“…In some studies on bacteremia after an endoscopic procedure, the incidence of transient bacteremia was 4.3-31.9% [12][13][14] . In another study, the estimated significant bacteremia rate after a CT colonography is 0-3.7% 15 . In a study by Sharif-Kashani et al , after a flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy, transient bacteremia occurred in 1 patient (1.1%) and fever in 9 patients (10.5%) in the first 24 hours 16 .…”

Objectives: Drug fever and procedure-related fever are the causes of nosocomial fever. Oriental medicine has been practiced in Asia and is now being practiced as an alternative medicine in western countries. No data are available on the incidence of drug fever and procedure-related fever in oriental medical hospitals (OMHs). The aim of this study was to identify the incidence of drug fever related to oriental herbal medicine and oriental medical procedure-related fever.Methods: This was a retrospective study at one OMH of a university medical institute in Seoul, Korea, conducted from June 2006 to June 2013.Results: Overall, 95 episodes of drug fever occurred among 10880 patients treated with herbal medicine (0.89%). Peak body temperature was 38.37±0.58 ℃, and the fever lasted for 1.0 day (range 1.0-17.0 days). Eosinophilia was found in 15 patients (15.79%) and 8 patients developed toxic hepatitis (8.42%). Five patients had a drug-related skin rash (5.26%). The most common ingredients of the herbal medicines associated with drug fever were licorice, Angelica gigas root, and white Atractylodes rhizome. In total, 16 episodes of procedure-related fever (0.20%) occurred in 8125 patients treated with oriental medical procedures. The peak body temperature was 38.26±0.51 ℃, and the fever lasted for 1.0 day (range 1.0-3.0 days). Among various oriental medical procedures, moxibustion was the most common procedure related to fever, followed by acupuncture.Conclusions: The incidence of drug fever and procedure-related fever in oriental medicine is not high compared with the incidence in western medicine.

“…However, a retrospective study of patients aged over 70 years demonstrated no significant changes in serum urea, sodium, potassium, or estimated glomerular filtration rate when using sodium picosulfate-magnesium citrate catharsis prior to CTC [37]. Finally, although it has been suggested that bacteria introduced during colonography could risk infection of prosthetic vascular grafts, a study of 100 consecutive patients subject to serial blood cultures following CTC failed to showed significant bacteremia, and suggested antibiotic prophylaxis is not required [38].…”

Computed tomographic (CT) colonography is being implemented increasingly in the USA and Europe, and in many centers it has become the radiological technique of choice for imaging the whole colorectum. Although high diagnostic accuracy has been demonstrated in both screening and symptomatic populations, controversy persists regarding implementation, who should interpret the examination, and its cost effectiveness, particularly in the context of primary colorectal cancer screening. Published research in recent years has demonstrated efficacy in a wide range of patient groups, striking technical improvements, and high levels of patient acceptability. New developments continue in the fields of computer aided detection, digital cleansing, and integration into positron emission tomography. The purpose of this review is to bring the reader up-to-date with the latest developments in CT colonography, in particular, those of the last year.
