The article describes a clinical observation of Ledd’s syndrome complicated by total megacolon. The epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of this pathology are discussed.
The article contains the main available data on the structures called neutrophil extracellular traps (NECs), the mechanisms of their formation and participation in pathophysiological processes are considered. Currently, scientific literature sources contain data on the structure of NVL and their role in the processes of antibacterial protection, thrombosis, as well as various neoplastic processes. However, there is no definite data regarding the exact role of NVL in the oncological process, and the duality of their influence in relation to tumor cells remains a matter of debate. In addition, data on the diagnostic significance of traps in clinical practice are also lacking.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
