Stem cell therapy enhances healing of NSAID-related peptic ulcer through reducing inflammation and stimulating proliferation angiogenesis.
Abstract Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is associated with significant postoperative pain. The external oblique intercostal (EOI) block a recently described superficial that can be performed in the supine position and provides effective pain relief for upper abdominal surgeries. This case series aim to describe use of EOI providing analgesia following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We reported three female patients, aged 62 71 years, who underwent under general anaesthesia an block. None...
To evaluate use of the implantable loop recorder in children.Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Glasgow, UK.Retrospective study children who had an between September 1998 and October 2005.38 devices were implanted 34 children. Median age at implantation 11.3 years (range 1.8-17.6); median follow-up period 15 months 2-58). The main presenting complaint was syncope 26 (76.5%), seizures 6 (17.6%) palpitations 2 (5.9%). After implantation, 19 (55.9%) patients symptom recurrence. Of these, 11...
Introduction: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is associated with postoperative gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and erosive esophagitis (EE). The role of crural repair during LSG still controversial. preoperative laxity the junction (GEJ), graded by Hill’s classification, more predictive for GERD EE after than presence a hiatal hernia seen on endoscopy. Thus, authors hypothesize that concomitant in specific subgroup patients lax GEJ (Hill’s III) may reduce incidence EE. Methods:...
Surgeons and endoscopists have started to use endoscopically inserted double pigtail stents (DPTs) in the management of upper gastrointestinal (UGI) leaks, including UGI anastomotic leaks. We investigated our own experiences this patient population.From March 2017 June 2020, 12 patients had endoscopic internal drainage a radiologically proven leak after surgery two tertiary centers. The primary outcome measure was time removal DPTs healing. secondary early oral feeding DPT insertion.Eight...
Magnetic sphincter augmentation with the LINX device (Torax Medical, Shoreview, Minnesota, USA) is an effective treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It associated shorter operating time and lower rate of gas bloat [1]. Erosion estimated to range from 0.1 % 1.2 %; it may be higher smaller device. The most common method removal involves a combined endoscopic-laparoscopic approach [2] [3]. Endoscopic using bipolar grasping has also been reported [4]. We report first case...
The Overstitch device has been used for closure of esophageal perforations [1]. A 40-year-old woman with type I achalasia underwent fluoroscopic pneumatic dilation in September 2015. Her mean lower sphincter (LES) pressure was 40 mmHg. She had 100 % aperistalsis and absence LES relaxation. Endoscopy showed a tight but traversable esophagogastric junction (EGJ). 30-mm balloon to perform 1 minute at 5 PSI followed by 8 PSI.
To review the efficacy and accuracy of GI Genius Intelligent Endoscopy Module Computer-Assisted Diagnosis (CADx) program in colonic adenoma detection real-time polyp characterization. Colonoscopy remains gold standard screening evaluation. The incorporation artificial intelligence (AI) technology therefore allows for optimized endoscopic performance. However, validation most CADx programs with real-world data scarce. This prospective cohort study was conducted within a single Singaporean...
Most medical schools teach communication with patients. But how many us to communicate other health professionals? <b>Baldwin Yeung</b> and <b>Siu Kwan Wong</b> discuss this gap in the curriculum
Abstract Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is one of the commonest bariatric procedures. However, it associated with postoperative gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and erosive esophagitis (EE). This study aims to assess impact various preoperative clinical endoscopic characteristics on development GERD EE. Methods: A single institution retrospective cohort involving all patients who underwent LSG. univariate multivariate analysis was performed identify parameters that...
Abstract Aim: Weight-based stigmatization is prevalent. They have been reported in schools, work and healthcare settings. However, almost all the literature on such weight-based stereotypes were from Western countries. The study aims to evaluate prevalence of an Asian population. Methods: An anonymized questionnaire-based cross-sectional was conducted. Respondents asked about their socioeconomic status, followed by questions perceived across 4 domains (self, social, healthcare, education). A...
Dear Editor,People with obesity contend obesity-related stigmas, in addition to health complications. 1 In contrast the West, literature documenting prevalence of such stigmas Asia is sparse.We report perceived weight-based stigmatisation Singapore.An anonymised questionnaire was administered 101 consecutive patients presenting a multidisciplinary weight management clinic single centre Singapore (Table 1).It based on by UK All-Party Parliamentary Group Obesity 2018. 2 The comprised...
