This Guideline is an official statement of the European Society Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE). The was also reviewed and endorsed by British Gastroenterology (BSG). It addresses roles small-bowel capsule endoscopy device-assisted enteroscopy for diagnosis treatment disorders. <b>Main recommendations</b> <b>1</b> ESGE recommends video as first-line investigation in patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (strong recommendation, moderate quality evidence). <b>2</b> In overt...
Endoscopy plays an essential role in the diagnosis, management, prognosis, and surveillance of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but surprisingly there are few available guidelines.1,2 This prompted ECCO Guidelines Committee (GuiCom) members to promote a Consensus on appropriate indication application different endoscopic modalities IBD. Since development guidelines is expensive time-consuming process, this may help avoid duplication effort future. It also identify issues where evidence...
MR1: ESGE recommends small-bowel capsule endoscopy as the first-line examination, before consideration of other endoscopic and radiological diagnostic tests for suspected bleeding, given excellent safety profile endoscopy, its patient tolerability, potential to visualize entire mucosa.Strong recommendation, moderate quality evidence. MR2: in patients with overt bleeding soon possible after episode, ideally within 48 hours, maximize subsequent therapeutic yield.Strong high MR3: does not...
The Lewis Score (LS) can assess inflammatory activity on small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE). We aimed to evaluate the LS usefulness in setting of suspected Crohn's Disease (CD).Retrospective single-center study including 56 patients undergoing SBCE for CD. Patients were divided into three groups, according clinical presentation: Group 1 (28 patients): CD not supported by International Conference Capsule Endoscopy (ICCE) criteria; 2 (19 based two ICCE 3 (9 fulfilling or more criteria....
The Lewis score was developed to measure mucosal inflammatory activity as detected by small-bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE). aim of the current study validate assessing interobserver correlation and level agreement in a clinical setting.This retrospective, single-center, double-blind including patients with isolated Crohn's disease who underwent SBCE. calculated using software application, based on characteristics villous edema, ulcers, stenoses. independently one three investigators central...
Background and aims:Extensive evidence has underlined the importance of mucosal healing as a treatment aim for ulcerative colitis (UC). We aimed to assess differences in incidence clinical relapse at 12 months between UC patients with Mayo endoscopic scores (MES) 0 1.
Pan-intestinal capsule endoscopy (PCE) evaluates the small bowel and colon noninvasively. This study evaluated diagnostic accuracy safety of PCE vs. colonoscopy as first-line examination in suspected mid-lower gastrointestinal bleeding (MLGIB).
Small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) may detect proximal small lesions that have been previously missed by ileocolonoscopy and imaging in patients with known ileal and/or colonic Crohn's disease (CD). We aimed to evaluate whether the therapeutic management is influenced SBCE findings. Retrospective single center study. Inclusion of consecutive non-stricturing non-penetrating CD, submitted extension activity, ≥ 1 year follow-up. Lesions were classified Lewis score (LS) as non-significant...
To evaluate small bowel cleansing quality, diagnostic yield and transit time, comparing three protocols prior to capsule endoscopy.Sixty patients were prospectively enrolled randomized one of the following protocols: in Group A underwent a 24 h liquid diet overnight fasting; B followed protocol subsequently administered 2 L polyethylene glycol (PEG) evening before procedure; C additionally 100 mg simethicone 30 min ingestion. Small was independently assessed by two experienced endoscopists...
To evaluate mucosal healing in patients with small bowel plus colonic Crohn's disease (CD) a single non-invasive examination, by using PillCam COLON 2 (PCC2).Patients non-stricturing nonpenetrating CD sustained corticosteroid-free remission were included. At diagnosis, had undergone ileocolonoscopy to identify active lesions, such as ulcers and erosions, capsule endoscopy assess the Lewis Score (LS). After ≥ 1 year of follow-up, underwent entire gastrointestinal tract evaluation PCC2. The...
Recent data imply young patients (age ≤50 years) undergoing small-bowel (SB) capsule endoscopy (CE) for iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) show higher diagnostic yield (DY) sinister pathology. We aimed to investigate DY of CE in a large cohort IDA patients, and evaluate factors predicting significant SB
A violência sexual contra adolescentes é definida como qualquer ato realizado sem o consentimento do adolescente, envolvendo uma pessoa em estágio psicossexual mais desenvolvido, com objetivo de satisfazer os desejos sexuais dessa pessoa. O Instituto Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada (Ipea) estima que apenas 8,5% dos estupros no Brasil são denunciados. Desse modo, deste artigo promover reflexão sobre a importância desconstruir tabus sociais relacionados à educação sexual, além disseminar...
Background Device‐assisted enteroscopies (DAEs) are recent endoscopic techniques that enable direct small‐bowel evaluation. Objective The objective of this article is to evaluate the implementation DAEs in Portugal and assess main indications, diagnoses, diagnostic yield, therapeutic yield complication rate. Methods We conducted a multicenter retrospective series using national Web‐based survey on behalf Portuguese Small‐Bowel Study Group. Participants were asked fill out two online...
