Suppositories are the frequently used dosage forms prescribed through rectal route. However, suppositories have the limitation of prolonged onset of action which can be attributed to poor drug release properties of suppository base. Surfactants can increase the drug release to aid absorption by reducing the interfacial tension between rectal fluids and the suppository base. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of different concentrations of sodium lauryl sulphate and tween 80 on
cases. The fistula connects the ventral wall of the terminal rectum with the dorsal wall of vagina which allowed feces to be voided through the vaginal opening (Suess ., 1982). Atresia ani can be classified into four different classes, which including congenital stenosis (Type I), imperforate anus alone (Type II), or combined with more cranial termination of the rectum as a blind pouch (Type III), and discontinuity of the proximal rectum with normal anal and terminal rectal development (Type IV),
For people who suffer with hemorrhoids, the discomfort and pain is both real and embarrassing. Unfortunately, because it's such a sensitive topic, many people are reluctant to talk to family and friends to find out what works. In many ways, this doesn't make sense: as unpleasant a subject as it may be, it's important to realize that most people will someday have this problem. Why so many? It's because hemorrhoids are caused by so many ordinary activities. If you lift something that is heavy
Suprapubic Catheter Home Guide A suprapubic catheter is a rubber tube with a tiny balloon on the end. It is used to drain urine from the bladder. This catheter is put in your bladder through a small opening in the lower center part of your abdomen. Suprapubic refers to the area right above your pubic bone. The balloon is on the end of the catheter that is in your bladder. It is filled with germ-free (sterile) water. This keeps the catheter from slipping out of place. When the catheter is in place
Upper endoscopy, also termed as the EGD, is the examination of the person’s upper gastrointestinal tract with the use of a flexible, long, and thin scope. The thin scope contains a camera at its tip that allows the doctor to look inside the esophagus, stomach, and the duodenum of the patient. With little or no discomfort to the person undergoing the examination, this medical procedure allows the physician to clearly see the parts of the patient’s upper gastrointestinal tract. Why Upper endoscopy
too create in the rectum it can begin in one place and spread to the next.These cancers can also be named colon cancer or rectal cancer, depending on where they start. Colon cancer and rectal cancer are rregularly assembled together in light of the fact that they have numerous components in like manner and are a piece of the internal organ. Colorectal cancer, also known as bowel cancer colon cancer or rectal cancer , is any cancer (a growth, lump, tumour) of the colon and the rectum. Colorectal cancer

glandular cells that line the inside of the colon and rectum. Other, less common type of tumors may also develop in the colon and rectum. Carcinoid tumors develop from hormone-producing cells of the intestine. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors develop in the connective tissue and muscle layers in the wall of the colon and rectum. Lymphomas are cancers of immune system cells that typically develop in lymph nodes but may also start in the colon and rectum or other organs. Colorectal cancers are thought to
Rectal exam, alternatively, is the procedure of a medical doctor entering a gloved finger into your rectum. The doctor checks for bumps or irregular sensations within.

It's a process in which a lean tube looks within the rectum and colon for anomalous sections. Mouth Mouth cancer can be checked by both your doctor and your dentist
more effective than a traditional suppository because of its unique design and comfort fit. It remains positioned for many hours to soothe and treat the enlarged and swollen tissue without getting lost in the rectum. The contoured top portion of the suppository is inserted into the rectum and treats internal hemorrhoids, while the larger flared base of the suppository remains on the outer surface of the anus to treat external hemorrhoids. Other advantages of using the Rectal Rocket: • Simultaneously
The Journey of Food Through the Body Ever wondered how your body miraculously turn your food into nutrients and energy that your body can use? Here are step by step process on how our human body digest, or turn food into useful nutrients our body could use. Step 1: Mouth Digestion takes place right after your first bite of food. Chewing breaks up the food to aid the digestion process. The food then mixes with saliva to help go down the Esophagus, as well as break down the food. Step 2:
Suppositories are the unit solid dosage form designed to be inserted into the rectum. They are useful in avoiding first pass effect, to get sustained release effect and for giving drug to unconscious, pediatric and geriatric patients. In recent years, the suppositories have been widely used in different clinical units with ease and good therapeutic outcomes. Therefore, the present article attempts to review the ingredients, preparation and evaluation arts, and the recent work done in the field of
The digestive system process begins at the mouth and finishes at the anus. This system includes the mouth→ pharynx→ salivary glands→ larynx→ oesophagus→ stomach→ liver→ pancreas→ duodenum→ small intestine→ large intestine→ rectum→ anus. Digestion is the breakdown of food that allows the body to absorb the food into the bloodstream and into the cells for energy. This happens mechanically and chemically, mechanically means by your teeth, tongue and gums so chewing food. Whereas chemically means by
called ducts" (NIH (5).) The pancreas is not considered part of the GI tract, but it is a necessary organ needed for the digestion and absorption of nutrients. Large Intestine- The large intestine is made of 3 parts; the cecum, the colon, and the rectum. Some refer to the large intestine as the colon, because the colon contains four separate parts; the ascending colon, the transverse colon, the descending colon, and the sigmoid colon (WebMD (2).) The cecum connects the small and the large intestine

What happens to food once it is ingested? Where does it go? How is it broken down into smaller pieces? The digestive process is very complex, but simple to understand. It involves several steps that include from being chewed inside the mouth, to landing in the stomach for more breakdown, traveling through the intestines, and finally exiting the body. It starts with a process called mechanical digestion. It is when food is chewed in the mouth and turned into small pieces, then is swallowed. The tongue
Ulcerative Colitis Ulcerative colitis, or UC, is a chronic gastrointestinal disease that causes inflammation and ulcers in the lining of the large intestine. It causes ulcers in the colon and rectum. Ulcerative colitis is one of two forms of inflammatory bowel disease. In UC, the inflammation from the ulcers breaks down the lining of the colon and causes bleeding and discomfort in the abdomen. Researchers are unsure of what triggers UC, but have two strong possibilities. One theory is that the
Digestion occurs in the gastrointestinal system, which is composed of the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) and the associated accessory organs. The process of digestion occurs through six steps, namely ingestion, secretion, mixing, digestion, absorption and defecation. (Tortora & Derrickson, 2008). Anatomy of the digestive system The GI tract is also called as the alimentary canal, which is essentially a long winding tube of approximately 30 feet (9 meters). The mouth, esophagus, pharynx, stomach
This surgery is very affective. One more type of colon cancer surgery is local excision. It can be used to treat cancers in the rectum (the lowest part in the colon). The procedure involves removing the cancer and some of the tissue of the wall of the rectum wall. It may be done through the anus (the opening of the rectum) or through a small cut in the rectum. This procedure does not require major abdominal surgery. (Roger W.
colitis, I have listed some below: Ulcerative Proctitis: Inflammation located in the rectum. In mild cases it causes rectal bleeding, but in more serious one it causes the sudden urge to go to the bathroom with painful and ineffective bowel movements. Proctosigmoiditis: Inflammation is located in the rectum and sigmoid colon. Symptoms are the same as ulcerative proctitis. Left-sided Colitis: Inflammation is in the rectum, sigmoid colon, and descending colon. Also termed limited or distal colitis. Symptoms
