OBJECTIVES: After an acute variceal bleeding, early decision for aggressive management of patients with worse prognosis may improve outcomes. The effectiveness currently recommended standard therapy (drugs plus endoscopic ligation) different risk subgroups and the validity available criteria in clinical practice are unknown. METHODS: We analyzed data 301 consecutive cirrhotic admitted esophageal bleeding. All received antibiotics, somatostatin, 263 therapy. A stratified 6-week mortality...
Abstract Introduction Levodopa‐carbidopa intestinal gel ( LCIG ) infusion has demonstrated to improve motor fluctuations. The aim of this study is assess the long‐term safety and effectiveness in advanced Parkinson's disease PD patients with fluctuations its effect nonmotor symptoms. Methods Adverse events AE their management, clinical motor, aspects were assessed up 10 years. Thirty‐seven treated LGIC ; three subsets patients, specific batteries tests used cognitive behavior assessment for...
A 46-year-old man with AIDS received a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube in October 2009. His condition improved, and the PEG was removed May 2010. Afterwards, patient developed persistent gastrocutaneous fistula at site of previous PEG. Multiple attempts to close clips, gastropexy, an over-the-scope clip (Ovesco Endoscopy AG, Tübingen, Germany) failed.
Background and aims Recurrent bleeding from gastrointestinal (GI) angiodysplasia remains a therapeutic challenge. Identification of factors predicting poor outcome haemorrhage would help us to select the patients who may likely benefit further therapy. Thus, we analysed risk for recurrence acute GI angiodysplasia. Patients methods 62 admitted consecutively with angiodysplasia, between June 2002 2006, were included. Bivariate, multivariate survival analysis performed identify after hospital...
We developed a non-survival in vivo model for testing of gastric natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) closures based on the yield pressure. The aim this study was to test our comparing different closure techniques with surgical NOTES incision.Laparotomy performed 30 pigs. One tube air inflation and one manometry were inserted into stomach via pylorus, which closed gas-tight, abdominal wall closed. inflated air, gastroesophageal pressure measured. A gastroscopy performed,...
Investigations indicate that natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) procedures induce a less pronounced postoperative inflammatory response than open or laparoscopic surgery, inflicting trauma. In NOTES procedures, no skin incision is performed. We compare the added by type of measuring C-reactive protein (CRP) and tumors necrosis factor-alfa (TNF-α).Twenty-seven pigs were randomized to surgical, laparoscopic, transgastric abdominal access. After completion accesses, was All...
Introduction: corticoid administration is the usual treatment of Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) attacks.However, information available on response rates their predictive factors scarce.Objective: to establish steroidal in an homogeneous group patients with CD or UC during first admission hospital.Methods: restrospective analysis 86 who received systemic for a severe flare-up hospital between 1995 2000.Patients were treated per protocol fluid therapy, absolute diet, IV...
Aim: to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of self-expandable metal stent placement for malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). Methods: a retrospective, analytic cohort study at single, tertiary-care center. Results: thirty-six patients that underwent GOO origin were identified during period. Technical success was achieved in 36 (100 %) clinical 31 (86.1 %). Before procedure, 17 (54.8 had score (GOOSS) 0, which is complete inability oral intake. Twenty-three alive 30 days after two...
