The aetiology of ulcerative colitis (UC) is largely unknown, although it plausible that dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) may be protective. Metabolites derived from PUFAs are less proinflammatory than those n-6 PUFAs. Earlier, no prospective cohort studies have investigated this hypothesis, using information collected food diaries. aim study was to investigate the total intake and specific PUFAs, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) docosahexaenoic (DHA) on risk developing incident...
The Asia-Pacific region has the largest number of cases colorectal cancer (CRC) and one highest levels mortality due to this condition in world. Since publishing two consensus recommendations 2008 2015, significant advancements have been made our knowledge epidemiology, pathology natural history adenoma-carcinoma progression. Based on most updated epidemiological clinical studies region, considering literature from international studies, adopting modified Delphi process, Working Group...
Quality metrics for Barrett's esophagus (BE) are anticipated to improve outcomes patients through earlier detection of neoplasia. The European Society Gastrointestinal Endoscopy has developed guidelines homogenize endoscopic quality in BE. Our study aimed assess the impact recommended key performance measures (KPMs) and their sustainability. A single-center, retrospective (Phase 1) was conducted over 8 weeks. KPMs assessed were: pre-procedure including indication, consent, safety checklist...
Despite endometriosis being a relatively common chronic gynecological condition in women of childbearing age, small bowel is rare. Presentations can vary from completely asymptomatic to reported symptoms abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea. The following two cases depict very atypical manifestations ileal that presented as obscure intermittent gastrointestinal bleeding obstruction requiring surgical intervention. first case describes previously healthy 40-year-old woman with severe...
Background The tumor microenvironment comprises stromal cells, a few immune vascular channels, and an extracellular matrix. cells play pivotal role in arresting the development of various tumors by identifying killing abnormal cells. These with cytotoxic function include natural killer (NK) CD8+ T lymphocytes. Human NK express cell surface marker CD57 can be identified using monoclonal antibodies. are critical subpopulation important mediators adaptive immunity. anti-tumor immunity is to...
Colorectal polyps are removed to prevent progression colorectal cancer. Polyp size is an important factor for risk stratification of malignant transformation. Endoscopic estimation correlates poorly with pathological reports and several factors have been suggested influence estimation. We aimed gain insight into the influencing endoscopic polyp estimation.Images in artificial model were obtained at 1, 3, 5 cm from colonoscope's tip. Participants asked estimate diameter volume each...

Abstract Background Improving the quality of colonoscopy in inflammatory bowel disease is expected to improve clinical outcomes for patients. The European Society Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) recently published key performance measures IBD assessment. This study aimed assess impact implementing and sustainable improvement through a multimodal education intervention. Methods A baseline retrospective analysis was performed patients with established between June August 2022 at tertiary...
Abstract Background Red Density (RD) is an automated endoscopic tool that developed for the objective evaluation of disease activity in ulcerative colitis (UC). The initial development integrated histological based on Robarts index (RHI) machine learning algorithm. New scores UC have been since. aim this study was to establish correlation between RD and Nancy (NHI) PICaSSO Histologic Remission Index (PHRI). Methods Patients included 4 centers ongoing PROCEED-UC (NCT04408703) had assessment...
A case of a 26-year-old female who was apparently healthy without any comorbidities presented with history headache, which gradually progressive over 2 months features suggestive raised intracranial pressure. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) study done, revealed chronic meningitis. Indian ink staining CSF showed Cryptococcus , and the species identified as gattii . She did not have respiratory symptoms, but chest radiography consolidative patch caused by growing yeasts mimicking mass. Cryptococcal...
