| Abstract |
Twenty-one patients with a solitary ulcer of the rectum were treated with instructions for a high-fiber diet and abstention of straining at defecation, since there is evidence that the solitary ulcer syndrome is caused by chronic mechanical and ischemic trauma, by hard stools, and intussusception of the mucosa. In 15 patients disappearance of symptoms and complete ulcer healing was obtained in an average period of 10.5 months (range 2.5-21 months). In the other six patients the lesions remained unchanged. The results demonstrate that softening of stools and normalization of defecation habits should be the mainstay in the treatment of this otherwise chronic disorder with poor healing tendency. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 August 2019.
All research outputs
#7,917,073
of 23,854,458 outputs
Outputs from Digestive Diseases and Sciences
#1,379
of 4,304 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#2,764
of 10,158 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Digestive Diseases and Sciences
#3
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,854,458 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,304 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.8. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 10,158 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 5 of them.
