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
The toxic substance I believed the drug used in the enema was the Nembutal she supposedly overdosed on. The other theory many people seem to believe is that she simply amassed on a great dosage of the nembutal pills. I believe the coroner just said she overdosed on the pills because it would be easier to
absorbs X rays to show an outline of the intestines on the developed film. A barium enema is performed to examine the walls of the colon. During the procedure, a well lubricated enema tube is inserted gently into the rectum. The barium is then allowed to flow into the colon. The flow of the barium is monitored by the health care provider on an X-ray fluoroscope screen. The test is used to detect colon cancer. The barium enema may also be used to diagnose and evaluate the extent of inflammatory bowel diseases
Ulcerative Colitis Is fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) effective treatment for patients with Ulcerative Colitis (UC). UC is a chronic inflammation of the large intestine. FMT is used to describe the delivery of a healthy donors stool into a patient via enema, colonoscope, or nasogastric tube. In the past several years FMT has been used for an alternative treatment with patients diagnosed with Clostridium difficile (CD). The purpose of this paper is to discuss if FMT is just as effective in treating UC
first-line treatment is therapy with 5-aminosalicylic acid (Mesalamine). Other trade names include: Apriso (Extended Release capsules), Asacol & Lialda (Delayed Release tablets), Canasa (suppository), Pentasa (Controlled Release capsules) and Rowasa (Enema).

hours before the examination, the patient self administers a laxative, which loosens the stool and increases passage. This may be done orally in liquid or capsule form. An enema, which is a procedure that entails flushing water into the rectum is also conducted. Patients are advised to ensure easy access to a toilet as bother enemas and laxatives may induce diarrhea. This bowel preparation is critical to the success of the FS procedure, without which visualization of the sigmoid colon will be nearly
consequently able to penetrate through thicker mediums. (howstuffworks, 2013)‘Barium Enema’ is an examination of the intestines in which a small amount of radioactive material (Barium) is inserted into the body; showing doctors even the smallest of blockages through the use of a screen. Cardiologists also use a form of X-ray (an angiogram) in order to detect blockages. This works in a very similar manner to that of the Barium Enema. Mammograms are used to diagnose abnormalities such as breast cancer and use
Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by uncontrollable cell growth. Colon cancer forms when cells in the large intestine grow uncontrollably. Most colon cancers come from small, benign tumors known as adenomatous polyps that form on the inner walls of the large intestine. Some of these polyps can grow and become malignant colon cancers over time if they are not removed during a colonoscopy. Colon cancer cells will invade and hurt healthy tissues that are near the tumor creating a lot of problems
autopsy they didn’t find any pills what so ever in her stomach. And one of the famous causes of death supposedly believed is she overdosed on purpose. Three: What did they did find inside the star, was a lethal injection of enema. Why would Marilyn inject herself with enema? That doesn’t make any sense. And lastly, reason Four: It was said on the crime scene that pills and pill bottles were strategically placed around Monroe’s body on the crime scene. That already sounds suspicious enough. Another

The most traumatic experience and the one that causes the most trouble, functionally, in Sybil’s life is the enema scene. Again, attempting to cleanse Ruthie, her mother inserts an enema filled with ice cold water and forces Ruthie to hold her bladder while her mother plays the piano.

How to Survive Portuguese Taxi Ride Less than twenty-four hours after arriving in Portugal, I was introduced to my first taxi ride. I was traveling with a native Portuguese girl, Sandra Batista. Sandra called a taxi to take us to our home. I hadn't, yet, experienced a taxi ride in Portugal. I had heard how dreadful these rides can be, especially the first time. "Consider yourself forewarned," a friend had cautioned a few minutes before I boarded the plane. He was, of course, referring
