Abstract Background Optimal thresholds for Lewis score in the surveillance of patients with known Crohn’s disease (CD) clinical remission remain uncertain. The aim this study was to evaluate predictive factors exacerbation small bowel inflammatory-type CD remission, focusing on yield score. Methods Retrospective, unicentric cohort including adult inflammatory-type, non-stricturing and non-penetrating CD, who were submitted capsule endoscopy evaluation mucosal healing. Clinical defined as...
<title>Abstract</title> • <bold>Background</bold>: Asthma is one of the most prevalent chronic pulmonary diseases, affecting approximately 20 million Brazilian people. Most patients with asthma in Brazil present uncontrolled disease, leading to high morbidity and mortality rates. Therefore, an effective educational intervention focused on management Primary Health Care (PHC) expected reduce hospitalization rates, emergency visits, direct public health costs, improving quality life patients....
Shorter courses of antimicrobials have been shown to be non-inferior longer, "traditional" duration therapies, including for some severe healthcare-associated infections, with a few exceptions. However, evidence is lacking regarding shorter regimes against infections by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDR-GNB), which are often caused distinct strains and commonly treated second-line antimicrobials. In the duratiOn theraPy in infecTIons MultIdrug-reSistant gram-nEgative (OPTIMISE)...
Shorter courses of antimicrobial therapy have been shown to be non-inferior longer durations for the management several infections. However, data on critically ill patients with severe infections by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDR-GNB) are scarce. In duratiOn theraPy in infecTIons MultIdrug-reSistant gram-nEgative (OPTIMISE) trial, we assessed non-inferiority 7-day versus 14-day intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired MDR-GNB. This was a randomised multicenter, open-label,...
Aims Botulinum toxin injection (BT) is a valid nonsurgical treatment for refractory chronic anal fissure (CAF). Recently, the scoRing systEm AnaL fIsSurE (REALISE) was developed and internally validated to assess severity of fissures. We aimed externally validate REALISE assessment efficacy BT CAF treatment.
Aims Evaluate the rate of complete examinations small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) in patients with previous gastroenteric surgery, as well impact SBCE endoscopic placement using AdvanCE device.
Aims PillCam Crohn's Capsule (PCC) enables comprehensive examination of the entire gastrointestinal tract, offering high diagnostic yield for small bowel and colonic inflammation in disease (CD) patients. Despite its potential, limited research has focused on clinical implications PCC routine practice. This study aimed to investigate impact management inflammatory (IBD)
Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy (SBCE) is the gold standard in Mid-gastrointestinal bleeding (MGIB). Angioectasias are most common vascular anomalies GI tract and considering their frequency, usual intermittent nature risk of rebleeding, aim this study was to identify some characteristics possible predictors rebleeding presence these lesions.
Aims An adequate colon cleansing is paramount to rely on capsule reported findings. Thus, we should strive for high intra and inter observer agreement the evaluation of cleansing. The commonly used grading scales subjective parameters lack proper interobserver agreement. We aim validate a new scale
Aims Capsule endoscopy is a valuable tool in the diagnosis and monitoring of Crohn’s disease (CD). Recently, new panenteric capsule (pan-CE), PillCam (Medtronic, USA) was approved. A novel quantitative score inflammation for Crohn’s, Eliakim score, has emerged. However, optimal index activity far from being completely defined. We aimed to evaluate correlation accuracy between pan-CE (CECDAIic) scores inflammatory parameters.
Aims Gastroparesis is common in patients with Diabetes mellitus, especially those poor glycemic control. Due to this association, diabetic are at risk of prolonged gastric transit time (PGTT) when undergoing small-bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE). In investigation we aimed assess if there was an association between hemoglobin A1c levels and PGTT SBCE.
Background: Incidence of arthritis and arthralgia in pediatric patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) is 2 15% 22%, respectively. There no prospective study to assess joint CD activity indexes (PCDAI) quality life (IMPACT-III) including sacroileal MRI assessment HLA-B27. Methods: Prospective was conducted 67 (age: 13.8±3.3 years, male: 38, female: 29, duration: 21.7±21 months) the incidence arthritis. Detailed physical examination by rheumatologist JAMAR (Juvenile Arthritis Multidimensional...
Small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) is the gold standard in investigation of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) after negative esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and colonoscopy. IDA occurs 2 – 5% adult men postmenopausal women (PsM) a common cause referral to gastroenterologists. premenopausal (PrM) often presumed be due gynecological causes, generally deferred favor replacement therapy.
Currently, both small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) and magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) can be used to assess involvement in Crohn’s disease (CD). However, SBCE appears more sensitive the detection of mild proximal lesions. We aimed compare diagnostic yield for techniques. Adult patients with either confirmed or suspected who were submitted CE MRE retrospectively reviewed. Only performing within 3 months included changes CD therapy during this period excluded. Presence ulcers, villous...
Small bowel capsule enteroscopy (SBCE) is considered incomplete when the dispositive does not reach cecum during battery time. Incompletion rates go up to 15%, as described in several cohorts. Acknowledging risk factors imperative determine individual hazards and implement protocols that could reduce this limitation.
Crohn's Disease (CD) is a chronic and progressive disease. Panenteric capsule endoscopy has been used to assess both the small large bowel in single examination. The Capsule Endoscopy Activity Index (CECDAI) was initially devised measure mucosal disease activity bowel, although 2018 it extended colon for standardization of inflammatory (CECDAIic).
