OBJECTIVES: Anticoagulants carry a significant risk of gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB). Data regarding the safety anticoagulation continuation/cessation after GIB are limited. We sought to determine and continuation GIB. METHODS: conducted prospective observational cohort study on consecutive patients admitted hospital who had while systemic anticoagulation. Patients were classified into two groups at discharge GIB: those resumed discontinued. in both contacted by phone 90 days following...
One carbon (1C) metabolism nutrients influence epigenetic regulation and they are supplied by diet synthesized gut microbiota. We examined the association between dietary consumption of methyl donors (methionine, betaine choline) B vitamins (folate, B2, B6, B12) community composition structure colonic mucosa-associated microbiota determined 16S rRNA gene sequencing in 97 biopsies 35 men. used food frequency questionnaire to assess daily nutrients, UPARSE SILVA databases for operational...
Lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage is a common cause of hospitalization and has substantial associated morbidity financial cost. CT angiography (CTA) emerging as an alternative to (99m)Tc-labeled RBC scintigraphy (RBC scintigraphy) for the localization acute lower bleeding (LGIB); however, data on comparative efficacy are scant. The aim this study was assess utility CTA compared with in overall evaluation management LGIB.We retrospectively reviewed images from all examinations performed...
The management of ultrashort (< 1cm) Barrett's esophagus (BE) remains unclear. We aimed to determine the prevalence BE (USBE) at index diagnosis, identify factors associated with persistent after USBE and risk dysplasia initial in a population United States veterans. This was retrospective cohort study Veterans Affairs hospital Houston, TX consecutive patients new diagnosis from 11/1990 6/2022 follow-up through 4/2023. Using pathology database, we identified any subsequent follow up EGD....
The diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis in patients with characteristic symptoms but normal pancreatic imaging is challenging. Assessment function through secretin testing (SPFT) has been advocated this setting, its diagnostic accuracy not fully known.This was a retrospective review who received SPFT at our tertiary care institution between January 1995 and December 2008 for suspected pancreatitis. For all patients, medical records were reviewed evidence subsequent development by and/or...
The relationship between the diffusion coefficient and viscosity has been examined in computer simulations for a number of ions diffusing molten salt (alkali halide) solvent. comparison gives measure hydrodynamic radius which is then compared with bare ionic characteristic coordination complex formed by halide around polyvalent cations. K(+) Cl(-) appear to diffuse as isolated spherical particles, whereas trivalent cations Sc(3+), Y(3+), La(3+) if an intact shell. These different behaviors...
Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a rare, heterogeneous, fibroinflammatory disorder of the pancreas. It has gained increasing recognition due to presentation that can mimic difficult treat disorders such as pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma and primary sclerosing cholangitis. In contrast, autoimmune benign disease very responsive therapy with corticosteroids. There are two types AIP. Type 1 most common worldwide associated extrapancreatic manifestations elevated levels IgG4-positive...
<b>Background and study aims:</b> Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is associated with significant morbidity. The Glasgow Blatchford Score (GBS) can predict endoscopic intervention in-hospital death, but the ability to post-discharge outcomes unknown. aims of were determine whether admission GBS rebleeding 30-day readmission following hospitalization for UGIB. <b>Patients methods:</b> In this prospective, observational, cohort study, consecutive patients who hospitalized UGIB enrolled....
Cystic fibrosis liver disease (CFLD) is a rapidly progressive biliary fibrosis, resembling primary sclerosing cholangitis that develops in 5-10% of patients with cystic fibrosis. Further research and evaluation therapies are hampered by the lack mouse model for CFLD. Although linked to both ulcerative colitis loss transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) ion channel function, induction dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) cftr(-/-) mice causes bile duct injury but no Since profibrogenic modifier...
Clinical guidelines reserve endoscopic surveillance after a gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) diagnosis for high-risk patients. However, it is unclear how closely are followed in clinical practice. We examined the effectiveness of standardized protocol management GIM among gastroenterologists at US hospital.
