.Abstract

Inflammatory myoglandular polyps (IMGPs) are rare intestinal polyps that occur frequently in the left colon and may present with hematochezia. Only a small number of cases have been reported in the right colon (2%). We present a case of IMGP in the proximal ascending colon. A 46-year-old woman of mixed ethnicity presented with a history of abdomino-pelvic pain and constipation. CT scan suggested possibility of malignancy. On colonoscopy, a non-obstructive polyp in proximal ascending colon was biopsied followed by right hemicolectomy. Patient also underwent total abdominal hysterectomy at the same time for fibroids. The colonic polyp revealed features of IMGP with focal adenomatous changes. The polyp was characterized by epithelial erosion, inflamed granulation tissue, hyperplastic and dilated glands, and proliferating smooth muscle. IMGP needs to be distinguished from other non-neoplastic colonic polyps, which includes Peutz-Jeghers polyps, inflammatory pseudopolyps, juvenile polyps, and inflammatory fibroid polyps. We report a large sized inflammatory myoglandular polyp with suspicious imaging findings and presence of adenomatous changes that mimicked malignancy that requires comprehensive evaluation and follow up.

Abstract  Small bowel obstruction is a common presentation to the emergency department, with causes including adhesions, hernia, malignancy, volvulus or complications of inflammatory bowel disease such as a stricture in Crohn’s disease. Indeed, it accounts for 20% of hospital admissions annually. Phytobezoars are a concentration of poorly digested fruit such as orange pith or pulp and vegetable fibres found in the alimentary tract in patients with a history of previous surgery or persimmon in patients without [1].

Psychological Problems of Human Aging *Corresponding author: Fayzullina Ilnura Ibragimovna, Department of Psychology, Russian State Social University, Moscow, Russia, Tel: 7-910-273-22-63; E-mail: ilmedv1@yandex.ru Citation: Fayzullina II, et al. Psychological Problems of Human Aging. Clin Image Case Rep J. 2020; 2(1): 110. Abstract Gerontological science has always paid special attention to the psychological aspects of aging. It is recognized that in the course of aging in human psychology there are various changes that have both positive and negative sides. In the elderly, sensitivity to mental and emotional overload increases. This leads to the fact that older people may be inferior to those of mature age in a number of indicators of mental activity. At the heart of the evolving changes are biological causes and the social limitations that arise in the elderly, as well as accumulating earlier losses and negative emotional upheavals. It is generally believed that the w...
