We aimed to develop and validate a simple capsule endoscopy (CE) training assessment tool, the Capsule Endoscopy Training Assessment (CETA), prospectively use it analyze learning progression achieved by participants in our CE program.
Recently, a formula of subcutaneous infliximab (SC-IFX) has been approved for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), demonstrating better pharmacokinetic and immunogenic profiles, compared to intravenous (IV-IFX), with similar efficacy safety.
BACKGROUND Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a codominant autosomal hereditary condition that predisposes patients to the development of lung and/or liver disease, and Pi*Z allele most clinically relevant mutation. AIM To evaluate impact clinical parameters AATD phenotypes, particularly allele, in fibrosis. METHODS Cross-sectional cohort study including consecutive with followed Pulmonology or Hepatology consultation. RESULTS Included 69 patients, 49.3% had Pi*MZ phenotype 10.1%...
Introduction: Celiac disease has been associated with gastrointestinal malignancies, most commonly lymphoma. Nevertheless, rarer malignancies have also reported, such as small bowel adenocarcinoma, mainly located in the duodenum or jejunum. Case Presentation: We report a case of female patient celiac poor adherence to gluten-free diet who presented obstruction due primary ileal adenocarcinoma. The remains asymptomatic, adherent diet, and without clinical, biochemical, imaging evidence cancer...
A 67-year-old female, without prior medical history, presented to the emergency department due dizziness and asthenia, where iron deficiency anemia, visible blood loss, was identified. previous abdominal computed tomography revealed intestinal pneumatosis of proximal jejunum right colon. The upper endoscopy showed non-atrophic gastritis associated with H.pylori infection, which treated, colonoscopy colic pneumatosis, other alterations. small bowel capsule performed, revealing bulging areas...
Introduction: Propafenone is a widely used class Ic antiarrhythmic drug that mainly metabolised by the liver. Hepatotoxicity associated with propafenone rare, only few clinical cases reported in literature. Case Presentation: We presented case of propafenone-related hepatotoxicity, cholestatic liver injury and development jaundice pruritus within 3 to 4 weeks treatment initiation. Three months after discontinuation, patient was asymptomatic, all tests normalised. Conclusion: With this case,...
Background: Capsule panendoscopy is increasingly used in Crohn's disease (CD), particularly patients with extensive small bowel and colonic involvement. It offers a non-invasive, 1-step evaluation of both segments, making it appealing for monitoring treatment response. However, there need validated scoring systems that objectively assess inflammatory activity the colon. The aim this study was to externally validate Eliakim Score (Elk-S), developed mucosal inflammation CD by capsule...
Background Gastric dysplasia in the absence of an endoscopically defined lesion is rare, usually either a false positive diagnosis or previously unidentified precancerous during esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD).
Background: Subcutaneous infliximab (SC-IFX) has been associated with a more favorable pharmacokinetic profile than intravenous (IV-IFX) in patients inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim of this study was to compare serum concentrations IBD, before and after the switch from IV-IFX SC-IFX, minimum follow-up 6 months. Methods: Retrospective single-center including Crohn's (CD) ulcerative colitis (UC) clinical remission, previously medicated IV-IFX, who switched SC-IFX. In CD, remission...
