Abstract Background and study aims Severe fibrosis poses a challenge in colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Recently, the pocket-creation method (PCM) has been developed for overcoming various difficulties of ESD. A specific tapered hood is used adequate traction PCM, operability becomes stable pocket. In this study, we investigated efficacy PCM ESD cases with severe fibrosis. Patients methods We retrospectively reviewed 1000 consecutive (April 2006 to January 2017). Since...

This study aimed to objectively investigate whether the addition of polydextrose sterilized probiotic containing Lactobacillus helveticus will confer benefits constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome patients. A total 163 patients were randomized into two groups: Group consume 350 mL with 5.85 g daily for 1 week and B without polydextrose. Intestinal transit time, fecal pH, weight, modified Garrigues questionnaires pre- post-consumption assessed. Median intestinal time was...

There is a lack of non-invasive screening modalities to diagnose chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) and intestinal metaplasia (IM). Thus, the aim present study was determine sensitivity specificity serum pepsinogen I (PGI), PGI:II, PGI:II ratio gastrin-17 (G-17) in diagnosing CAG IM, correlations between these biomarkers pre-malignant gastric lesions. A cross-sectional 72 patients (82% calculated sample size) who underwent oesophageal-gastro-duodenoscopy for dyspepsia performed study. The mean...

Backgrounds . The aim of this study was to appraise the relationship between serum fragmented cytokeratin-18(CK-18), controlled attenuation parameter (CAP), and liver steatosis assessed by ultrasound (US) in nonalcoholic fatty disease (NAFLD) patients. Methods Patients who underwent abdominal US were recruited, followed with measurement CAP using Fibroscan ® CK-18 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. degree categorized into mild (S1), moderate (S2), severe (S3). Results A total 109 patients...

High-grade dysplasia (HGD) and T1 lesions are accidentally resected by cold snare polypectomy (CSP) the characteristics, follow-up of them has not been reported. In this study, we analyzed histopathological findings recurrence them.This was a multicenter retrospective-cohort study. We collected HGD ≤ 10 mm CSP among 15 520 patients receiving from 2014 to 2019 at nine related institutions, extracted only cases definite colonoscopy after lesions. these tumor's characteristics therapeutic...

Gut dysbiosis is linked with the pathophysiology of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Manipulation intestinal microbiota using cultured milk drinks may stimulate immune system, hence providing beneficial support in IBS treatment. This study aimed to investigate effects drink on clinical symptoms, transit time (ITT), fecal pH and cytokines constipation-predominant (IBS-C) as compared non-IBS participants.Each recruited participant was given three bottles 125 ml containing 109 cfu Lactobacillus...

Backgrounds . With respect to the knife’s design in colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), diameter, water jet function, and electric power are important because these relate efficient dissection. In this study, we analyzed a novel, narrow ball tip-typed ESD knife with function (Flush BT-S, diameter: 2.2 mm, length: 2000 Fujifilm Co., Tokyo, Japan) compared regular diameter BT, 2.6 1800 mm). Methods laboratory clinical research, power, insertion time, vacuum/suction amount...

Abstract COVID‐19 rarely causes lower gastrointestinal bleeding even though its RNA has been detected in patient's stool. Urgent colonoscopy a patient with massive bloody stool requires various procedural and equipment considerations. Here, we present case of colonoscopic hemostasis cecal hemorrhagic ulceration on heparin for coagulopathy. We also share management methods the prevention contamination. A 71‐year‐old man was diagnosed pneumonia subsequently underwent hemodiafiltration. Heparin...

Background and study aims Submucosal (SM) injection is a critical step in endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). In Japan, use of viscous solutions such as sodium hyaluronate are recommended; the commercially product available MucoUp (Seikagaku Co. Boston Scientific Japan Co., Japan). Nevertheless, expensive unavailable many Western countries. For past 8 years, we have been using low-cost sterile teardrops solution composed 0.4 % (Adaptis Fresh, Legrand Laboratory, Brazil).

Abstract Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is recognized as an important technique in the nonsurgical management of early gastrointestinal carcinoma and it continuously undergoing evolution terms equipment. The pocket-creation method was recently developed for overcoming various difficulties such large tumor size severe fibrosis ESD. Circumferential ESDs are rare pose technical difficulties. We present a case circumferential rectal ESD using with two pockets. associated planning,...

Cold snare polypectomy (CSP) should be performed for benign lesions, though an accurate diagnosis is sometimes difficult with only white light observation. Irregular findings by narrow-band imaging (NBI) are useful differentiating malignant lesions from and cases this finding not expected CSP. We present a diminutive T1 cancer resected CSP as reflection case. A 68-year-old man underwent colonoscopy surveillance after polypectomy. reddish polyp 4 mm in size was detected at the rectum.
