Antonio Rispo et al (http://www.springerlink.com/content/e5884577n154176h/) has studied the prevalence of diverticulosis in 85 patients with ulcerative colitis and older than 45 years, compared to the prevalence in people without ulcerative colitis. Patients with ulcerative colitis had a significant lower prevalence of diverticulosis (7 of 85) compared to controls (24 of 85). All seven patients with both ulcerative colitis and diverticulosis had been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis when older than 45, making it probable that the diverticular disease had developed before the patients got ulcerative colitis. The reason why patients with ulcerative colitis do not develop colonic diverticulas is probably the motor alterations caused by chronic bowel wall inflammation.

The Best Image Library in the World! That is what we would like Gastrolab Image Library and Endoscopic Archives to be. Perhaps We can achieve this together? Many of You have ecxellent endoscopic images just waiting for publication. When published they can be an invaluable resource for young endoscopists and for gastroenterologic education. Images published here can freely be used for noncommercial purposes. So, please email Your images here glabinfo@gmail.com together with a short caption, a notice that our site is permitted to publish them and information if You want a copyright sign Đ together with You email address (in which case possible commercial publishers can contact You to get permission to publish Your images).
