Abdominal rectovaginopexy: modified technique to treat constipation.

PURPOSE: We noted the combination of obstructed defecation or constipation and fecal incontinence, the poor results of abdominal rectopexy for constipation, and the well-known risk of postoperative induction of constipation after rectopexy. We developed a new operation to treat patients with constipation or fecal incontinence (with a concomitant rectocele, internal rectal intussusception, enterocele at dynamic defecography, or all three) or both. This new rectopexy technique avoided dorsolateral mobilization of the rectum and did not endanger the hypogastric nerves and pelvic autonomic nerves. A better effect on constipation compared with rectopexies with dorsolateral mobilization was expected. METHODS: The results of this new operation, which was called rectovaginopexy, were studied prospectively in a series of 27 patients. Four-year results were obtained. Preoperative and postoperative questionnaires, dynamic defecograms, and anorectal physiology studies were analyzed. RESULTS: Before the operation 17 patients were constipated, compared with 4 patients one year after rectovaginopexy (76 percent improvement; P = 0.0015) and 5 patients four years after rectovaginopexy (71 percent improvement: P = 0.005), respectively. At one year, fecal incontinence decreased significantly: 15 of 17 patients improved and 9 patients became fully continent (P = 0.0007). Four years after rectovaginopexy the effect on fecal incontinence was no longer significant (P = 0.09). Rectovaginopexy restored anatomy: all (9) enteroceles, all but 1 (17) internal rectal intussusception, and 12 of 20 rectoceles dissolved, and the majority were reduced in size. Rectal sensation for distention was unchanged, and rectal electrosensitivity improved (P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS: Rectovaginopexy provides significant one-year improvement of both constipation and fecal incontinence. The positive effect on constipation did not deteriorate with time, in contrast to the effect on fecal incontinence.

Dietary zinc intake of a group of long-stay mentally handicapped women: some bioavailability considerations.

Dietary factors affecting zinc bioavailability were evaluated according to their relative distribution in the individual daily meals making up the basic diet of 17 institutionalized, mentally handicapped adult women. Mean intake values of zinc, phytate, nonstarch polysaccharides (NSP), calcium, protein, and energy were calculated from a dietary survey of 7 consecutive days, which also served to obtain values for the two zinc bioavailability predictor formulas, phytate/Zn millimolar ratio and [Ca][phytate]/[Zn][energy] ratio. Mean daily zinc intake was 8.5 +/- 1.8 mg, with noon and evening meals accounting for the highest contribution to this value (45% and 35%, respectively), whereas breakfast meals' contribution was 16%. The mean protein intake was 55 +/- 13 g, with noon and evening meals being the major contributors to total daily intake (42% and 38%, respectively). Breakfast meals accounted for 77% of daily phytate intake, giving a respective phytate/Zn millimolar ratio of 20.4 +/- 7.6 and a [Ca][phytate]/[Zn][energy] ratio of 336 +/- 127 mmol/Mcal. Values for both ratios based on noon and evening meals were negligible in comparison. The mean daily NSP intake was 9.8 +/- 4.2 g, with 53% of total daily intake supplied from breakfast meals, whereas noon and evening meals accounted for 30% and 14%, respectively. The results, while suggesting that zinc bioavailability is unlikely to be adversely affected, indicated that dietary fiber intake levels are probably inadequate, particularly in view of the nonambulant condition and low physical activity prevalent in such individuals, who may, as a consequence, be susceptible to health disorders associated with impaired bowel function and constipation.

OBJECTIVES: To determine the frequency of performance of digital rectal examination by primary care practitioners on children with chronic constipation and to assess its effect on therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: One hundred twenty-eight children referred for chronic constipation to the Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology at Schneider Children's Hospital, New Hyde Park, NY, as well as their parents were questioned as to whether a digital rectal examination was ever performed prior to referral. All children underwent subsequent digital rectal examination by a pediatric gastroenterologist and recommended treatment regimens were compared with pretreatment regimens. The patients evaluated were a mix of private-insurance and Medicaid patients referred by pediatricians in the general community. RESULTS: Ninety-eight (77%) of the children referred for chronic constipation were found to have never had a digital rectal examination performed prior to referral. Fifty-three (54%) of these children were found to have fecal impaction. Only 19 (21%) were found to have minimal to no stool retention on digital examination. Enema therapy had been infrequently used to "clean out" the colon in referred children. Seventy percent were treated with multiple enema therapy following digital rectal examination. Organic causes of constipation were identified in 3 patients. CONCLUSIONS: Digital rectal examination is often not performed in the examination of the child with chronic constipation. The digital examination can help differentiate functional constipation from an organic process and may alter the course of therapy.

Like developmental biology of any part of our body, hair growth is a complicated process. Hence the homework for
modern science to yet unravel the process and mechanism to a completion. There exist a number of traditional and alternative therapeutic methods that include drugs, surgery, suppelements, and even snake oils that have been developed and used for those who lose hair.
No understanding, and there is no solution. Of course, none of these approaches are perfect for all hair loss problems, especially due to the heterogeneity of the causes underlying hair losses. Most of chemical drugs and hair transplantation surgeries are accompanied by undesirable side effects.
