Long-term outcomes of medical therapy versus successful recanalisation for coronary chronic total occlusions in patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2020; 19:100. [PMID: 32622353 PMCID: PMC7335447 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-020-01087-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2020] [Accepted: 07/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Background In this study, we compared the outcomes of medical therapy (MT) with successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in chronic total occlusions (CTO) patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods A total of 2015 patients with CTOs were stratified. Diabetic patients (n = 755, 37.5%) and non-diabetic patients (n = 1260, 62.5%) were subjected to medical therapy or successful CTO-PCI. We performed a propensity score matching (PSM) to balance the baseline characteristics. A comparison of the major adverse cardiac events (MACE) was done to evaluate long-term outcomes. Results The median follow-up duration was 2.6 years. Through multivariate analysis, the incidence of MACE was significantly higher among diabetic patients compared to the non-diabetic patients (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.32, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.09–1.61, p = 0.005). Among the diabetic group, the rate of MACE (adjusted HR 0.61, 95% CI 0.42–0.87, p = 0.006) was significantly lower in the successful CTO-PCI group than in the MT group. Besides, in the non-diabetic group, the prevalence of MACE (adjusted HR 0.85, 95% CI 0.64–1.15, p = 0.294) and cardiac death (adjusted HR 0.94, 95% CI 0.51–1.70, p = 0.825) were comparable between the two groups. Similar results as with the early detection were obtained in propensity-matched diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Notably, there was a significant interaction between diabetic or non-diabetic with the therapeutic strategy on MACE (p for interaction = 0.036). Conclusions For treatment of CTO, successful CTO-PCI highly reduces the risk of MACE in diabetic patients when compared with medical therapy. However, this does not apply to non-diabetic patients.

[PMID: 31886009 PMCID: PMC6925915 DOI: 10.1155/2019/9135378] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2019] [Accepted: 11/27/2019] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Corrosive proctocolitis has occurred after accidental contamination of endoscopes in most patients. But accidental administration of corrosive agents for bowel cleansing can occur. The agents implicated for chemical colitis is 15% hydrochloric acid and 2% ethoxylated alcohol. We present a case of corrosive proctocolitis, present with anal pain and bloody diarrhea. Endoscopy revealed edema, erythema, and friability of the colonic mucosa. An experience of successful nonoperative treatments has been demonstrated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Constipation is a common cause of pediatric abdominal pain and emergency department (ED) presentation. Despite the high prevalence, there is a dearth of clinical information and wide practice variation in childhood constipation management in the ED. The objective of the study was to assess the efficacy and safety of soap suds enema (SSE) in the therapy for fecal impaction in children with abdominal pain within the pediatric ED setting. The primary outcome was stool output following SSE. Secondary outcomes were adverse events, admissions, and return visits within 72 hours. METHODS The present study is a retrospective cross-sectional study performed in the ED at a quaternary care children's hospital of patients seen during a 12-month period who received an SSE for fecal impaction. RESULTS Five hundred twelve patients (53% girls, median age 7.8 years, range: 8 months-23 years) received SSE therapy during a 1-year period. Successful therapy (bowel movement) following SSE occurred in 419 (82%). Adverse events included abdominal pain in 24 (5%) and nausea/vomiting in 18 (4%). No SSE-related serious adverse events were identified. Following SSE, 405 (79%) were subsequently discharged, of which 15 (3.7%) returned to the ED for re-evaluation within 72 hours. CONCLUSIONS SSE is an efficacious and safe therapeutic option for the acute treatment of childhood fecal impaction in the ED setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antegrade colonic enemas are used in selected adult patients with defecatory disorders. Conduit stenosis requiring revisional surgery is common. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to determine whether stenosis could be avoided by using an indwelling antegrade continence enema catheter in an appendiceal or cecal conduit, and to describe medium-term clinical outcomes. DESIGN This study was a retrospective case series. SETTING The study was conducted at a tertiary referral hospital in Sydney, Australia. PATIENTS Adults administering antegrade colonic enemas to manage defecatory disorders were selected for the study. METHODS Patients with an indwelling antegrade continence enema catheter completed a face-to-face survey when they attended the clinic for catheter change. A postal survey was sent to nonattenders, and, if it was not returned, the patient was contacted, and the survey was completed by telephone. The survey asked about irrigation techniques, satisfaction, confidence to manage, and continence, using quantitative scores. RESULTS Fifty-four patients (45 female; mean age, 49 years) had constipation (n = 31), incontinence (n = 6), both incontinence and constipation (n = 2) or obstructed defecation due to gracilis neosphincter (n = 5), congenital anomalies (n = 8), or spinal injuries (n = 2). Thirty-five patients (65%) continued to irrigate for a mean follow-up of 5.5 years (range, 4 months to 13.7 years). Mean enema volume was 1178 mL (95% CI, 998-1357; range, 350-2000 mL), and half the patients added a stimulant to the irrigation. Mean total toileting time was 59 minutes (95% CI, 48-66; range, 15-120 minutes). Twenty-one patients had incontinence between irrigations, and in 17% incontinence was severe (St. Mark score >12). Satisfaction (visual analogue scale = 8.1) and confidence to partake in social activities (visual analogue scale = 8.2) and all-day activities (visual analogue scale = 7.1) were high. Complications included superficial wound infection (n = 15), wound infection requiring surgery (n = 6), paraconduit hernia (n = 2), and indwelling antegrade continence enema catheter dislodgement (n = 33). There was no conduit track stenosis. LIMITATIONS The study is a medium-term retrospective case series using patient-reported outcomes and clinical records without a control group. CONCLUSIONS With the use of the indwelling antegrade continence enema catheter, appendicostomy and cecostomy stenosis requiring revisional surgery was avoided. Antegrade colonic irrigation failed in about one-third of cases; in the 65% who continued to irrigate, satisfactory functional outcome was achieved.

