Insights

Adult intussusception, though rare, can cause bowel obstruction. This case highlights colo-colonic intussusception in an adult, secondary to a sigmoid lipoma, emphasizing surgical treatment due to malignancy risk.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Adult intussusception is rare, often linked to tumors or inflammatory conditions.
  • Lipomas are benign gastrointestinal tumors and a rare cause of intussusception.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a unique case of colo-colonic intussusception in an adult.
  • To discuss the diagnosis and management of this rare condition.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a 40-year-old male with sigmoid lipoma causing intussusception.
  • Review of diagnostic and management strategies for adult intussusception.

Main Results:

  • Colo-colonic intussusception occurred secondary to a sigmoid lipoma.
  • The patient's intussusception was not associated with a malignant lesion.

Conclusions:

  • Adult intussusception, particularly colo-colonic, necessitates surgical resection due to high malignancy incidence.
  • Colonoscopy aids lipoma visualization but intraluminal reduction is not advised.

The Colonization of Land

Changes in the environment of the early Earth drove the evolution of organisms. As prokaryotic organisms in the oceans began to photosynthesize, they produced oxygen. Eventually, oxygen saturated the oceans and entered the air, resulting in an increase in atmospheric oxygen concentration, known as the oxygen revolution approximately 2.3 billion years ago. Therefore, organisms that could use oxygen for cellular respiration had an advantage. More than 1.5 years ago, eukaryotic cells and...

Data Reporting and Recording

Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

Reporter Genes02:11

Reporter Genes

Reporter genes are a type of protein-coding gene that are often tagged to a gene of interest. Once inside a target cell, reporter genes usually produce visually identifiable characteristics like fluorescence and luminescence when expressed along with the gene of interest. Thus, reporter genes “report” the presence or absence of genes of interest in an organism, determine the gene expression pattern, or track the physical location of a DNA segment or protein in the cell.
