Background and study aims: Population-based screening for colorectal cancer is widely recommended, with conventional colonoscopy considered to be the preferred diagnostic modality. However, compliance low manpower capacity limited. Capsule endoscopy might therefore represent a desirable alternative strategy. Patients methods: The PillCam Colon capsule endoscope was prospectively tested in multicenter setting. indications enrolled patients included (43 %), postpolypectomy surveillance (26...
Vedolizumab (VDZ) is an anti-integrin monoclonal antibody effective in ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). The aim of this study was to examine the "real world" efficacy safety VDZ a large national patient cohort.Patients with inflammatory bowel treated were prospectively followed for 14 weeks. Patients who completed induction protocol (week 0/2/6/14) or discontinued treatment before week adverse events (AEs) primary nonresponse included. outcome clinical remission at 14;...

Methods We utilized a cohort including all patients diagnosed with IBD Israel since 2005. The primary outcome was steroid dependency, secondary use biologics, time surgery, hospitalizations. Outcomes were controlled for possible inherent differences course phenotype....
Ustekinumab is an effective treatment of Crohn's disease (CD). Real-world data addressing the efficacy and safety ustekinumab are scarce.Our aim was to assess in a large national patient cohort.A prospective multicenter study, which we followed patients with active CD treated for 24 weeks.

Summary Background Curcumin and QingDai (QD, Indigo) have been shown to be effective for treating active ulcerative colitis (UC). Aim To evaluate the real‐world experience with Curcumin–QingDai (CurQD) herbal combination induce remission in UC. Methods A retrospec‑tive multicentre adult cohort study from five tertiary academic centres (2018–2022). Active UC was defined as a Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index (SCCAI) ≥ 3. Patients were induced by CurQD. The primary outcome clinical at...
Background and Study Aim: Capsule endoscopy, using the PillCam ESO sending images at a rate of 4 frames per second (fps), has high sensitivity specificity in diagnosing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) lesions. We tested new device which produces 14 fps. The diagnostic performance esophageal visualization these two devices were compared. Patients Methods: 42 patients with GERD symptoms eight history Barrett's esophagus had an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). All underwent capsule...
Abstract Background Early detection of colorectal cancer (CRC) improves prognosis, yet many CRCs are diagnosed following symptoms. The aim this study was to determine which CRC-related symptoms or signs can predict an advanced CRC in the pre-operative stage. Methods Retrospective analysis 300 patients who underwent surgery for between years 2008 and 2019. Patients’ prior diagnosis were documented. Primary endpoint association or/and with at TNM stages 2–4 (i.e., highly advanced), compared...

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are commonly diagnosed during the reproductive years. IBD first manifested pregnancy (pregnancy-onset [POIBD]) is still an undescribed entity. The aim of study was to evaluate characteristics and maternal neonatal outcomes patients with POIBD.Data all pregnant women within a single multidisciplinary referral clinic, IBD-MOM, between 2011-2016, were analyzed. Maternal compared POIBD group those before (non-POIBD).We identified 237 women, 31 (15%) from 206...
