Disease relevance of Colic

• RESULTS: All patients shared the following features: at least 1 episode of biliary colic, pancreatitis, or cholangitis; biochemical evidence of chronic cholestasis; recurrence of symptoms after cholecystectomy; presence of echogenic material in the intrahepatic bile ducts; and prevention of recurrence by ursodeoxycholic acid therapy [1].
• In the present report, we show that suramin inhibits the growth of human colic adenocarcinoma cells HT29-D4 and rapidly induces their differentiation into enterocyte-like cells [2].
• Risk factors for indinavir-related renal colic in HIV patients: predictive value of indinavir dose/body mass index [3].
• On 200 mg acarbose (six patients), inhibition of carbohydrate digestion was so profound as to lead to midevening hypoglycemia with severe flatulence and abdominal colic [4].
• Patients with diabetic autonomic neuropathy, although sensitive to the pressor effect of octreotide, often developed nausea or abdominal cramps after moderate doses (greater than 1.0 micrograms/kg) [5].

Psychiatry related information on Colic

• CONCLUSION: The results suggest a period of dietary modification with a low allergen diet and appropriate nutritional support should be considered in healthy infants with colic [6].
• A 30-year-old male Sumatran orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) presented with signs of depression, lethargy, anorexia, and diarrhea that progressed to acute colic [7].

High impact information on Colic

• Nifedipine in intestinal colic [8].
• Infantile colic. Association with lactose and milk intolerance [9].
• Treatment of biliary colic with diclofenac: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study [10].
• RESULTS: After intracolonic injection of glycerol, a strong abdominal colic occurred and was associated with an increase in long spike burst activity (+280%), which was eliminated by previous administration of lidocaine and was not observed after paraffin oil [11].
• Treatment of biliary colic with nitroglycerin [12].

Chemical compound and disease context of Colic

• Treatment of biliary colic with loxiglumide [13].
• Biliary colic on abrupt withdrawal of octreotide [14].
• Complications (renal colic, or pain and dysuria) occurred after a mean of 36 weeks (95% CI, 23-48) of indinavir treatment in 13 subjects (12.3%), eight of whom (62%) presented elevated creatinine during follow-up [15].
• CONCLUSIONS: Parenteral NSAIDs are more effective than placebo and as effective as analgesic agents in the treatment of acute renal colic [16].
• RESULTS: Thirteen patients complained of abdominal cramps, vomiting or diarrhoea during the study, and three patients had fumagillin withdrawn because of adverse events [17].

Biological context of Colic

• Intravenous glucagon and diuresis caused by diagnostic doses of sodium diatrizoate were used to treat 5 patients with ureteral colic and urographic findings consistent with partial obstruction by a ureteral calculus [18].
• A prospective randomized study was performed to compare the effect of acupuncture and intramuscular Avafortan injection in the treatment of renal colic [19].
• This is a case study of a 6-week-old infant referred for colic whose mother was using fluoxetine hydrochloride and breast feeding the infant [20].
• In this study, we have investigated the effect of hydrophobic and hydrophilic unconjugated bile acids (UBAs)-ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), lithocholic acid, and colic acid-on chemotaxis in adult and neonatal human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) [21].
• Epidemiology of urinary stone colic [22].

Anatomical context of Colic

• Induced phasic pain had all the characteristics of colic, usually lasted less than a minute in both small and large intestine, and while frequently beginning paracentrally, tended to spread across the midline with increasing severity [23].
• Suramin-induced differentiation of the human colic adenocarcinoma cell clone HT29-D4 in serum-free medium [24].
• At the peripheral level, desmopressin may alleviate the acute renal colic through its potent antidiuretic effect or by relaxing the renal pelvic and ureteral smooth muscles [25].
• Their antagonists ketanserin and methysergide seem to be promising drugs for treatment of acute ureteric colic or in preparing the ureter for ureteroscopy [26].
• Thirty-six patients with biliary colic and normal oral cholecystograms, upper gastrointestinal tract roentgenograms, and results of gallbladder ultrasonography underwent sincalide-stimulated biliary excretion scanning [27].

Gene context of Colic

• Selective COX-2 inhibitors may have significant clinical potential in treating renal colic as they cause less gastric ulceration [28].
• Pretreatment of HT29-D4 epithelial adenocarcinoma colic cells with des-IGF-1 upregulated TNF alpha-mediated activation of IL-8 expression at different levels (protein, mRNA, and hnRNA) [29].
• Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an enduring disease involving mostly young people, with symptoms of bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps [30].
• Weather and the incidence of urinary stone colic [31].
• Re: Renal colic during pregnancy: a case for conservative treatment [32].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Colic

• A randomized prospective double-blind study of the analgesic effect of 50 mg. intravenous indomethacin, a prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor, was done on 47 consecutive patients with acute ureteral colic [33].
• Indomethacin as prophylaxis against ureteral colic following extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy [34].
• MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 16 patients positive for human immunodeficiency virus on indinavir were evaluated for 18 episodes of severe renal colic requiring hospitalization [35].
• Although rare, haemobilia should be included in the differential diagnosis of obscure gastro-intestinal bleeding, particularly when accompanied by colic and jaundice [36].
• Toradol, an NSAID used for renal colic, decreases renal perfusion and ureteral pressure in a canine model of unilateral ureteral obstruction [37].
