Small polyps are the most frequently detected lesions during colonoscopy, with an incomplete resection rate of 6.8% to 15.9%. This study aimed improve small polyp cold snare radicality using submucosal contrast dye pre-lifting (PL+CSP). single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial compared standard polypectomy technique (PL-CSP) PL+CSP evaluate endoscopic and histological complete rates, adverse events, procedural times, retrieval failure rates. In 143 patients consecutively...
Background & AimsThis cohort study compared colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality between people who participated in an Italian regional biennial fecal immunochemical test (FIT) screening program did not.MethodsThe started 2005. The target population included over 1,000,000 aged 50 to 69 years. FIT was a one-sample OC-Sensor (Eiken Chemical Co, Tokyo, Japan) (cutoff, ≥20 μg hemoglobin/g feces). average annual response rate invitation 51.4%. records of invited up June 2016 were...
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a biennial faecal immunochemical test (FIT) screening programme in reducing annual colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence its dynamic target population.The population included over 1,000,000 persons aged 50-69 living region northern Italy. The average response rate invitation was 51.4%. Each observed age-standardised (Europe) per 100,000 between 2005, year introduction programme, and 2016 compared with each expected as estimated age-period-cohort...
Acid suppressing drugs (ASD) are generally used in acute pancreatitis (AP); however, large cohorts not available to understand their efficiency and safety. Therefore, our aims were evaluate the association between administration of ASDs, outcome AP, frequency gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding GI infection patients with AP. We initiated an international survey performed retrospective data analysis on AP hospitalized January 2013 December 2018. Data 17,422 adult collected from 59 centers 23...
Abstract Psychological characterization of patients affected by Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) focuses on comorbidity with psychiatric disorders, somatization or alexithymia. Whereas IBD had higher risk stable anxiety and depression for many years after the diagnosis disease, there is a lack studies reporting comprehensive psychosomatic assessment addressing factors disease vulnerability, also in long-term. The objective this investigation to fill gap current literature. aims were thus...
Abstract Few studies have investigated psychosocial characteristics and lifestyle behaviors of participants at programs for secondary prevention colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed, through a comprehensive psychosomatic assessment based on clinimetric principles, to evaluate in CRC program, investigate the associations between these variables endoscopic outcomes. In this cross-sectional study, first 150 consecutive asymptomatic program who resulted positive fecal occult blood test...
Esophageal involvement of tuberculosis is uncommon and two types have been described [1]. Primary esophageal rare because mucosal protection factors, squamous epithelium, peristalsis, saliva, erect posture. Secondary more common defined as secondary the esophagus owing to adjacent pulmonary parenchyma, medi-astinal lymph nodes, or vertebral column [2].
Abstract Text A 60-year-old woman, with a past medical history of cholecystectomy,was admitted to our department for jaundice, fever and leukocytosis. Computerized Tomography scan showed dilated remnant cystic duct (RCD) thickened hyperintense walls, without clear evidence stones. EUS evaluation an enlarged RCD hypoechoic walls 15 mm stone inside. The patient, unsuitable surgery after unsuccessful stones clearance using conventional ERCP techniques, underwent cholangioscopy which 2 impacted...
Aims pNENs are rare neoplasms with rapidly increasing incidence in last years. Their management implies using considerable resources. Multidisciplinary discussion of tumors has become a cornerstone clinical oncology practice even though there no studies demonstrating the benefit.
Aims To date sedation protocol for colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has not been standardized. [1] In a recent Italian survey 48,2% of responders perform ESD with anaesthesiologist assisted deep sedation. [2] A randomized controlled trial showed an higher incidence (37.9%) procedure discontinuation in upper GI when performed midazolam administration. [3]
The advent of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and full-thickness resection (EFTR) have changed the treatment scenario for recurrent polyps, which represented one bigger challenges endoscopists when mucosal (EMR) was only available technique. However, these two techniques some limits: high grade fibrosis may reduce possibility performing ESD increase risk perforation [1] [2], while size, thickness, rigidity lesion, mobility wall, location limit EFTR [3] [4]. Our aim to evaluate...
Abstract Background and study aims Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) injuries (MSIs) are frequent in gastrointestinal endoscopy. The aim of this was to assess potential ergonomic advantages a lighter single-use duodenoscope compared with standard reusable one for endoscopists performing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Methods Three experienced performed an ergonomic, preclinical, comparative protocol-guided simulation using anatomic bench model. Surface EMG signals from...
