Abstract Background Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is an effective and safe treatment for achalasia, but often leads to posttreatment gastroesophageal reflux disease. The aim of this study was examine the incidence severity esophagitis after POEM identify associated predictive factors. Methods Patients who underwent between August 2011 December 2022 were included. Multivariate logistic regression used assess factors POEM. Key Results In total, 252 patients included; which, 46% female age...
Treatment for a chronic condition can pose heavy burden on young people and affect their quality of life. The present study examined people's experiences with treatment coping strategies.The body mapping method was employed, in which life-sized outline someone's is traced populated visual representations, symbols words. For the study, digital tool developed. This chat robot helps make map by asking questions about lives, wellbeing influence this. In two series three workshops, ten (16 to 25...
Approximately 1 in 10 patients with an ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is diagnosed Crohn's disease of the pouch (CDP). However, this diagnosis may be established inappropriately, as alternative underlying causes necessitating treatment approach, such long-term surgical sequelae, mimic CDP. In study, we aimed to identify and treated for CDP a (concurrent) diagnosis.
Abstract Introduction To guide good practices in patient and public involvement (PPI), several calls have been made to share detailed accounts of practical experiences. We describe our collaboration with young people a chronic condition (YPCC) the development, testing implementation digital communication tool MyBoT (Map your Burden Treatment). Methods was developed by team academic researchers, some whom were practising care providers, YPCC designers. In addition two co‐researchers research...
Abstract Background Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (BHD) is an inherited disease caused by pathogenic variants in the FLCN gene. One of characteristics increased risk for spontaneous pneumothorax, likely due to presence pulmonary cysts mainly distributed under carina. Due variable expression and lack awareness, BHD be underdiagnosed . We aimed examine prevalence patients presenting with apparent primary pneumothorax evaluate contribution chest CT establishing diagnosis. Methods Patients who...
Abstract Background and study aims Epiphrenic diverticula are rare mainly occur in patients with underlying esophageal motility disorders. The current standard treatment is surgical diverticulectomy often combined by myotomy associated significant adverse event (AE) rates. aim of this was to examine the efficacy safety peroral endoscopic reducing symptoms diverticula. Patients methods We performed a retrospective cohort including an diverticulum who underwent POEM between October 2014...
Abstract Background During ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) surgery for ulcerative colitis (UC), rectal dissection can be performed via close (CRD) or in a total mesorectal excision plane (TME). Although CRD should protect autonomic nerve function, this technique may more challenging than TME. The aim of study was to compare long-term outcomes patients undergoing and Methods This single-centre retrospective cohort included consecutive who underwent IPAA UC between January 2002 October...
Background Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is highly successful in treating patients with achalasia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence early adverse events (AEs) following POEM and assess whether post-procedural imaging by routine esophagram prevents serious AEs due detection esophageal leakage after POEM. Methods Patients who underwent between August 2011 December 2022 were included retrospective cohort study. Post-procedural graded according AGREE classification. Until...
Abstract Background Approximately 10% of ulcerative colitis (UC) patients undergoing ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) are believed to develop ‘de novo Crohn’s disease’ (CD) the pouch (1). Clear diagnostic criteria lacking, but diagnosis is mostly based on development fistula, strictures, treatment refractory disease, pre-pouch ileitis, or typical endoscopic findings fitting with CD, such as ulcers and patchy inflammation (1, 2). However, which this established may be caused by...
