EUS-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) is a feasible procedure when ERCP fails, as percutaneous transhepatic BD (PTBD). However, little known about patient perception and preference of EUS-BD PTBD.An international multicenter survey was conducted in seven tertiary referral centers. In total, 327 patients, scheduled to undergo for suspected malignant obstruction, were enrolled the study. Patients received decision aids with visual representation regarding techniques, benefits, adverse events...
Our aim was to determine the impact of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on diagnosis and prognosis colorectal cancer (CRC).
Abstract Background and aims Protein‐losing enteropathy (PLE) after Fontan surgery carries significant morbimortality. Its pathophysiology association with other complications are poorly understood. Our were to examine whether Fontan‐PLE is associated greater liver damage assess the presence of systemic intestinal inflammation. Methods patients PLE controls without matched for age procedure included. Data prospectively compiled on blood stool tests, imaging, elastography, cardiac‐MRI cardiac...
Abstract Background Helicobacter pylori antibiotic resistance is an increasing problem worldwide. Pylera ® may be option as salvage therapy. Aim To assess the effectiveness, safety, and tolerance of a third‐line in clinical practice. Materials Methods This was multicenter, observational, prospective database study four Spanish hospitals. Consecutive H. ‐infected individuals treated with proton‐pump inhibitor ( PPI ) were invited to participate if they had failed respond...
Abstract Background CDH1 and CTNNA1 remain as the main genes for hereditary gastric cancer. However, they only explain a small fraction of cancer cases with suspected inherited basis. In this study, we aimed to identify new early-onset patients (EOGC; < 50 years old). Methods After germline exome sequencing in 20 EOGC replication relevant findings by gene-panel an independent cohort 152 patients, CTNND1 stood out interesting candidate gene, since its protein product (p120ctn) directly...
Liver injury has been widely described in patients with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We aimed to study the effect of liver biochemistry alterations, previous disease, and value elastography on hard clinical outcomes COVID-19 patients. conducted a single-center prospective observational 370 consecutive admitted for polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-confirmed pneumonia. Clinical laboratory data were collected at baseline parameters events recorded during follow-up. Transient [with...
To describe how mesalazine (MSZ) is used in our practice ulcerative colitis (UC), at what dose, and the success rate (regarding adherence to therapy).Observational, transversal study, including all patients with UC MSZ maintenance therapy seen from September 2014 February 2015 two IBD units Spain. Treatment was measured by Morisky-Green scale.We included 203 (mean dose: 2.6 ± 1.0 g/d; median of treatment: 19.5 months [IQR: 8-48]). Doses < 2 g/d were 15.3% cases, 2-2.9 doses 35.0%, 3-3.9...
The need for endoscopic investigation in patients with iron deficiency without anemia (ID) is not established.Data from ID (serum ferritin ≤20 ng/mL, normal hemoglobin) studied upper and lower endoscopies were retrospectively analyzed. Patients evaluated (IDA) served as controls, matched by sex age the proportion of 2:1. groups compared presence, type, location distribution findings.Altogether 109 (55% women; mean 59.6 ± 13.5 years; aged <50 years [27.5%]; 50-69 [43.1%]; ≥70 [29.4%])...
Cellulitis is a common infection in patients with cirrhosis but its impact on progression of liver disease has been hardly addressed. This study examines the incidence acute kidney injury (AKI), predictive factors and impacts mortality cirrhotic hospitalized for cellulitis.Retrospective data from cellulitis over period January 2006 to September 2015 were analysed. AKI was defined according revised criteria International Club Ascites.A total 101 episodes examined (70.3% men; mean age 60.6 ±...
