colon (A). (Source: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy)

Recent trends in the prevalence and distribution of colonic diverticula in Japan evaluated using computed tomography colonography
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of colonic diverticulosis in Japan is higher than that previously reported. The prevalence was higher, and the distribution tended to be bilateral in older participants.PMID:34366615 | PMC:PMC8316905 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v27.i27.4441 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology)
