“…2 Importantly, this is in contrast to Asian series, where the incidence ranges from 22 to 50%. 1,3 When compared with sigmoid diverticulosis, cecal, or rightsided diverticulosis has several manifestations. In younger patients, it can occur in the form of a single, true diverticula near the ileocecal valve; in elderly patients, it can occur as a manifestation of pan-colonic diverticulosis or in association with a malignancy.…”

“…In Western countries, CRD is mainly located in the left-side colon, and multiple diverticula are more common [16,17]. In Asian countries, CRD is mainly located in the right-side colon, and single diverticulum is more frequent [18]. We found that, regardless of gender and age, CRD often involved a single segment, predominately seen in the right-side colon (77.0% for male and 74.1% for female) and the rarest in rectum.…”

Aim: To analyze the epidemiological features of colorectal diverticulum (CRD) in China. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed CRD patients in 8 tertiary hospitals located in 5 regions of China from 2000 to 2016. The detection rates, number and distribution, demographic information, concomitant disorders, and their associations were investigated. Results: Of 3,446,118 cases, 7,964 (2.3%) were CRD with a mean age of 56 years (11–92 years). The detection rate increased yearly and with increasing age. Males had a higher detection rate than females (3.0 vs. 1.47%, p < 0.01) and 1.8-times higher increase rate. The detection rate increased with age; however, females of > 60 years had a 2.8-times increasing rate than males. CRD occurred most frequently in the right-side colon, followed by rectum. Multiple diverticula were common in males and increased with age, with a 3-times higher increase rate than single lesion. Single-segment CRD occurred more frequently in males than in females (80.1 vs. 76.4%, p < 0.01). Concurred colon polyps were seen in 51.05% cases. Conclusion: CRD detection rates increased annually and with age, particularly in senior females in China. Multiple diverticula were common in males and increased with age. CRD was predominant in the right-side colon. Polyps are the most common comorbidity associated with CRD.

Gastrointestinal (GI) ailments cover a wide variety of diseases involving the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and rectum. They bring about many inconveniences in daily life in chronic diseases and can even be life threatening in acute cases. Rapid and safe detection approaches are essential for early diagnosis and timely management. Contrast agents for GI imaging can enhance contrast to distinguish abnormal lesions from normal structures. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are two important diagnostic tools for the evaluation of GI conditions. This review mainly involves several common GI diseases, including inflammatory diseases, intestinal tumors, diarrhea, constipation, and gastroesophageal reflux diseases. Selected contrast agents, such as barium sulfate, iodine‐based agents, gadolinium‐based agents, and others, are summarized. Going forward, continued endeavors are being made to develop more emerging contrast agents for other imaging modalities.

Pattern and distribution of colonic diverticulosis: Analysis of 2877 barium enemas in Thailand

Abstract: Colonic diverticulosis was identified in 28.5% of DCBE examinations in Thai adults. There was no association between the presence of diverticulosis and gender or age.
