Amidst the obesity and type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) epidemics, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) stand out as a promising therapeutic ally, achieving notable success in glycemic control weight management. While GLP-1RAs’ positive clinical outcomes are commendable, they introduce significant gastrointestinal (GI) challenges, emphasizing pivotal role of gastroenterologists understanding managing these implications. Physicians should be vigilant potential complications if...
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disorder of the gut–brain axis with pronounced adverse effects on physical health, psychological and overall quality life. Diagnostic strategies can vary, highlighting need to synthesize best-practice guidelines. Particularly, American College Gastroenterology British Society both support positive diagnostic strategy; evaluation C-reactive protein, fecal calprotectin, lactoferrin; celiac disease serology. Both guidelines do not routine colonoscopy, differ...
Gastric glomus tumors (GGTs) are rare gastrointestinal lesions originating from the neuromuscular arterial canal or vascular lumen which share many overlapping features with other stromal lesions. Despite most cases of GGTs being benign, there is a lack reliable histological predictive tumor behavior. We present case 42-year-old male who was determined to have GGT via diagnosis and underwent surgical wedge resection. This highlights importance establishing an accurate various factors that...

19.It is possible that the crucial interaction between 5-ASA and COVID-19 determining outcome does not occur in intestine, but lungs.Mesalazine-induced respiratory disease unusual, well-recognised, may be severe. 4 It interesting to consider hypothesis SARS-CoV-2 infection might decrease threshold for 5-ASA-associated disease.In susceptible patients, salicylates could augment production of cysteinyl leukotrienes, thus leading a stronger inflammatory response.If this valid, then leukotriene...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common worldwide and second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Given significant prevalence CRC, regular preventative screening required. CRCs in different locations colon have variable molecular pathogenesis, gross appearance, general disease outcomes. While overall incidence CRC has been decreasing, decrease proximally located significantly lags behind other forms CRC. The objective this study was to establish independent risk factors for...
