Aim:
The authors point to the risk of hypocoagulation by patients with colorectal carcinoma, who use warfarin.
Material And Methods:
185 patients with colorectal cancer were examined for plattellets, prothrombin time and D-dimer.
Results:
Only 64 patients (35%) had haemocoagulation in the standard, 114 patients (61%) were hypercoagulable and only 7 patients (3.7%) were hypocoagulable. The authors present an interesting case report of a patient who used warfarin. This patient has ileos state by sigmoideal cancer, and in parallel a progressive intramural haematoma in the hepatic flexure of the colon.
Conclusion:
Hypocoagulation state with an intramural haematoma of colon may be very dangerous complication for patients with colorectal cancer and ileos state. Very careful choice of surgical strategy is necessary.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
