Pathology of the defunctioned rectum in ulcerative colitis.
Warren, B F, Shepherd, N A, Bartolo, D C, Bradfield, J W
Faecal stream diversion may induce inflammatory changes in the defunctioned segment of the large intestine. These changes are predominantly mucosal, although confusing histological features including...
The use of conventional electromyography to assess external sphincter neuropathy in man.
Bartolo, D C, Jarratt, J A, Read, N W
Conventional electromyography was used to measure motor unit potential duration in the external anal sphincter in normal subjects and patients with idiopathic faecal incontinence. The results...
Treatment of thyroid carcinoma in 107 cases.
Bartolo, D. C., Kay, P. H., Talbot, C. H.
One hundred and seven patients with thyroid carcinoma were treated. Thirty-one per cent of the tumours were papillary, 27% were follicular, 28% anaplastic, 4% medullary, and 10% were lymphomas. In...
