<h3>Abstract</h3> Fishing gear is constantly being improved to select certain sizes and species while excluding others. Experiments are conducted quantify the selectivity resulting data needs be analyzed using specialized statistical methods in many cases. Here, we present a new estimation tool for analyzing this type of data: an R package named selfisher. It can used both active passive gears, handle different trial designs. allows fitting models containing multiple fixed effects (e.g....

Up to 20% of health care personnel (HCP) were found be infected with coronavirus disease (COVID-19)1Lancet. 2020; 395: 922Abstract Full Text PDF Scopus (853) Google Scholar in the outbreak northern Italy.2Dipartimento della Protezione Civile.http://www.protezionecivile.gov.it/media-comunicazione/comunicati-stampaGoogle Recommendations patient and HCP protection have been made, such as postponing procedures, triage, use personal protective equipment (PPE), creation...
Abstract Despite lower patient adherence, the overnight split-dose (SD) intestinal preparation regimen is currently recommended for early morning colonoscopies. Using low-volume preparation, we compared performance of a “day before late” (DBL) regimen, with whole taken between 8.30 pm and midnight on day endoscopic procedure vs SD colonoscopies scheduled 8 am 10 am. Patients were randomized to DBL group (n = 162) or 158). The took second dose 5 hours colonoscopy. Successful bowel cleansing,...
A recent electron microscopy study suggested that dilated intercellular spaces (DIS) are specific for acid reflux-damaged esophageal epithelium. Electron is, however, expensive and difficult to apply routine biopsies. The aims of this establish a method assessing DIS on light biopsies estimate its association with current clinicopathological parameters esophagitis.21 patients reflux symptoms were investigated. Light assessed size by semiquantitative computer-assisted, static morphometry....
Background The quality of gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy has been recently identified as a major priority being associated with many outcomes and patient's experience. Objective To assess adherence endoscopists to the European Society Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) performance measures for upper lower GI in Italy. Methods All endoscopist members Italian Digestive (SIED) were invited from October 2018 December participate self-administered questionnaire-based survey. questionnaire...
Topoisomerase IIalpha (TOPOIIalpha) and HER-2/neu are chromosome 17q genes coamplified in various cancers; no data exist for Barrett's oesophagus (BO) BO adenocarcinoma (ADC). The aim was to investigate gene amplification protein overexpression of TopoIIalpha Her-2/neu non-dysplastic BO, dysplastic Barrett ADC, 17 aneusomy.Forty-four patients [18 13 with dysplasia (five low-grade dysplasia, eight high-grade dysplasia) ADC BO] were evaluated by immunohistochemistry fluorescence situ...
Capsule endoscopy is a widely performed procedure for small bowel investigation. Once swallowed by the patient, capsule transmits images to an external recorder over digital radiofrequency communication channel. Potential electromagnetic interferences with implantable cardiac devices have been postulated. Clinical studies on safety of in patients defibrillators are lacking.
Re-usable air/water and suction valves used in endoscopes often demonstrate risk of infection. To the authors' knowledge, safety efficacy re-usable single-use have not been compared to date. As such, a laboratory investigation was undertaken compare at 11 Italian endoscopy sites. Safety evaluated by analysing rinse liquid reprocessed ready for use, assessed based on completion endoscopic procedures without valve malfunction. This study found significantly lower contamination with (0 vs...
Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a complication of chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and the precursor esophageal adenocarcinoma (EA), through progression from intestinal metaplasia (IM), high-grade dysplasia (HGD). Although BE to EA seems be infrequent (0.5% per year), endoscopic bioptic surveillance would play significant role in evaluation HGD detection early, curable stage, improving survival rates after treatments. The severity duration GERD could helpful assessment risk for...
Goals: The present survey from the Italian Society of Digestive Endoscopy (SIED—Società Italiana di Endoscopia Digestiva) was aimed at reporting infection control practice and outcomes Units in a high-incidence area. Background: Lombardy region with highest coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) prevalence, end March 2020 accounting for 20% all worldwide deaths. Joint Gastro-Intestinal societies released recommendations to reduce risk contagion. However, there are few data high-prevalence areas...
