Abstract Hereditary colorectal cancer (HCRC) accounts for < 5% of all cases. Some the unique characteristics commonly encountered in HCRC cases include early age onset, synchronous/metachronous occurrence, and multiple cancers other organs. These necessitate different management approaches, including diagnosis, treatment or surveillance, from sporadic management. There are two representative HCRC, named familial adenomatous polyposis Lynch syndrome. Other than these syndromes, related...
Background and Aim: The ideal method to remove small colorectal polyps is unknown. We compared removal by colon snare transection without electrocautery (cold polypectomy) with conventional polypectomy (hot in terms of procedure duration, difficulty retrieving polyps, bleeding, post-polypectomy symptoms. Methods: Patients up 8 mm diameter were randomized cold technique group) or (conventional group). principal outcome measures abdominal symptoms within 2 weeks after polypectomy. Secondary...
OBJECTIVE: The use of propofol sedation during endoscopic procedures has increased in recent years. aim this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness nurse-administered low-dose for diagnostic esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). METHODS: We prospectively assessed outcome complications bolus EGD. Propofol administered by injection, with a standard protocol 40 mg patients <70 years old, 30 70-89 20 90 or older. When required adequate sedation, additional doses were given, maximum 120...
Eradication of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) at a younger age is considered to be effective in preventing gastric cancer. This study assessed the characteristics eradication therapy young patients.We enrolled 1073 patients with H. infection between 2000 and 2013. The subjects were divided into three groups according (≤30 years), middle-aged (31-50 elder (≥51 years) groups. We also examined 472 cases investigate clinical characteristics.The rate clarithromycin (CAM) resistance was 57.9%,...
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to determine whether nasopharyngeal decolonization methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) can reduce peristomal wound infection shortly after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) placement. METHODS Of the 84 hospitalized patients referred for PEG, 72 were enrolled in a one-third observation (Group A) and two-thirds randomized trial (Groups B C). Nasopharyngeal swabs taken from consecutive series prior PEG insertion. Based upon these...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Colonoscopy is an excellent but imperfect modality for colorectal cancer screening and prevention. We studied the effects of a retractable transparent extension device on adenoma detection rate as well intubation withdrawal times. METHODS with or without (TRE) was performed by one endoscopist. A subset patients colonic adenomas were randomized to repeat colonoscopy TRE device. Adenoma removal done at second colonoscopy. The principal outcome parameters cecal time, number,...

Background and Aim: Automobile driving is prohibited after midazolam sedation because of the slow recovery psychomotor function. This study prospectively assessed safety low-dose propofol (study 1) compared ability following 2). Methods: Study 1: We investigated bolus injection a (40–80 mg for <70 years 30 ≥70 years) diagnostic esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). Respiratory depression, time to full recovery, overall patient satisfaction were evaluated blood concentrations measured. 2: A...
ABSTRACT Background and Aim. The stool antigen enzyme immunoassay (EIA) methods are widely used for diagnosing Helicobacter pylori infection. Recently, a novel, rapid test, the lateral flow (LFI) method, has been developed. primary purpose of this study was to compare EIA method with LFI diagnosis H. infection in children. Materials Methods. Stool specimens from children being evaluated were also examined using (ImmunoCard STAT! HpSA) (Premier Platinum HpSA). sensitivity, specificity...
Objective. To assess anxiety among pediatric patients and their parents related to initial gastrointestinal endoscopy. Methods. Patients aged <19 years undergoing (GI) endoscopy were invited complete a self-administered questionnaire in 13 institutions Japan. Results. The subjects 128 children, 1 month 17 years. Forty-eight (37.5%) underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), 32 (25%) colonoscopy (CS), 39 (30.5%) both EGD CS, 3 (2.3%) balloon enteroscopy (BE), capsule (CE), CE other...
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to clarify the usefulness management acute colorectal obstruction using a transanal drainage tube before surgery or stenting. METHODS Fifty-four patients (34 males and 20 females, aged 46–94 yr, mean = 69.7) treated between May 1998 March 2004 for were identified in database, their clinical radiological features reviewed. Based on abdominal computed tomography findings, urgent colonoscopy performed. Subsequently, endoscopic decompression Dennis®...
<i>Background and Aim:</i> There are only a few studies on propofol sedation for very elderly patients. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the safety of in patients 90 years age older undergoing endoscopic procedures. <i>Methods:</i> We prospectively assessed procedures using sedation. Endoscopic procedures, dosage used, respiratory depression, complications 30-day mortality were evaluated. In subset enrolled patients, blood concentrations measured....
Aim: The role of endoscopic findings in deciding whether to biopsy the gastric mucosa children remains unclear. present study attempted, for first time, identify value features diagnosis Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection children. Methods: Hp status consecutive receiving esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) was established by combinations histology, 13 C‐urea breath test, and serum immunoglobulin (Ig)G antibody. After routine EGD using a conventional endoscope, presence RAC (regular arrangement...