Abstract
Chemical colitis can occur as a result of accidental contamination of endoscopes or by intentional or accidental administration of enemas containing various chemicals. Most cases have occurred after accidental contamination of endoscopes with glutaraldehyde and/or hydrogen peroxide. There have been multiple case reports of chemical colitis resulting from unintentional administration of caustic chemicals. Intentional administration of corrosive enemas has been implicated in sexual practices, bowel cleansing, or in suicide attempts. Patients present with nonspecific symptoms including abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, and/or diarrhea. As chemical colitis remains rare, the literature consists of scattered case reports and small series. Agents implicated in chemical colitis that are covered in this review include alcohol, radiocontrast agents, glutaraldehyde, formalin, ergotamine, hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, ammonia, soap, sodium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide, herbal medicines, chloro-m-xylenol, and potassium permanganate. Clinical, endoscopic, and histologic features are outlined for each agent in addition to the existing literature. Given the nonspecific presentation of many cases of chemically induced colitis, the diagnosis can be challenging if the pertinent history is not obtained. Most patients demonstrate the resolution of chemical-induced colitis after conservative or medical therapy. Depending on the depth and extent of injury, patients rarely require colectomy for ischemic colitis and/or peritonitis. Other postingestion complications include colonic strictures and rectovaginal fistulae. The benefits of medical therapy compared with conservative therapy are not known, as comparative clinical management trials have not been performed.

Abstract
Approximately 10% of patients with chronic diarrhea carry a diagnosis of microscopic colitis. The endoscopic appearance of both collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis may be normal; however, biopsies confirm the diagnosis. Available treatments include antidiarrheals, bismuth salicylate, and budesonide. Although most patients with fecal diversion may have endoscopic evidence of colitis, a much smaller percentage of patients are symptomatic. Some cases of diversion colitis respond to treatment with short-chain fatty acid enemas; however, return of the fecal stream is the most successful therapy. A variety of oral, intravenous, and per rectum chemicals may cause colitis; symptoms usually abate when chemical exposure is discontinued.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Because of their rarity, chemical burns of rectum and colon have been poorly studied. This clinical report studies the epidemiologic, diagnostic, and therapeutic features of rectal and colonic burns after enema with caustics. METHODS This is a retrospective clinical report of a personal series of 21 patients admitted in our hospital from January 1990 to January 2000 for an acute chemical colitis after enema. RESULTS Inpatient prevalence: 0.04%. Mean age: 29.7 +/- 12 years (range 17 to 19). Sex ratio: 16 female and 5 male. Circumstances: suicide (n = 14), abortion (n = 3), murder (n = 3), mistake (n = 1). Responsible caustic: sulphuric acid (n = 12), chlorhydric acid (n = 5), potash (n = 2), unknown acid (n = 1), plant decoction (n = 1). Injected quantity: 50 to 250 mL. Ten patients suffered light damage and had an early favorable course under medical treatment, 8 of them had a secondary rectal-sigmoid stenosis. Eleven patients presented with severe necrotic damage, of difficult and often delayed diagnosis based on an enduring symptomatology without clear peritoneal syndrome. Upon surgery, necrotic damage spread on rectum and sigmoid colon (n = 2), up to the transverse colon (n = 4), to the right colonic angle (n = 3), to the right colon (n = 2); once a 10 cm long necrosis of the ileum was associated (n = 1); only 1 patient had a colonic perforation. Performed surgery: 11 resections of necrotic colon and proximal colostomy (Hartman operation). Mortality: 6 patients. Morbidity: 3 of 5 patients. CONCLUSIONS Chemical burns of rectum and colon produced by strong acid or basic products are necrotizing lesions whose gravity is often hidden by the absence of peritoneal inflammation signs, thus mortality is high. Only early surgery is likely to improve the poor prognosis of severe chemical damage of the rectum and colon.

