Delivering neurotherapeutics to target brain-associated diseases is a major challenge. Therefore, we investigated oral delivery of green fluorescence protein (GFP) or myelin basic (MBP) fused with the transmucosal carrier cholera toxin B subunit (CTB), expressed in chloroplasts (bioencapsulated within plant cells) brain and retinae triple transgenic Alzheimer's disease (3×TgAD) mice, across blood-brain barriers (BBB) blood-retinal (BRB). Human neuroblastoma cells internalized GFP when...
Abstract The elderly are particularly susceptible to trauma, and their outcomes frequently dismal. Such patients often have complicated clinical courses ultimately die of infection sepsis. Recent research has revealed that although subjects increased baseline inflammation as compared with younger counterparts, the do not respond severe or injury an exaggerated inflammatory response. Initial retrospective analysis data from Glue Grant trauma database demonstrated despite a similar frequency,...
Background and Aims: The application of endoscopic suturing has revolutionized defect closures. Conventional over-the-scope necessitates removal the scope, placement device, reinsertion. A single channel, sequence, through-the-scope device been developed to improve this process. This study aims describe efficacy, feasibility, safety a for gastrointestinal closure. Methods: was retrospective multicenter involving 9 centers consecutive adult patients who underwent using X-Tack Endoscopic HeliX...
Adherence to quality indicators and surveillance guidelines in the management of Barrett's esophagus (BE) promotes high-quality, cost-effective care. The aims this study were (1) evaluate adherence standardized classification (Prague Criteria) systematic (four-quadrant) biopsy protocol, (2) identify predictors practice patterns, (3) assess for non-dysplastic BE (NDBE). This was a single-center retrospective esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) performed (June 2008 December 2015). Patient...
Ileus, mechanical bowel obstruction, and acute colonic pseudo-obstruction are characterized by distension of the intestines with accumulated gas. Current treatments not completely satisfactory.
Abstract Background and study aims Balloon cryoablation (BC) is a novel procedure for endoscopic ablation of Barrett’s esophagus (BE- associated neoplasia. We performed meta-analysis to assess the feasibility, effectiveness, safety BC treatment BE Patients methods Several databases were searched relevant articles (PubMed, Web Science, Google Scholar, EMBASE) as well abstracts recent gastroenterology meetings. Data extraction was by two investigators using standardized forms, including age,...
Raoultella planticola (R. planticola), considered an environmental organism, is a gram negative, motile, bacillus with phenotypic similarities to the genus Klebsiella. The organism remains rare cause of human infection few cases reported in literature. However, since its description 1981 there have been increasing rates infections caused by R. reports conjunctivitis, liver abscess, cholangitis, pancreatitis, and necrotizing fasciitis. More concerning are carbapenemase-producing isolates...
Background: After inpatient management of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) due to peptic ulcer disease (PUD), oral proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy is recommended at discharge decrease rebleeding risk and improve healing. Our aim determine whether once-daily PPI dosing hospital associated with inferior 30-day outcomes as compared twice-daily dosing. Methods: We retrospectively identified 233 patients admitted signs symptoms GIB found be PUD on endoscopy. management, discharged were...
A 59-year-old previously healthy man with a 50-pack-year smoking history presented rib pain 1 month after mechanical fall. Physical examination revealed 1.5 cm right cervical lymph node and 0.9×0.9 scalp nodule. The patient had only noticed the lesion prior to presentation. Chest X-ray 5.8×5.0 left infrahilar mass. CT angiography demonstrated extensive metastatic mediastinal hilar adenopathy as well hepatic, adrenal brain lesions. Pathology from fine-needle aspiration of nodes punch biopsy...
Video 1Endoscopic ultrasound-guided ileosigmoidostomy for relief of small bowel obstruction.
Background and study aims Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) is an emerging procedure that lacks technical standardization with limited adoption beyond expert centers. We surveyed high-volume endosonographers about the aspects of EUS-GE to describe how currently performed at centers identify targets for standardization. Methods Invitations complete electronic survey were distributed 21 EUS practitioners 19 U.S. Respondents EUS-GE, indications, efficacy, safety, attitudes...
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is an idiopathic and insidious cholestatic liver disease characterised by persistent inflammation of the biliary tree, leading to fibrosis stricturing.1 Often associated with inflammatory bowel disease, pathogenesis may be related activated intestinal T-cells expressing integrin cell surface receptor α4β7. These are recruited parenchyma resulting in inflammation.1 Patients typically remain asymptomatic until a diagnosis attained detection elevated...
