Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) allows microscopic imaging within the mucosal layer of gut during ongoing endoscopy. Different studies have addressed potential CLE for in vivo diagnosis ulcerative colitis and colitis. However, there are no data on utility Crohn's disease (CD). The aim was to assess clinical patients with CD determine whether activity can be graded using CLE.Consecutive without were enrolled. colonic mucosa examined by standard white-light endoscopy followed CLE. features...
BackgroundIncreased vascular permeability and angiogenesis play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Aim was to determine whether computed virtual chromoendoscopy has potential enhance assessment severity extent patients with mild or inactive IBD comparison high-definition white-light endoscopy.
Background Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is one of the most dreaded causes hospital-acquired diarrhea. Main objective was to investigate whether confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) has capability for in vivo diagnosis C. associated histological changes. Second prove presence intramucosal bacteria using CLE. Methods 80 patients were prospectively included, 10 diagnosed with CDI based on toxigenic culture. To validate ex vivo, CLE performed pure culture; additionally fluorescence situ...
Rectal carcinoids show an increasing incidence and are malignant tumors that can metastasize [1]. According to the recent guidelines of European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society, rectal less than 2 cm in diameter could be resected endoscopically [2]. As highlighted a systematic review meta-analysis, best endoscopic treatment option is submucosal dissection (ESD) or so-called modified mucosal resection techniques, including band-ligation cap-fitted techniques [3] [4].
Biliary secretion of antibiotic agents into the bile is considerably compromised by biliary obstruction, a precondition bacterial cholangitis. Moxifloxacin may be advantageous according to and antimicrobial spectrum.To establish moxifloxacin obstructed non-obstructed bile.Biliary excretion was determined in plasma 10 patients with obstruction cholangitis without 30 min after administration 400 mg intravenously.The concentration similar both groups (4.45 +/- 1.58 microg/mL; 4.33 1.23...
The recently introduced On Demand Enteroscopy system (ODE; NaviAid AB, Smart Medical Systems, Ra'anana, Israel) enables deep small-bowel enteroscopy using standard endoscopic equipment. ODE device consists of a disposable balloon that is advanced through the working channel endoscope equipped with at least 3.8 mm ([Fig. 1]). To best our knowledge, there are currently no published reports on use this new technique.
Recent studies have analyzed the potential of advanced endoscopic imaging techniques for differentiating hyperplastic and adenomatous colorectal lesions. Latest resection now also allow treatment more staged lesions including early cancerous lesions.To assess i-scan technology to differentiate between polyps neoplasia.Consecutive patients undergoing colonoscopy at a tertiary referral center were included. After dedicated training, participating endoscopists underwent review 298 unknown...
Introduction: In 2013, full-spectrum-endoscopy (FUSE) was introduced as a novel colonoscopy platform. contrast to other endoscopy systems illumination is achieved by LEDs and not xenon light source. addition, the FUSE-system does provide high-definition imaging yet. patients with IBD, precise assessment of disease activity (i.e. mucosal healing) paramount importance predict outcome guide therapy.
<h3>Introduction</h3> Device assisted enteroscopy is the standard technique to explore deep small bowel. However, continuous insufflation of air often significantly distends intestine and hampers subsequent advancement enteroscope, resulting in distension related abdominal discomfort that can compromise completion procedure its diagnostic therapeutic yield. We aimed at developing a novel water infusion reduce bowel facilitate enteroscopic procedures. <h3>Method</h3> have performed...
Einleitung: Das kolorektale Karzinom ist der weltweit am dritthäufigsten diagnostizierte maligne Tumor. Die digitale Filtertechnik i-scan ermöglicht eine verbesserte Darstellung Oberflächenstruktur und von Gefäßen während Endoskopie. Studienziel war es, zu untersuchen, ob die Vorhersage Histologie kolorektaler Neoplasien erlaubt.
Introduction: Recently, a novel full-spectrum endoscope (FUSE) was launched enabling 330 ° field of view on three contiguous monitors. Although recent data has already highlighted the potential FUSE-system to significantly improve adenoma detection rates, concerns have been raised regarding safety and efficacy system in patients with inflammatory bowel disorders.