Abstract
Although uncommon, medication-induced colonotoxicity is important to recognize because medication cessation generally leads to prompt clinical improvement, while medication continuation results in disease exacerbation. This review categorizes the association between medications and colonotoxicity as "well-established" or "probable," according to the following criteria: total number of reported cases, number of different research groups reporting an association, experimental and pharmacologic evidence of an association, and validity of an association in each reported case. Cocaine, ergotamine, estrogen, sodium polystyrene, alosetron, amphetamines, pseudoephedrine, and vasopressin are associated with colonic ischemia. The mechanisms include vasospasm, thrombogenesis, and shunting of blood from mesenteric vessels. Narcotics, phenothiazines, vincristine, atropine, nifedipine, and tricyclic antidepressants are associated with colonic pseudo-obstruction. The mechanisms include antagonizing prokinetic neurotransmitters, stimulating antikinetic neurotransmitters, promoting dysmotility, relaxing smooth muscle, and injuring enteric neurons. Numerous antibiotics are associated with pseudomembranous colitis; ampicillin is associated with hemorrhagic colitis; chemotherapy is associated with neutropenic colitis; and deferoxamine is associated with Yersinia enterocolitis. Mechanisms of these toxicities include altering normal bowel flora, weakening immunologic defenses, promoting microorganism virulence, and mucosal injury. Gold compounds, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, alpha-methyldopa, salicylates, and sulfasalazine are associated with an inflammatory or cytotoxic colitis. The mechanisms include direct mucosal cytotoxicity, antimetabolite effects, or drug allergy. Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, cyclo 3 fort, flutamide, lansoprazole, and ticlopidine are associated with lymphocytic colitis. The mechanisms include immunologic activation or attenuated immunologic defenses. Chronic cathartic use leads to colonic hypomotility and abdominal distention. Intrarectally administered corrosive compounds can produce a toxic colitis.

Abstract
We report two cases of acute proctocolitis caused by rectal application of caustic products of domestic use. One 61-yr-old woman applied an ammonia solution enema; the other patient, a 63-yr-old woman, accidentally applied an enema containing lye. Both patients presented with intense anal pain, but the first patient also had abdominal pain with guarding, hematochezia, and leucocytosis. An acute proctocolitis was found at sigmoidoscopy in both patients. Only conservative and symptomatic measures were prescribed in both cases, and a clinical and endoscopic recovery was seen. In spite of persistent fibrosis in the lamina propria, no signs of stenosis were found.

Abstract
The enema has evolved through trial and error, not scientific investigation. Because little scientific base exists, the authors began their study of enemas by examining current nursing practice. They asked 24 experienced registered nurses to describe how they give enemas, and if they had seen any complications. Interviews were audiotaped, transcribed, and analyzed using qualitative analysis software. The authors found that the nurses emphasized patient cooperation, preparation, and comfort; had observed few complications, and had difficulty describing quantitative aspects of enemas (e.g., amount of solution given, speed of administration).

Abstract
The case of a patient with acid burns of the large bowel from a self-administered enema of 95 percent sulfuric acid solution is reported. The authors were unable to find a similar case in the English medical literature. The patient presented in metabolic acidosis, and flexible sigmoidoscopy was of limited value. Peritoneal signs warranted early laparotomy, which revealed coagulation necrosis of the anus, rectum, and colon up to the hepatic flexure without any free perforation. The extent of damage was more severe than seen in the upper digestive tract from acid ingestion. Juxtaposed small bowel and the appendix sustained serosal burns. Subtotal proctocolectomy and perineal resection were done and the patient made an uneventful recovery. Early laparotomy is warranted, irrespective of endoscopic findings, for appropriate surgical correction.
