BACK AND STUDY AIMS: Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is used to treat premalignant and malignant digestive tract lesions. This report presents the efficacy safety of EMR for squamous superficial neoplastic esophageal lesions.A retrospective cohort study presented data from 51 patients with 54 lesions over an 8-year period, between November 1997 September 2005. Dysplasas or (m) T1 carcinomas were treated repeated until there was a complete local remission. Patients submucosal (sm) more...
<b>Background and study aim: </b>As duodenal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare, their optimal management has not been clearly established. The aim of this was to evaluate the feasibility outcome endoscopic treatment NETs. <b>Patients methods: </b>We reviewed files all patients who underwent resection a sporadic or ampullary NET between 1996 2014 at two centers. <b>Results:</b> A total 29 with 32 uT1N0M0 NETs < 20 mm were included. Treatment consisted mucosal in 19 cases, cap aspiration...
Background and Aims . Malnutrition is common in patients with chronic liver disease. We aimed to evaluate malnutrition assessment tools predicting severity survival of cirrhosis. Material Methods examined Nutritional evaluation was performed on admission, using subjective global (SGA), handgrip strength (HGS), anthropometry. Patients were followed up for 6 months. Results included 100 patients, 72 men, mean age 59.2 years. According disease severity, 23% Child-Pugh A, 46% B, 31% C. SGA HGS...
Prevalence of malnutrition in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) varies between 16% and 75%. Data on the nutritional status at initial diagnosis ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's Disease (CD) are scarce. It is believed that more than 50% IBD patients suffer significant weight loss prior to diagnosis. The aims our study were assess recently diagnosed with determine its predictive factors.We retrospectively included 625 registered Romanian "IBD Prospect" database January 2006 July 2017. All...
The ENKI-2 water-jet system for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) combines saline pressure injection with dissection. aim of this study was to compare a standard device in terms procedure time and perforation rate during colorectal ESD.In randomized comparative study, 10 30-mm-diameter lesions were created the colon rectum healthy adult pigs. ESD rates recorded Dual Knife method. Each pig had half dissected by Knife. One experienced one inexperienced endoscopist took part study.A total...
<b>Background and study aim:</b> Gastrointestinal endoscopy is a rapidly evolving research field. The European Society of Endoscopy (ESGE) plays key role in shaping opinion activity throughout Europe further afield. Establishing unanswered questions within the field prioritizing those that are important enables researchers funders to appropriately allocate resources. <b>Methods:</b> Over 2 years, ESGE Research Committee gathered information on priorities refined them through modified Delphi...
Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the most prevalent neoplastic lethal pancreatic disease, has a poor prognosis and an increasing incidence. The insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) signaling pathway is considered to be contributing factor progression, metastasis, therapy resistance of PDAC. Currently available treatment options for PDAC are limited, but microRNAs (miRNAs) may represent new therapeutic strategy targeting genes involved in IGF-1R pathway. Method:...
Shiga-like toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a well-known cause of foodborne acute diarrheic diseases especially in children and the elderly. The potentially fatal complications associated with production range from bloody diarrhoea ischemic colitis to kidney failure, haemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) colon perforation.
 We describe case literature review STEC – induced colitis, highlighting clinical features, necessary tools for best diagnosis approach management. Facing...
Background and aims. Clinically significant delayed bleeding (CSDB) may complicate endoscopic colorectal submucosal dissection (ESD). Methods. We assessed the results of a prospective registry ESD. evaluated effect clip closure PuraStat application for prevention CSDB. Results. 40 patients with 41 ESD were included. was successful in 38 lesions (92.7%), 35 R0 resection (92.1%) 33 curative (86.8%). CSDB occurred 3 out (7.9%, 95% CI [1.7 – 21.4%]), exclusively after rectal (3 22 vs. 0 16...
